I fell for a similar (but less) obvious joke on my first Linux installation back in 1995. That one used dd instead of rm. I lost a lot of code that I had written. After that, I’ve failed to see the humor in this kind of joke. There’s always the risk that someone new doesn’t understand it’s a joke, and tries it out.

I started playing Drakar & Demoner (now known as “Dragonbane”) in the 80’s, but after a long abscence from the world of TTRPGs I started playing D&D 5E in 2020. Now I’m exploring Pathfinder 2E, as well as designing my own GURPS-inspired game. My home in the Fediverse is https://ttrpg-hangout.social/.

1·5 months agoI think you’re taking this a bit more seriously than it’s intended to be, but yeah, there have been Democrat presidents, but there still isn’t gun control, univseral healthcare (not even for children!), etc.
If the republicans win, it goes further right. If the democrats win, it stays where it is. So the only movement is to the right, never left.

People have to remember that this is the Internet, this thing is global.
226·1 year agoYes. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is a fundamental principle for good reason. For example, we don’t actually know if anything of what we’ve read about him is actually true.
Exactly. People need to remember that this is the Internet, not their home country. We don’t know where you’re from.
Well, I haven’t pooped since last year, I bet that stuff is pretty damn hard by now if you really must know. 😅
No, I did not have to learn that the hard way. I could have learned it another way. You’re objectively wrong. And you don’t always have a backup. Especially not back in 1995, when this happened. Back then, backups typically happened nightly. So even with a backup, I would still have lost a day’s worth of work.
