Also, in Italian "sudo" means "I sweat".

sudo nano

means "I sweat, dwarf"

I like how developers are not shying away from possibility of them having foot fetish (foot terminal, gnome logo being a foot)

[–] vanillama@programming.dev 54 points 5 days ago (12 children)

The foot is actually symbolic for the devs stepping all over you with their opinionated design and no choices

It must be a KDE version.

To all the users in chat having issues with klitoris, protip: it requires sudo for pretty much every command.

bash: klitoris: command not found...
:(

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 57 points 4 days ago (2 children)

No, you should touch klitoris or finger klitoris, not bash it.

man klitoris

no manual entry for klitoris

Well that explains a lot.

[–] PiratePanPan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

man klitoris? Don't you mean bussy?

No that would probably be the xfce equivalent.

There's an awesome linux tool called "fuck". When you make a typo in a CLI command and get an error message, all you have to do is type "fuck" and it looks at your last command and the error message and takes a guess at fixing it. If it's right all you have to do is hit Enter. Super useful!

thanks!

I've been looking for that for the past 30 years.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

At least the man who provides the documentation is huge.

The most clearest description of file explorer: Dolphin (?)

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

Like if Nautilus is any better

Or, like, Total Commander. A wild guess would be some strategy game.

Or nautilus. My assumption is the files are in your sea not in their cloud.

Is the GNOME version called Gock?

[–] Gumus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I would not be surprised if KDE already had "Klitoris"

We need a command line interface named Toris. CLI Toris

[–] zen@lemmy.zip 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm a dev. I develop little prototypes and things with Rust. I often create a new repository and don't give the project a name, until I've coded enough of it that I know where it's going.

A few years back, the makers of the programming language Rust started punishing people for prepending rust- before the names of their tools and apps. They recommended that people append -rs to the end.

The combination of these two things caused me to end up with a whole bunch of repositories named something like cli-rs or clitool-rs, both of which I'd just pronounce as clitoris.

Gnome: GSpot. It doesn't actually exist (GNOME devs though there was no use case for it)

I'm still amazed people use and browse the septic tank of the internet. Xitter just won't stop.

GNOME folks are like "well, before GNOME was even a thing, we had this application called The Gimp, and we kinda wish we didn't call it that, so please don't name your apps for laughs OK?"

[–] Scottyc65@reddthat.com 4 points 3 days ago

Only problem with that is most men wouldn't be able to find it.

2026version: copilot internet 365 just shortened to copilot after the next MBA is hired.

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Seriously, all Windows software is starting to sound the same, with as little clue as possible as to what it actually does. Remote Desktop on Mac is called "Windows App". What does that mean? Everything else is called 365.

I'm kind of surprised that Apple didn't name the iPhone just "Phone".
