    That is the “royal” part

    But it’s not.

    We, the king, say this with all authority - the “royal we” is used when one wants to say “I” but make it sound more grandiose and important.

    What the woman in the OP describes is the “patronising we”. Yes, it’s also a nosism, but it’s very much not the “royal we”.

    but you’re denying history by saying the soviets didnt win the war

    I’m stating facts. Soviets didn’t win the war on their own. They’d be rolled over if not for UK/US help. Berlin would’ve been taken by the Allies even if the Soviets were sitting on their asses.

    The victory in Stalingrad and the pushing of Nazis to the west happened well before the opening of the western front by the USA. You’re literally lying here.

    When did Lend-Lease start?

    When did the Battle for Britain start?

    Who supplied the resistance movements in occupied countries?

    [everything else] Literal Nazi propaganda

    I guess my grandmother was a Nazi propagandist.

    EOT, I don’t have time to talk to russian-brainwashed people.

    The fact that you’re even questioning that the USSR defeated Nazism proves that you have no idea what you’re talking about. 80% of dead Nazi soldiers were thanks to the eastern front. 25 million Soviet lives were eliminated in the struggle against fascism.

    Buddy, who supplied the half the rifles and 90% of ammo that the ruskies used on the Eastern Front? Who supplied the fuel, trucks and tires? Who supplied the food, and even the fucking uniforms?

    And who opened the second front, forcing Nazis to divide and defend on two sides, allowing USSR to actually start pushing back?

    Oh no, the atrocities of universal healthcare, free education to the highest level, industrialization, guaranteed employment and the abolishment of homelessness

    You mean the atrocities of political purges, the elimination of intelligentsia and military officers, the russification, the brainwashing, the poverty, the mismanagement, the hunger and millions dead?

    There is no peace with Nazis, they only understand genocide and invasion.

    You know what? Looking at russia right now, I retract my previous statement and have to agree with you here.

    I didn’t say the word “Russians” in my previous comment. I mentioned the USSR

    USSR == russia, but slightly larger, but relatively the same on the “shit-stain of the world” scale.

    Have some respect for all the brave soldiers who fought so that you can spew bullshit online today

    I have respect to the soldiers who fought. I don’t have respect to those that raped and pillaged the entire way to Berlin. Unfortunately, the first group was considerably smaller than the second.

    Good luck debating Nazis

    Who said anything about debating?

    The USSR famously defeated them

    LOL, good one! :D

    BTW, you can thank them for being alive today if you’re European.

    I’m from one of the countries that suffered massive atrocities under the bastards.

    I suppose you decry the violence that the USA exerted on Nazi Germany?

    I suppose you don’t understand the difference between war and peace? Actually makes sense considering the bullshit you’re saying about russians…




  • Is it weird to explain the reason why something is as it is? If you were already aware of it then it shouldn’t be as baffling.

    Imagine this conversation:

    OP: Hi guys, I’m looking for yellow tomatoes, do you know where can I get them?

    You: Well, tomatoes are usually red because of [valid biological reason].

    You see how weird that is?

    There are also modern terminals and shells that do things the way you expect in a more convenient way, but maybe you also know this

    Clearly, neither me nor the OP know this. If that wasn’t the case, I would’ve provided OP with an answer to the question they posted!

    OP mentioned powershell, he just use that (pwsh) in Linux

    PowerShell still runs inside a terminal emulator (e.g. Fish), so it changes nothing in the input/output behaviour.

    personally I haven’t tried the more GUI-friendly terminals

    “GUI-friendly terminals”? What does that mean, in the context of the conversation?

    Why are you talking about GUI?






  • The CMD “terminal” in Windows, for instance, don’t behave anywhere close to the rest of the system with regard to cp/paste

    Do I need to record a screencap from conhost.exe for you to believe me when I say you’re wrong?

    tab completion, etc.

    Where did that come from? I never said anything about tab completion or “etc”. I was talking specifically about Ctrl/Shift combinations with arrows/backspace/home/end, and such.

    Terminals are used for more than installing packages and editing files. If I login to the old solaris boxes at work via serial console and all the key bindings are fucked, I’m not getting the job done. I and most of my contemporaries rely on the way VT 100 terminal emulators work, which is why we can’t use kitty, alacrity, etc.

    Did you even read what I wrote? I said that there should be an option to switch between “modern” and “classic” keybinds. With the default being set to “classic” everywhere, how exactly would that cause any problems for you?

    If you want that “consistency”, use one of those terminal emulators that allows these behaviours.

    Mate, are you high? That’s what the OP is asking for. Do you know any such terminal emulators? Post some names!

    The thing is that vi and emacs have existed since long before those other new editors came around.

    What a weird thing to say… So what that they existed before? Who cares?

    Ctrl/Shift modifiers work in a very consistent way in the entirety of Windows, most of Mac, and… everywhere in Linux except the terminal.

    It boggles my mind that there isn’t a simple switch to toggle between “classic” and “modern” style for keybinds.
