Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    -H for Hard drive to delete, -h is help

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

    -H is for Hforce

    -h is halt.

    Which assumes you also wanted to catch fire because you didn't set --halt-without-catching-fire

    Do developers get hard-ons for using nonstandard flags?

    Use -h, --help. None of this "no hyphen" bullshit or using the plus sign or a different flag like --info

    sudo shutdown -h now

    It makes sense in context. Whaddya gonna do?

    -H is for "hell no just uninstall"

    Look, if they can't stick to established convention and they're not gnu (and thus magically excusably arrogant as fuck because #stallman), then you just know they'll be somehow dragging in remote libraries or something equally as fuckwitted; so just remove it and live your life.
