Multiplexer

I guess this also must be an additional layer of hellfire for dyslexics...

Do you not tab-complete your commands?

Sure I do (although nowadays Strg-r does most of the heavy lifting for me), but as a decent touch-typist I am often faster directly typing short commands, like passwor... damn, I mean: passwd ;-)

Ok, I searched the term Chipocalypse and found a bunch of trustworthy news sites stating it is real.

What. The. Fuck.

This is so unhingened that I am completely lost just now.

l have already seen this under another post and decided for myself that this is definitely some satirical fake because completely absurd on so many levels.

Please tell me that I've been right...?

You might be right.
I am German and never had a problem with pwd... The "double-you" certainly breaks some easy phonetic connections you would otherwise just make...

Seehund. Definitiv Seehund!

Wir wollen schließlich hier absolut keine unglücklichen Verwechslungen mit dem deutschen Musikgeschäft riskieren!

But the only command that I have to look up every damn time, although it has no abbreviation at all, is useradd.
Oh no, wait, I mean adduser!
... No, wait again... aah...

Now this looks like an interesting read. Thanks!

On a side note:
I hate it that the password-change command is minimally abbreviated to "passwd".
Come on, making it much more complicated to remember and saving just two freakin letters??

Great.
Next stage in the enshitification-process. 😒
