I kind of want to go back in time and make it so that the original yes always printed the first letter of the name it was called by. That way you could symlink any name you like to it and it would do the right thing. Called as no it would print ns, etc. The optional parameter would still be there for longer strings or alternate uses.
The reason time travel would be needed is that there’s bound to be, or have been, someone who has done something weird regarding symlinking yes that relies on it always printing y when it has no parameter, and the name trick would be a breaking change.
I’m going to assume you’re not kidding, in which case, no, I mean the first letter of the command name it was called by.
There are already commands that do this. For example, on my machine, ex is the head of a symlink chain that leads to the vim text editor’s executable and if I run ex, vim will know that it was started with the name ex and will start in ex mode. ex was an editor that worked in a different way but was vim’s ancestor, so backwards compatibility is built right in for those strange people who love ex, (or have some kind of automation reliance on it being present).
Usually, the main command has a command line option that achieves the same effect as the special name. Here, vim -e is the less clever way to start vim in ex mode.
For yes, symlinking the name no to it and then calling that should arguably cause it to print n repeatedly, but it doesn’t, for historical reasons, hence my suggestion to go back in time and make it act differently.
(None of this touches on the fact that the GNU philosophy wants nothing to do with clever tricks like this. They prefer to compile separate executables for each and every use case. For example, most Linuxes have dir and vdir as variants of the ls command. Their functionality could have been implemented through this symlink trick, but instead there are three near-identical executables taking up space instead.)

2) Images you edited yourself has its own charm to it.
3) You get more control over whateber you create.
I hate when people say AI is just a tool like pencil, while it’s trained with billions and billions of stolen and pirated images and all one do is type in a couple prompts which is far from whatever human creativity is capable of by itself.
manxu@ubuntu:~ love
Command 'love' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install love # version 11.2+pkg-d332, or
sudo apt install love # version 11.4-1
See 'snap info love' for additional versions.
Also, we are seriously considering changing some fundamental OS features. The idea would be that function calls and features suggesting evil and otherwise pagan ideas would be changed.

And this is why Linux needs age verification! Won’t somebody please think of the children?!
Actually, maybe it would be better, if certain people thought of the children less.

I’ve got search queries on “how to kill orphaned child” or something like that. I’m sure it set off some flags.

Kudos, for not making slop using a clanker.
It’s more fun making the crappy photoshop images myself (Though I use GIMP not photoshop because fuck Adobe)
Not to mention there’s no ethical or moral concerns when making them
Other than Ethical and Moral concerns
1) AI generated images looks like shit.
2) Images you edited yourself has its own charm to it.
3) You get more control over whateber you create.

I’ve got to agree with you now that I found a good Tux image to edit.
killis a command.love,happiness, andpeaceare not commands.You can totally find
loveusing commandsudo apt install love. It’s a game engine.happinessis a Perl module insidelibdemeter-perlpackage. Let’s not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.And you can find
peacein a whole bunch of packages, it’s an icon of the peace symbol.Love (proper name LÖVE) is the game framework that Balatro uses 😉
Ha! On Ubuntu, the OS of Love, you get:
Have you heard about Our Lord and Savior: Jesux
I cannot avoid reading that as “Je-sucks”
Cue the joke about killing children with a fork.
That’s not
nicePeace was never an option.
Crazy mode activated.
All you need is kill
Sudo kill all of them.
Holy shite, you have no idea how much I adore this. Thank you.
killallwould then be “Seek and Destroy”,systemd/initis “One” and booting Windows is St. Anger: Why would you voluntarily do that to yourself?sudo dnf install love!!! Also known as the Balatro / Blue Revolver engine
on which distro does it say “whom”?
mood
you don’t need sudo to read index/package info, only to install and remove things
yeah i know its just force of habit
