From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

at least output dmesg or get htop on the screen or something. you could find it on the internet if you look up commands to look like a hacker and thats not even 30 seconds of effort. i wonder how many other professions cringe at the shitty tv shows about their craft.

I'm sure there's a community for nonsense TV/film hacking/Linux screens. I can't remember what it's called.

I don't know if equivalent exists on fediverse, but r/itsaunixsystem is available on $that_other_platform.

Heresy indeed. The Codex does not support this shell.

I've told the wife I can't watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can't stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens

The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:

shred -uz /*

Only show I've seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.

Bones shows an "Amiga", that looks suspiciously like an IBM PC-AT complete with 5.25” floppy playing Doom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s not an Amiga, looks more like an old grubby fvwm or dec osf1 with uuhhh what was that window manager again?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The OP screenshot is from the TV series "Criminal Minds". My comment is about a TV series "Bones".

The UI in the OP screenshot looks like an X11 window manager from the mid to late 1990's.
