- Microsoft be like  
- *stares at URL* - I think I’m starting to recognize that link - I see you’re no stranger to love - Obviously, you know the rules and so do I 
 
- In germany we don’t open this link, we say “XcQ der Link bleibt zu.” and i think it’s beautiful. - XcQ the link stays blue 
 
- As I wander through the desolate wastes of this once-great land, surrounded by the ruins of structures grand enough to have been constructed by the gods themselves, I am constantly haunted by the glare of the despot responsible for it all. His gaze stares down upon me as though reaching inside my soul to condemn my rebellious heart. - Despite the untold lives he has ruined, my conditioning is so strong that I am compelled to drop to my knees and shout, “Oh, Mighty One! You will never give us up, you will never let me down, you will never hurt me.” - But as I stand in the middle of a desert with nobody to hear my cries, I know deep down that he has indeed let me down. Still, the conditioning is too strong. We are strangers to love, and you know the rules—so do I. I wouldn’t get this from any other guy. The cult would never accept me back if I were to renounce my faith. - With all that in mind, I wander into the desert, knowing there’s no water for miles, promising I’m never gonna run around. 
- It’s a recent thing for me. I think XQC (think that’s a streamer) and the end of this link is XcQ with an upper case W just before. I don’t think I’ll never not notice now. - I always heard “if it’s XcQ, the link stays blue” - I remember the video code by its start and end; - dQ..cQ
- “I see you XcQ” or “XcQ I see you”. It’s not the best mnemonic but it has served me well 
 
 
- gXcQ? - Not for you. 
 
- No dev would take a picture of the screen instead of making a screenshot - But what if something pulls a Netflix and blacks out the window when you try to screenshot. The sanctity of the screenshot is ruined, take more pictures. 
- That’s part of the curse 
 
- Don’t you fucking put that anywhere Microsoft might see. They’ll do it. 
- If you are opening a text shell on windows you deserve it. Wsl should just send you to a gulag instead. 
- First I have to drink a verification can, and now this??!! - Don’t forget to stand up and say MCDONALD’S. 
 
- And now it’s time to secure erase your SSD before it sees the light of day 
- I think - mplayerhas an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe- youtube-dlcan output to stdout.- The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader. - That’s a strange way to get rickrolled 
 
- My colleagues have fancy terminal applications with fancy backgrounds, so I thought the reflection was a cool frosted glass transparency effect, at first. - And with the amount of memes being sent across throughout the day, I reckon if it were silly videos, they would eat that up. - Also : watch a video while that command runs? “Fuck yeah”, they’d say! 
- I know that URL. 
- XcQ - Exactly 
 
- When I said that Microsoft has a lot to learn from Linux, Ubuntu Server is not what I had in mind 😂 
- . . . so, anyway, that’s how I became radicalized. 
- people who take camera pictures of their screen instead of doing a proper screenshot should not call themselves developers - I prefer copying the text on the terminal and pasting it, due to most platforms using jpeg compression on png uploads, making written text worse. 
 
- Never gonna try that up.
