    >"sudo was initially released: circa 1980"

    Random sidenote, today I learned that not only does sudo have a logo, it's in direct reference to a classic xkcd strip.

    They're also aknowledging that it already existed... It's new to windows. I don't like them either but you don't need to actively look for shit to be upset at them over.

    I was poking fun at MS for promoting a new feature which has existed on other platforms since the early 80s and should have had a Windows equivalent ages ago.

    I'm curious, what part of my comment makes you think I'm upset? I genuinely don't know how you came to that conclusion, and if I do come off as upset for making a joke I'd like to avoid that in the future.

    The sandwich with a face makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason

    [–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago

    This sandwich is definitely the type of sandwich to eat humans as revenge for its kind.

    Kinda wish I didn't know it had a logo. Those eyes are staring into my soul

    today I learned that not only does sudo have a logo,** it’s in direct reference to a classic xkcd strip**.

    this is definitely not directed at you but hearing xkcd described as classic makes me feel old :)

    [–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Oh I didn't mean to classify xkcd itself as "classic"! It's just that #149 is probably one of Randall Munroe's most iconic comics and one of the first ones that come to my mind when I think of xkcd.

    I must say though, it's been around for almost two decades, being successful and constantly relevant in nerdy online spaces. If there is such a thing as a classic webcomic, xkcd should probably qualify.

    haha it's ok i just remember laughing over it with my friend when i just left uni in like 2003 or sometime like that :)
