1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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 figures
We 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.

Me doing it the worst way > opening up dolphin(file explorer) navigating to the folder then opening terminal there.
Doesnt dolphin has a terminal in built so you can watch files in gui and still use cli?
Yes I use it sometime but then I close it and forget about it

Childhood me with only MS-DOS machines is all feeling nostalgic.
Tbf it is less key presses since you can generally just recall the last command.
cd /some/thing/i/remember
Wait until we tell them about autojump
cd ..
ls
ls -la
cd ..
ls
cd ..
rm -rf /
git () { if [ "$1" = "cd" ] then shift cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*" else command git "$@" fi }
I've used a script that made 'up 4' a thing. Forgot to migrate it though.
Biggest issue I have with custom macros is Iβm logging into like 5 different machines a day. Donβt wanna keep copying over my custom bash files. Prefer built-in commands.

Honestly I haven't tried this on Linux yet, but didn't Windows implement this somewhere along the way?...
cd ....
I aliased cd to a custom funtion in my bashrc to do this at one point, but cd ../../../.. is too engrained so I never rembered to use it.
cd .
