It’s always been for USeR binaries. It’s the first time I’ve seen this bizarre backronym (40 years of Unix here).

That’s what a ligature is. Combining two characters so they don’t clash.

Did they Google windows error messages?

Commercial software compatibility has always been poor. It’s a classic way of locking users in.

A lot of people (regardless of age) have a very fuzzy idea (if at all) of what a file or a directory is. They wouldn’t know a operating system if it sat on their face.

The only way to get them to use Linux is to switch the system on their computers. And they’ll probably manage just fine(after a bit of initial grumpiness), since most interfaces are pretty much the same anyway.

But they’re never going to change on their own.

They’re in Linux now, it should show the shortcuts they’ll encounter everywhere. Not leftovers from another system.

But it’s got blockchain!

(does that actually still get any vc excited nowadays?)

It’s not that simplle or user friendly when none of the usual shortcuts work. C-a did something completely unexpected.

The first time I found myself in nano was when testing a distro fifteenor twenty years ago. I had to edit some files and it was the only available editor. The damn thing was a horror to use. I still have no idea who it caters to. I haven’t had to use it since though.

Back then, you had enough pocket money for a plane ticket and a hotel room. Good times.

It’s ok, they’ll just retire the service eventually.

Really?

What nutrients does it provide?

Just run vigor.

It wouldn’t run for me until I got the Steam version (in Tumbleweed). Works great now.

It would have been better if it had worked with just one copy though. At least I got it on sale.

You gotta play by the rules. If you’re too excentric, you’ll get kicked out. He had it coming.

Nobody wants to be second. The olympics are very competitive.

I read analogue clocks subconsciously, converting them automatically to 24h time.

Ah, the infamous trojan donkey.

I’ve applied the workaround that successfully gets wireplumber to ignore the camera for now. Like a lot of us, it’s not a peripheral that sees much use on my laptop. I’m curious to see what difference it’ll make on this machine that ought to have a relatively decent battery life (Yoga Slim 7 Pro).

At any rate, we can probably expect this to be fixed fairly soon now that the problem has been identified.

The backslash is known as an escape character in this context, because it removes (escapes) the special meaning of the following character.

It’s also used that way in most Unix shells.
