Yes, "wantonly" is spelled correctly here. I looked at it and immediately it felt wrong so this is for any like me who's only ever heard it said.

Also, broke my Codium install today, no idea how but it won't load debug values now, woo.

Ngl I always assumed it had a racist origin

Surprisingly wanton and wonton are completely unrelated. Wanton comes from middle english wantowen, which is the prefix wan- (meaning ‘not’) and towen (meaning ‘educated’). So it literally means ‘uneducated’ or ‘undisciplined’.

Wantonly sounds like a place, like Wantonly Michigan or something like that.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
