FS TAB - 3 syllables

F STAB - 2 syllables

The choice is clear.

FSTAB (silent F) - 1 syllable

Yes FS TAB.

Since when has Linux been about taking the easy way out?

[-] Innocent_Bystander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I mean, it's literally shorthand already for filesystem table innit?

We geeks do not care about syllables! We are the ones who "shortened" the 3 syllable "World Wide Web" to the 9 syllable "www"!

[-] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Still only 3 syllables in German ๐Ÿคท

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

"Dub dub dub" is 3 syllables

By this logic we should just fuse the f and s for a monosyllabic word.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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 remove France.
