1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Does it work on fish shell?

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

    What that garble of symbols does, is that it defines and calls a function named :, which calls itself twice.

    The syntax for defining a function is different in Fish, so no, this particular garble will not work:

    But it is, of course, possible to write a (much more readable) version that will work in Fish.

    you can write a more readable version in any shell, it's intentionally unreadable

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Yeah, I meant, as an attacker, you couldn't come up with a similarly unreadable version.

    At least, as far as I can tell, defining a function requires spelling out function and seems to require being defined on multiple lines, too.

    Oh, I see. That's very nice then

    Unfortunately it works in zsh. I just had to kill my laptop after curiosity got the better of me.

    The ampersand looks very weird in that font. It would bug me.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    It hails back to the early days of the ampersand, from when it was basically still just Latin "et": https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trebuchet_MS_ampersand.svg

    Personally, I do like this font (Fira Mono+Sans), because it still looks professional, without being so boring that I get depression from looking at it.
    But yeah, that ampersand is pushing it a bit, as I'm not sure everyone else knows that's an ampersand...
