I use Linux. Using apt to update everything looks so much cooler than windows updates. It's also a lot more informative when there's issues.

The fact that it makes me look like a Hollywood hacker, at least when I've been lazy and not updated for a while, is just a nice bonus.

LOL what? Why the downvote?

[–] mudmaniac@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Must be one of those people that are scared by term windows

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

Huh, that's strange.

Fun, but I like being able to explain what I'm doing. Or at least start, before eyes glaze over and I come to a halt, wondering if I'm actually a lot deeper down this rabbit hole than I thought...

Well we know you can spell update so you’re already better than most windows users.

Until this day, always when i open a terminal on my colleague's Mac and fix his problem with mostly [ up,up,up -> Enter ] he keeps looking at me like i just took a dump in front of his house, for the rest of the day.

Edit: we have worked together for 20 years by now

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 20 points 1 month ago

Could it be that you took a dump in front of his house before fixing his problem?

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

[ up,up,up -> Enter ]

So if I understand this right, his terminal history consists entirely of commands you've run to fix his recurring problems.

[–] odium@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

I have the opposite experience where I opened a terminal on a colleague's Mac and fixed his env variables and he was mostly impressed.

TBF, anyone who can open Terminal can probably hack the average Facebook Grandma.

"Can I have your bank details please?"

"Sure"

Way back in the 1000's, I got detention for ctrl-breaking out of an autoexec.bat and looking around the hard drive. I also lost an internship.

Man isn't that fun, getting punished by educators for outsmarting them?

"Alright then, I am a hacker."

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Not a hacker. Just a very naughty boy. Now go away.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm not a hacker, but when I use the terminal, etc. I feel like one and know I look like one to the vast majority of people, and we all need our cool feeling moments.

[–] Shark_Ra_Thanos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Hey, at least he's not a cracker.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 month ago

I sorta miss this but I am far enough that I tend to only deal with IT people so im sorta insulated from this.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 month ago

He is thale hacker!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, this never happened...

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes it has, lots of times for me personally, so I'm sure it's common.
