For those who don't know the image source, it's from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

I'm going to refer you to a wizard

When you're going up against Adolf Hitler and need to travel back in time, it's the right equipment for the job.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I thought a bazooka was the preferred weapon for that.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Adolf Hitler? Ive heard of that guy!

If anyone's curious as to whether this scene was considered cringy when the movie came out, yes. Yes, it was.

It's the power glove that really gets me. It's so bad.

I put an optical drive in my PC recently, and I've been giggling like an idiot typing "eject" and "eject -t" into the terminal. Terminal commands that do something physical in the world delight me.

It feels magical to run systemctl shutdown now to my laptop through SSH and seeing my laptop turn off without touching it

I'm so old that when I started there wasn't any choice. It was command line or go outside!

me at the ripe age of 12 discovering i could type firefox and it would open firefox

so uhm i use a window manager now

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago

Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??

[-] j4k3@piefed.world 11 points 3 months ago

This guy uses the find command

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)
[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

If you’re not using find with the -exec grep syntax, then I don’t know what to tell you.

When I use the CLI to launch an application it's because it's crashing

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Sounds like some of you need to get hacked back in time!

[-] ian@feddit.uk 8 points 3 months ago

What, no black hoodie? I thought all hackers had to wear a hoodie to hack

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 months ago

These kids and their hoodies. Everybody knows that hackers look like this.

I need to watch this again

[-] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

I don't use the termulator for opening apps that can bepened through GUI simply because the termulator has to stay open and that clutters the taskbar.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 3 months ago

Was the video made in Australia or New Zealand by any chance? There are two Microbees (Z80-based computers from New Zealand, virtually unheard of in the northern hemisphere) in the photo,

[-] onlyhalfminotaur@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Oh man, I haven't thought about Kung Fury since seeing it in a double feature with Turbo Kid when it came out. Thank you.
