Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace...

I end up hitting Ctrl+u at work all the time and then being disappointed and holding backspace.

Bro. You just changed my life and don't even realize it

Here's another mindfuck: gnu readline is so popular that developers of other software tend to implement its keybinds as hidden features/eastereggs. That's why ctrl+u works in GTK text input boxes as well!

What does that do?

Delete until start of line. So essentially equivalent to spamming backspace a bunch.

  • 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.
