    I use Linux. Using apt to update everything looks so much cooler than windows updates. It’s also a lot more informative when there’s issues.

    The fact that it makes me look like a Hollywood hacker, at least when I’ve been lazy and not updated for a while, is just a nice bonus.

    Until this day, always when i open a terminal on my colleague’s Mac and fix his problem with mostly [ up,up,up -> Enter ] he keeps looking at me like i just took a dump in front of his house, for the rest of the day.

    Edit: we have worked together for 20 years by now

    TBF, anyone who can open Terminal can probably hack the average Facebook Grandma.

    Way back in the 1000’s, I got detention for ctrl-breaking out of an autoexec.bat and looking around the hard drive. I also lost an internship.

      Man isn’t that fun, getting punished by educators for outsmarting them?

      Not a hacker. Just a very naughty boy. Now go away.

    I’m not a hacker, but when I use the terminal, etc. I feel like one and know I look like one to the vast majority of people, and we all need our cool feeling moments.

    I sorta miss this but I am far enough that I tend to only deal with IT people so im sorta insulated from this.

      Yes it has, lots of times for me personally, so I’m sure it’s common.
