I don’t think i need to explain how it works, should i ?
sudo systemctl disable telemetry
This incident will be reported
This meme makes a lot more sense if you don’t cover up the faces
good thing we are all memelords who know this format by heart
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.
sudo rm -rf C:/The command has a smile
C:so you know its safe.actually, powershell also has aliases for unix-like commands, for example
rm. iirc you needrm -Forcethodeleted by creator
People are laughing, but it is annoying to open a Windows terminal, get a couple of steps into whatever you were doing, and find you need admin privileges for some bullshit.
Pressing up, home, "sudo " and enter is a lot quicker than opening a new command prompt in admin mode.
People are laughing because it took them more than 30 years to figure that out.
I’ve been already using gsudo for that purpose
Where keys hope they support “sudo !!”
I unironically have thefuck installed in a few of my more frequently logged VMs. Incredibly convenient.
Don’t forget all the UI/UX they’ve been copying from KDE. Working at Microsoft must be such an easy job when the open source community does all your work for you.
A problem I have with the GPL is it allows corporations and shareholders to use software for free. I would be interested in licensing software I make for commercial use by sole proprietors and other small businesses for free, but charge truly offensive prices to entities that have “investors.” Like, Bob’s wood shop, where Bob, his son Rob, and Rob’s friend from high school Jimmy make butcher block counter tops? They can use my software for free. Microsoft? $600 trillion per seat per minute.
How exactly do you want it? Publicly traded companiee can’t use it? That would affect small companies too, but being publicly tradable is more likely to make an evil company in the end. Companies over a certain valuation? That would have problems with interest and private companies like valve not having to tell people their valuation. Mix of both is probably best.
I would probably list out a series of symptoms of large businesses that don’t qualify for my non-corporate license.
- The company itself, its owners, executives, board members, employees or any other persons associated with the company has spent more than $100 on lobbying since the invention of the written word. To include a middle manager that worked for the company for 2 weeks, quit, and then later went on to become involved in lobbying.
- Any executive, board member, manager or such person currently or has ever had a contract that features any clauses that could be described as a “golden parachute.”
- The company has ever engaged in anti-union activity.
- The company has ever outsourced jobs overseas because labor in developing countries is cheaper. Hiring outside one’s home country seeking better expertise ie “We contracted with a German machine shop because the sample work they turned in was of better quality” is okay; “We only have to pay Vietnamese teenagers 40 cents a day” isn’t.
- The company publicly trades stock. That is to say random people mostly stock brokers and banks that don’t actually generate any value for society pays a little money and then expects dividents in perpetuity like ticks getting fat and bloated with the blood of higher life forms. These people may not financially benefit from my work more than I do.
- The highest paid person who is in any way on the payroll of the company is paid more than 20 times the lowest paid employee.
That’s probably a good start.
That’s a pretty good list. I would say for 1 and 4 it should be in the past 50 years, to allow for companies to change. I would also add that anything the parent company or a company owned by the parent company that violates these rules also counts. Also, what is a “golden parachute”
A “golden parachute” is basically a clause in the contract of a CEO or other higher up where the company agrees to pay severance benefits. I don’t have a problem with severance pay in general but some of these things are basically "No matter how much I embezzle and defraud, no matter how many people I kill, no matter how much damage I do, I get tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, to the degree of actually incentivizing getting hired and fired as much as possible.
That’s pretty stupid.
Exactly.
Not so easy. Look at how often they have to redo the startmenu.
Now get rid of those silly back slashes in paths, use bash as a non mentally deficient shell, change that sad kernel to Linux 6.8 and up, change your laughably sad NTFS to something sane, anything, even ext3 would do but take ext4, get rid of your ridiculous drive letters and instead of copying KDE, why don’t you just switch to KDE on X or Wayland?
Do all that and make it open and free, like all other actual operating systems and we’ll talk
Are they actually naming the command “sudo” or is that just a comparison?
Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol
What’s wrong with giving a command the same name as the equivalent command from other operating systems?
Microsoft linux when?
Seriously. Yes.
If Microsoft doesn’t have a secret internal build of Windows that runs on a Linux Kernel, they’re out of their minds.
The Windows Kernel, as cool as it is, is 100% a cost center. If Microsoft switches (seemlessly) to a Linux kernel, no one would really notice. So at some point they should really switch it.
- they’ll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel
- even with linux being vastly superior, it nice we have 3 major kernels with widely different approaches. it would be sad if either of these 3 dies out

Agreed. I do think at least a couple versions of the Windows NT kernel are going to live on forever in emulation, thanks to some pretty awesome games that require it.
To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys
Drop can mean to release or to discontinue, some words have two meanings, which gets selected via context.
Hey I know it’s a week later, but I rarely log in to Lemmy.
If you read the headline, it could be interpreted either way. The only way to know the actual meaning is if you already knew what the article was about, but if I knew nothing about windows, I could easily assume that it had a feature called ‘sudo’ which is now being dropped.
Supporting this kind of behavior is how we ended up with the word ‘literally’ meaning both literally and figuratively. Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
Words can have multiple meanings, but If a word means one thing, but also the opposite of that thing, it adds unnecessary confusion. Not saying there aren’t many other examples, but I think it’s something we should try to avoid.
This has put me in mind of when OSX added virtual desktops. Everyone forgot that they’ve been a thing in *nix for 30 years, and NextOS (which OSX was built on top of) already had them. So Apple purposefully removed them, let people complain about not having them (and build their own 3rd party solutions) for something like 8 years, then got mountains of positive press for the “new innovation” of virtual desktops. Isn’t Apple amazing!
Great job Microsoft! I’m sure this is a game changer for the world.
fyi the NeXT OS is called NeXTSTEP.
Thanks.
