That's unmaintained pay-respects is a maintained replacement.
Sync (which does have messed up formatting lol
Yeah that looks like an issue with their markdown rendering. I tried to look how they render markdown, but sync is closed source :(
As far as I know, <link> is valid markdown syntax and supported by the official Lemmy UI.

Seems like something I'd make around the 4th no sleep day. Nice.
The amount of times I've spent 3-4 days to write a script that will save me a total of maybe 2hours of my time over a lifetime of use.
A core memory
I forgot this existed

alias cp='rm -rf'
[ $[ $RANDOM % 6] = 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo "Click"
Some people want to watch the world burn.
In order to improve your accuracy might I suggest:
alias i='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias s='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias sl='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias ll='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
...
Etcetera. It will make sure you are punished for typos
Make sure to do
alias i='echo <password> | sudo -S rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
For maximum damage, even when you're not root!
You can pry my Steam Locomotive from my cold dead hands!
But how would you run sl, the steam locomotive?
I know you're joking but:
\sl or command sl.
I'd say "check your shell documentation" but they're both almost impossible to search for. They both work in Bash. Both skip aliases and shell functions and go straight to shell builtins or things in the $PATH.
There's also /usr/bin/sl but you knew that.

Mint comes with dir aliased for ls, and the only other one I regularly use is cls for clear.
Yes I grew up on DOS, how can you tell?

On the off chance someone here is an R user, there's the fcuk package: https://thinkr-open.github.io/fcuk/articles/fcuk.html
I've done similar before and was still blown away by the bad data.
Somewhat unrelated, but still a hell of a story in the power of human input into data...
Working in the healthcare industry during COVID, federal law had 18,000 of our employees required to submit proof of vaccination to continue working in our hospitals and clinics. All they had to do was get their vaccination certificate PDF off the government website, type in their staff number, and upload the form, we then submit this information as the employer to confirm that these people do indeed work for us and are safe to continue doing so.
56% managed to do it. The rest were all sorts of shit. Most common were people that took photos of their computer screen, converted the photo to PDF, and uploaded that. Next most common was people print the PDF, scan it, then upload the scan PDF.
We had thought of everything to make a simple download then upload as easy as possible, including a 3 step video, and yet they went above and beyond in unimaginable ways. The people that genuinely didn't know what to do hit the support link so they could be guided through it and did things perfectly in a couple minsβthe self-confessed computer illiterate people were not a problem at all.
Thanks to training a form detection bot, I got it down to under 2000 remaining in a day, and the looming threat of "You have to do this or we can't legally give you work and pay you until you do" quickly sorted out the rest.
People will ALWAYS fuck things up in ways you've never thought of before. Reading the short, clear, and user friendly instructions for the simple job doesn't work and they'll get angry that something went wrong, every fucking time.
