I use xe/xem or they/them pronouns ATM.
I wanna be a cat girl! Or a cat enby perhaps. Nyan.
They just said :wq
in school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn’t been changed if you use :wq
. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert??
Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.
It’s also helpful to note that “shell builtins” don’t typically have man pages (at least for BASH). You can find help on these commands by typing [builtin name] --help
or looking in the shell’s man page or info doc (no one told me when I was learning, so I got confused as to why some of the more common commands didn’t have man pages)
This should work with some caveats.
/dev/cdrom
with the name of the device file corresponding to your drive.Linux trys to treat devices like files. If you ran xxd /dev/cdrom
, you would see every bit on the disk (not just those of the files, but those in the free space as well) in order from the first to the last (converted to base-16 in what is called a hexdump). Not that you need to see this, but your video player does. The “DRM cracking” is actually a feature of libdvdcss that makes it possible for the system to treat the disk this way. dd
is just a general copying command and if Stack Exchange is to be believed, it isn’t necessarily the best option (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12532/dd-vs-cat-is-dd-still-relevant-these-days). But it probably is necessary for the linked guide to work because it has dd
truncate the file.
edit: caveats is note spalled caceats
edit: file → files on the disk
I suspect if you are trying to build an inclusive community but don’t have a lot of diversity already, the only thing you can really do to change the culture is to remind people to be considerate in the way they speak. And if most people who would be offended aren’t actually part of the community (but you would like them to feel welcome to join), then you might want some bot rather than a person to be the “narc” and remind people to be on their best behavior. So I guess if the mods are the only ones who want to be nice, then yes, it is a bit ridiculous because it will never work. Even if people change their language, they won’t be nice. But if most people want things to change, it could be a helpful way to both remind you to be inclusive and get the few people who would rather talk about how having to say bartender is censorship (without actually defending why they want to make a point of saying “barmen”) to realize that they either have to change the way they talk in that particular community or find a better fit.
I would’ve appreciated a trigger warning on the post since it uses a slur, but wow, it is amusing (I’m sure it’ll be less amusing once I experience more overt transphobia).
