Well, I have no idea what the commands do but I still enjoyed the joke.

Man = manual. Not sure what cat stands for but it prints the content of a file to the terminal (command line).

[-] feddylemmy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I believe it stands for concatenate.

I learned it long ago as "catenate".

checks Google

Yep, seems to fit.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

Right, I always forget it can do more than just print file contents. Well, not planning on remembering it tomorrow.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
