      $ yes n
n

n
...

      I kind of want to go back in time and make it so that the original yes always printed the first letter of the name it was called by. That way you could symlink any name you like to it and it would do the right thing. Called as no it would print ns, etc. The optional parameter would still be there for longer strings or alternate uses.

      The reason time travel would be needed is that there’s bound to be, or have been, someone who has done something weird regarding symlinking yes that relies on it always printing y when it has no parameter, and the name trick would be a breaking change.

    kill is a command.

    love, happiness, and peace are not commands.

    You can totally find love using command sudo apt install love. It’s a game engine.

    happiness is a Perl module inside libdemeter-perl package. Let’s not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.

    And you can find peace in a whole bunch of packages, it’s an icon of the peace symbol.

    I’ve got search queries on “how to kill orphaned child” or something like that. I’m sure it set off some flags.
