>"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.

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

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 :)

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

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

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

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.
