No, it’s a shell feature. Terminal emulators don’t even know what shell are running typically, and I haven’t heard of them adding shell features. That would require the terminal emulator knowing you’re using bash, knowing how to interrogate history etc…

From man bash:

       yank-last-arg (M-., M-_)
              Insert  the last argument to the previous command (the last word
              of the previous history entry).  With a numeric argument, behave
              exactly  like  yank-nth-arg.   Successive calls to yank-last-arg
              move back through the history list, inserting the last word  (or
              the  word  specified  by the argument to the first call) of each
              line in turn.  Any numeric argument supplied to these successive
              calls  determines  the direction to move through the history.  A
              negative argument switches the  direction  through  the  history
              (back or forward).  The history expansion facilities are used to
              extract the last word, as if the "!$" history expansion had been
              specified.

Funny, in the US I just saw a car that was an “SS” model and I thought “Huh, apparently SS doesn’t immediately scream Nazis to Americans” (SS => Super Sport apparently, to Chevrolet)

Fewer keystrokes, more features, and the ability to see what you’re about to do explicitly. How does that make it the poor man’s option?

My entire Samsung appliance experience is one dishwasher but it was so shit that I was happy when it broke after 18 months and I will never buy another Samsung appliance. Didn’t clean things and smelled like death if we didn’t manually clean it once a week and run it empty on sanitize and never leave the door closed. Searching the internet told me it was widespread and people were considering class action lawsuits.

It looked nice though. And was quiet.

I hit the Compose key and then =/ gives ≠, but I don’t seem to be able to enter ≈. For that and more obscure characters I’d open Emacs and run insert-char.

Sorry it’s not a very direct answer but this is one of the many things that make Emacs such a comfortable environment once you’re used to it, which takes … a while.

There is a man command and then of course it’s just more text displayed so you can search and narrow and highlight etc. in the same way you do with any other text. Plus of course there are a few trivial bonuses like links to other man pages being clickable.

It’s all text and Emacs is a text manipulation framework (that naturally includes some editors).

You don’t execute C source files. They have to be compiled.

First point as someone else commented, that driver is already present in any mainstream kernel. It’s very unlikely you have any need to build it.

But if you really want to build it the command will be make that will get instructions from Makefile on how to build the driver. But there will be other tools and libraries needed.

Same. I’m a little embarrassed that I have little idea what it’s like. Last one I used daily was Windows 7. But then I wonder

how convenient it all was and how was missing so many things

What are these things I’m missing?

I feel like this is well named (run as user 0) so then I’m wondering what else you dislike and what you think would be improvements?

Yeah, the whole observation needed the adjective American.

Long so I noticed US soaps we’re all wealthy people being miserable, while British soaps were all working class people being miserable, but Australian soaps were all working-class people being happy (after resolving some minor difficult situation).

What about a lightweight variant like Lubuntu or Xubuntu? 4Gb should be usable for a lot of things.

I’m not triggered by any of this. I’m not sure why my thinking the question is inane would count as “being triggered”.

Upvotes does not necessarily mean people agree with OP’s stance.

It should mean they think it’s a useful/interesting question and I think it very much is not. It’s just someone whining that it doesn’t look like something they’re used to and a bunch of very patient people generously leading them through the very basics of the language that’s well covered in many introductory tutorials - as such it makes it all a waste of time and worthy of being buried.

The more time I spend on Lemmy the more depressed I am about its potential.

Stupid, wrong-headed comments get solid upvotes if they also hint at some popular sentiment. I even see comments that are literally unreadable nonsense get solidly upvoted, either by bots or by people who just like the vibe they feel from scanning it and don’t care that it’s gobbledygook. Some content makes me wonder if half of Lemmy is just LLMs barfing back and forth at each other.

Then this post is heavily upvoted, even though it’s nothing more than “the syntax isn’t the same as the other language(s) I have seen, waaaaa!”. Is it just people like to see Go criticized? Because there are actual real issues that could be discussed.

We can’t imagine anything but unfettered capitalism, so onward we go to our own destruction!

But our ignorant misconceptions are ubiquitous so they have become truth!

What problems with AMD Ryzen? I’ve been happy with them, except one that had excessive power drain on suspend.

Really.

AFAIK the ID law is a consequence of a centuries-old right that you cannot be required to identify yourself if you’re doing nothing wrong, and then even if you did do something wrong, you still can’t be required to have brought ID with you since it’s likely you didn’t set out knowing you’d be doing that today.

But the surveillance/camera thing is recent, when rights of ordinary people apparently are less fashionable.

You know I said UK but this is exactly the sort of law that tends to be different in NI.
