From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You also don’t need the dash for the short options.

True, but I refuse to entertain such a non-standard option format. It's already enough to tolerate find's.

Technically the notation with dashes is the non-standard one - the dash form is a GNU addition. A traditional tar on something like Solaris or HP-UX will throw an error if you try the dash notation.

It's also traditional to eat raw meat, but we discovered fire at some point.

Don't try to take my raw ground pork away from me.

my raw ground pork away from me.

Who are you, the Mett demon?
Matt Damon made out of mett\

(It works great with beef, too. Bonus points for the raw yolk over it. If not homemade though there's literally one bar that I trust with this, salmonella is not fun.)

Not enough onions. Your average mettigel has better mett/onion ratio.

I got toxoplasmosis that way

That’s an audible “yuck” from me, man. Well done!

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Can't be well done if it's raw.

Looks like you Mett your match.

I like the dashes, they make the options look like options to me.
