grep
the concept that if you search for something, you find completely unrelated things
sed
the idea that time is a stream and that you could change what you said if only you knew how
pwd; ls
a momentary awareness of what's around you
git blame
the attribution of malice
i'm not sure why i'm writing this
try to be nice to each other
and to yourself
have a file named girl and put 'nya' in it and you can do cat girl and your computer will meow at you
du -h; ^C; df -h (and the other way around of course)
the acceptance that some things can never be learnt, and that's ok
I have never felt such kinship with another soul as when reading this reply
if pwd; ls is momentary awareness of what's around you, does that make ssh user@host ls -la astral projection
it does amuse me that most uses of sed don't use anything but the s command. like, there's an entire 70s teletype text editor in there ripe for misuse.
Kate, how did you get next-line explanations to display like that? (thx in advance for a markdown lesson!)
the beautiful thing about linux is that i have to look up the commands for everything every time i use it. i can have a cool lil printout of commands and their meanings near the com puter and feel like a boomer even when i do cool zoomer things like 'run cohost bot'
i dont remember where i saw or heard it but the phrase visual grep is good. like, "rob pike is wrong about syntax highlighting, because it allows you to visually grep for different symbol types"
