As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.

Powershell is a different story.

Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.

Damn, this one really got me. Nicely done.

I saw this pop up on here a week or two ago. It’s a great print. I was hoping it was available in a larger size, but most of the artist’s prints are pretty small. If I could get a good giclée print of this 24+ inches (preferably 36) in the long dimension, I’d get it in a heartbeat.

He has other great prints too.

The first “season” of the podcast Slow Burn is about this. It’s excellent. I’ve listened to it twice.

That is my hope as well. I’ll say that the new icon is not to my taste, though I respect that someone worked on it and some people like it. It was, after all, selected by vote (though, I don’t think “keep the original” was an option). I personally find the original to be more exciting and modern. An option for the user to select their choice would be a good way of making everyone happy. If the dev can track those selections, it would also be a good way of knowing what people actually care for.

You’ll sometimes hear IT people use “Layer 8 problem” which is a reference to the OSI networking model. The model has 7 layers. It starts at layer-1, the physical layer (the literal wires that the signals flow through), and ends with layer-7, the application later (things like http, ftp, etc.).

“Layer-8” isn’t technically part of the OSI model, but unofficially it refers to the human layer, or the user. When IT people are troubleshooting an issue, trying to identify where in the model the issue is happening, “layer-8” is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “there isn’t an actual problem… the person is the problem”.

Another good one is the “ID10T” error (read as “I-D-ten-T”), which looks a lot like “IDIOT” when written down. It means the same thing.

I have the “dark” theme perpetually on in the app, so I never noticed this. I’m unsure if the dev can affect the color of the text up there and invert it in the “light” theme. I’ll be watching this thread because I’m now curious.

Exactly. Layer 8 problem.

Anyone know a Lemmy equivalent of r/woosh?

Thanks! I had already worked out the first bit and the last bit, but I hadn’t thought to look at that middle part. I appreciate your time and insight.
