For those who don't know the image source, it's from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.
Is that a Nintendo power glove?

It's the power glove that really gets me. It's so bad.
I put an optical drive in my PC recently, and I've been giggling like an idiot typing "eject" and "eject -t" into the terminal. Terminal commands that do something physical in the world delight me.
It feels magical to run systemctl shutdown now to my laptop through SSH and seeing my laptop turn off without touching it

me at the ripe age of 12 discovering i could type firefox and it would open firefox
so uhm i use a window manager now
More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.
Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??

What, no black hoodie? I thought all hackers had to wear a hoodie to hack
There must be a "the virgin Mr Robot hacker vs the chad Kung Fury hackerman" comparison out there somewhere

I don't use the termulator for opening apps that can bepened through GUI simply because the termulator has to stay open and that clutters the taskbar.
bro doesn't know about &
elaborate
Idk I don't know about & either (I know && but I'm guessing it's different), but you can ctrl+z it, then use bg to run it in the background, then disown to divorce it from the terminal.
I'll try firefox & when I get home and see what happens though, I'm assuming that's what he meant.
I tried & and it lets you continue sending commands into the terminal. Typing firefox & and then disown and closing the terminal yields the same result as opening firefox through the GUI.
