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.
When I use the CLI to launch an application it’s because it’s crashing
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.
Just looked up Kung Fury 2 status yesterday. Still in limbo, but a 10 min sizzle reel leaked last year:

Oooh, hadn’t seen that, I’ll be giving it a watch today! Thanks!
I was recently debugging something with the Junior on my team and told him to install Bruno to make a few API calls. He installed it, but then couldn’t find an icon for the Program anywhere (and obviously the Win11 Search bar was only delivering useless results). So I told him to just type “bruno” into his terminal and see what happens. It actually opened the program! I have never felt this smart before!
Ha, sounds like an eye opening moment for the junior dev!
Me typing code ./
I never noticed but it feels like that’s “Cool Retro Term (CRT)” running that amber interface in the background there.
I’d be willing to guess it, anyway. :D
Is that a Nintendo power glove?
If anyone’s curious as to whether this scene was considered cringy when the movie came out, yes. Yes, it was.
As a 10 year old, this was the best movie I’d ever seen. I watched it again a few years ago, and realised I’d somehow failed to clock that the whole thing is one huge, expensive advert for Nintendo.
But it was still great.
I was 13 when it came out, and I knew it was an ad for Nintendo, but I didn’t care. It was exceedingly rare to see video games focused on like this in a movie and I really liked it! Even today, it’s cheesy, but not a bad movie.
It’s so bad.
Yeah, badass.
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.
You mean the Kung Führer?
Adolf Hitler? Ive heard of that guy!
I thought a bazooka was the preferred weapon for that.
Yup!

I’m so old that when I started there wasn’t any choice. It was command line or go outside!
I started working as a professional programmer in 1995. From the outset, I was pitching to clients how a GUI (thanks, Visual Basic 3!) would be so much easier for their employees to use than a command prompt. I find it very interesting how command prompts are still around 30 years later. I’m way more amazed by the continued existence of vinyl LPs, however.
LOADM "CASHMAN" EXECI’m not that old but old enough that if we wanted to play Keen or Secret Agent Sam or Cosmo we had to boot into MS-DOS mode and run it from a floppy drive. Don’t remember if it was Win 95 or 98.
What do you mean bad 80s action movies?
This is literally Hackerman from kung Fury.

Well that explains the dinosaurs
me at the ripe age of 12 discovering i could type
firefoxand it would open firefoxso uhm i use a window manager now
This guy uses the find command
find | grep🤯
which findIf you’re not using find with the -exec grep syntax, then I don’t know what to tell you.
what about fd
cat file | grep
This guy looks like the villain from despicable me 3
He is actually the greatest hacker of all time
God I forgot about that movie … and the most glorious song of all time
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.
Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??
