This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's funny how many "Linux bad" memes seem to think everything's done through the CLI

[–] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah... Except it kind of is. The moment you want to do something slightly off the beaten path you're stuck using CLI. Linux isn't bad but I wish people were more honest about the experience, lol.

No more so than modern Windows.

Powershell commands to allow you to even make an account

Powershell commands to remove the spyware

Powershell commands to remove gamebar bloatware

Powershell commands to activate windows

etc, etc.

It's funny how linux users can't scroll past a Linux bad meme without achtuallying

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Name something you care about. Now be honest: do you scroll past everything that spreads misinformation about that thing?

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

True, if there was a post on greentext declaring that your mother hates butt sex, I would feel the need to step in to correct that.

what shell uses a > as default PS1? csh?

If I could figure it out as a non English speaking 9yo back in 1987, you can too Anon. I believe in you!

This is the best out of your ass lie I've seen today.
