Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    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.

    Ah MacOS, don't forget they're continuing to neuter root/sudo ~~probably for some future goal of a walled garden desktop/laptop 🤮~~ for "privacy and security"

    [–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 21 points 9 months ago

    Apple may introduce it again, but not before they get some trademark word for it like "Secure Ascension(TM)".

    Are they actually naming the command "sudo" or is that just a comparison?

    Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol

    The sudo command offers a way to quickly elevate a command as administrator from your current unelevated command line context and is familiar to some users coming from other operating systems.

    [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    From any other operating system

    TempleOS doesn't have sudo, you just need to pray for a divine intervention.

    [–] sata_andagi@sopuli.xyz 18 points 9 months ago

    You don't need sudo, everything is already in Ring 0 as God intended.

    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.

    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.

    1. they'll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel
    2. 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

    1. they'll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel

    Only changes they would make to the kernel. There is no obligation to make an OS utilizing the linux kernel open source.

    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.

    [–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

    People are laughing because it took them more than 30 years to figure that out.

    you can emulate this currently with psutils until the official sudo for windows comes out :)

    also thefuck is even funner :)

    I'll take it.

    Do they finally have an ls in the default path, or do I still need to alias that?

    [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 25 points 9 months ago

    There's an alias for it by default in PowerShell.

    Actually, you do... does it have higher authority than TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM?

    [–] eatham@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago (5 children)

    No, just admin, which we could already do by running CMD as admin.

    sudo can only be elevated via the User Account Control (UAC) security feature designed to protect the operating system from unauthorized changes using verification prompt.

    lmao

    [–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago (10 children)

    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
