It must be a KDE version.

To all the users in chat having issues with klitoris, protip: it requires sudo for pretty much every command.

[–] mastod0n@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'm more of a GIMP guy.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

There's a very useful linux tool called "fuck". When you make a typo in a CLI command and get an error message, all you have to do is type "fuck" and it looks at your last command and the error message and takes a guess at fixing it. If it's right all you have to do is hit Enter.

Are you suggesting there is something wrong with any of these names:

  • gimp
  • finger
  • john the ripper
  • libcaca
  • toilet
  • fsck
[–] db2@lemmy.world 137 points 3 days ago (3 children)

unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, umount, sleep

Don't forget fuck

Also, in Italian "sudo" means "I sweat".

sudo nano

means "I sweat, dwarf"

bash: klitoris: command not found...
:(

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 44 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, you should touch klitoris or finger klitoris, not bash it.

man klitoris

no manual entry for klitoris

Well that explains a lot.

[–] PiratePanPan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

man klitoris? Don't you mean bussy?

thanks!

I've been looking for that for the past 30 years.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

At least the man who provides the documentation is huge.

The most clearest description of file explorer: Dolphin (?)

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (6 children)

Like if Nautilus is any better

Or, like, Total Commander. A wild guess would be some strategy game.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Meanwhile, Midnight Commander reads like the title to a pornogram.

The application most likely to cause confusion among True Gamers™ who got fed up with Windows.

(PRO TIP: dolphin is the KDE file manager, dolphin-emu is what you really want. PRO TIP 2: To defeat the PulseAudio daemon, shoot at it until it dies)

Or nautilus. My assumption is the files are in your sea not in their cloud.

Is the GNOME version called Gock?

[–] Gumus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I would not be surprised if KDE already had "Klitoris"

We need a command line interface named Toris. CLI Toris

I'm a dev. I develop little prototypes and things with Rust. I often create a new repository and don't give the project a name, until I've coded enough of it that I know where it's going.

A few years back, the makers of the programming language Rust started punishing people for prepending rust- before the names of their tools and apps. They recommended that people append -rs to the end.

The combination of these two things caused me to end up with a whole bunch of repositories named something like cli-rs or clitool-rs, both of which I'd just pronounce as clitoris.

I'm still amazed people use and browse the septic tank of the internet. Xitter just won't stop.

Gnome: GSpot. It doesn't actually exist (GNOME devs though there was no use case for it)

GNOME folks are like "well, before GNOME was even a thing, we had this application called The Gimp, and we kinda wish we didn't call it that, so please don't name your apps for laughs OK?"

Is this meme from 2020? Windows would just call it Internet Copilot.

I'm kind of surprised that Apple didn't name the iPhone just "Phone".

Can't find the app guys. Where is it? Bruh. Help me someone, my girlfriend is coming home and I don't want to get mocked for the same thing two days in a row.

2026version: copilot internet 365 just shortened to copilot after the next MBA is hired.

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Seriously, all Windows software is starting to sound the same, with as little clue as possible as to what it actually does. Remote Desktop on Mac is called "Windows App". What does that mean? Everything else is called 365.
