20 year old are dumb as shit, you couldn't explain anything to me when I was 20 because I already knew everything.

A subject matter expert in some obscure government office might not be able to dumb it down well enough in 15 minutes especially if they have no idea who their audience is ahead of time.

Have some empathy.

I won't argue about immigration here because I don't want to get mired in that shit, but what is common sense about denying the existence of climate change and attempting to destroy/reverse our progress as a nation against it, and further engaging in activities to make it worse rather than alleviate it?

What is common sense about sewing chaos in the federal government, inhibiting it's ability to function? In removing datasets that help us keep track of how effective our actions are?

Has anyone asked it yet what happened on Tiananmen Square in 1989?

I asked it on my local Qwen 32B distilled version, and it duly obliged, very similar to the wikipedia entry.

”Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

Firefox has better UX than any other alternative.

Chrome feels too shallow.

What do you mean by shallow?

The pics are VERY difficult to read

Sorry about that! I hand-wrote the whole post on my tablet. More motivation for me to write more legibly next time!

Hi bhoot,

you have a section on "cp", where you note plain "cp" copies the contents of the linked-to file.

there also is an option "cp --archive" which copies the symlink as such.

also someone else pointed out you may want to add

    man 7 inode
    man 7 symlink
    man 7 path_resolution

There is also "cp -P".

My purpose for the I/O sub-section was only to have a convenient logic of memorising how I/O operations work on soft links by default. Memorising techniques don't really gun for technical accuracy. However, I have struck it out because the logic is also blatantly inaccurate and has been rightly called out here.
