Missed opportunity
The gun should have been labeled !!
It is, with the best meme security problem that came to my mind.

‘sudo’ is another contender
I love the fact that “Ninja Cat” was used as a mascot for Windows 10 Insiders back in the day. Makes the meme even better to me.
Buckle up, samurai.
Software from the 80’s? Get that new fangled garbage outta here. If it doesn’t predate the first Alien movie it’s probably full of bugs.
Is there actually pre-1979 software I am using that I probably didn’t know about?
Off the top of my head, vi came out in the late 70s (though it might have been a little while later before you could start editing directly through vi)
As far as I’m aware, a lot of the core utilities originate back some time ago, stuff like ls, CD, chmod/chown, cat, sed, awk etc.
Now the question is, is a piece of software that’s been maintained or ported since the 70s considered pre 79 software?
Unless you’re running BSD or some other genetic Unix probably not as everything GNU is newer than that. GNU is 80s, original Unix 70s, in the 60s you still have giant minicomputers with very little standardisation, including ISA, and before the 60s there were not even compilers.
A decent chunk of software traces lineage back to then, even if the old code has been retired:
viis the screen terminal mode ofexwith is a more featurefuledwhich got most of its features fromqedwhich is 60s software. Cutting-edge: You didn’t have to punch holes any more, you had a keyboard and a printer. Someone figure out whereddhas its argument syntax from so we know whom to blame.
I would argue that’s the cool part. You also have the average hyper racist neo-reactionary Suckless fossid user who thinks daring to write in anything other than C is “gay” or smth.
What does suckless have to do with that?
I don’t think suckless is full of silicon tower elitists glorifying a dead programming language, the joke wasn’t for you.
C
dead
Behold, my Opiniondiscardinator 9001!
As a gay trans man, looking down on people who code in anything other than C is my toxic masculinity. Don’t let reactionaries take it away from me.
You’re not a real man if you use an IDE. Vim and gcc were good enough for the founding fathers (D & R), they’re good enough for me.
I use an IDE… guess I’m not a real man anymore 🏳️⚧️

I believe in your right to access gender affirming care (installing netbeans)
Psh, etch the code directly onto the HDD platters, SSDs are for losers.
real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable
Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I’m never touching C again)
Once you incorporate networking, you’ve lost me. I’d rather implement ed on a billion NAND chips. Soldering is enjoyable and physical; networking gives me aneurysms.
BGP isnt just Turing complete, It’s Cthulhu complete
What did Suckless ever do to you ??😅
I had a discussion with someone who was of the belief that anyone that doesn’t build their own packages and reads the documentation is a lazy retard that doesn’t know what they’re installing on their computer.
That was a fun conversation
I assume they were a Gentoo user?
Spot on, you have similar experiences?
Nope. Just that your description fits Gentoo XD
It was such a weird conversation. He couldn’t imagine people not being interested in how a computer works and wanting to configure everything.
Gentoo have both sides, the cool community and the suckless community xD You can check it in the telegram groups about gentoo
Oi bruv don’t shoot strays at us
This is mostly true, especially in communities like this. I do know a couple of guys who are the complete opposite politically - ultra conservative Christians. But when they need forum support and encounter this part of the community it just makes them stronger in their opinion that the world needs Jesus.
They need TempleOS
They need </ToS breaking thoughts/>

wouldnt it be hardware from the 80s?
Marxist/Leninist hardliners is funny to me because FOSS kind of set me on the path to become a socialist. (Although I’m a libertarian not a ML)
How could you forget the weebs?
Also didn’t include the ‘old guard’, the meme was just too small, or doesn’t have enough recognizable details respectively (and putting them in heaven had bad implications).
I’ll never forget dialling into a work meeting with the corporate infosec team who we needed some guidance from.
Their rep shows up and it’s a fem-presenting person with pink cat-ear headphones.
I’m like oh fuck they sent the big guns, this is exactly who we needed to talk to. And I was right, we got exactly what we needed.
The old adage “The worst-dressed nerd in the meeting is the most important one” could use some updating for the modern era to include trans folks with really good fits…
I read that last word wrong a few times
We also appreciate those. But not actively, at least not while in a professional setting. That’d be rude.
Was she wearing cargo pants? Did she have a subway map poster on her wall?

I swear half these people with blogs pick the most aggressive bright pink and greens when building their websites from scratch for the first time and then just stick with it!
I’m three of those
Your name matches the comment directly above.

You’re Indian tech software from the 80’s setting the kernel mailing list on fire?
