CTRL+M is like pressing ENTER. Kernigan & Pike, 1984: UNIX Programming Enviornment

RETURN is an example of a control character — an invisible character that controls some aspect of input and output on the terminal. On any reasonable terminal, RETURN has a key of its own, but most control characters do not. Instead, they must be typed by holding down the CONTROL key, sometimes called CTL or CNTL or CTRL, then pressing another key, usually a letter. For example, RETURN may be typed by pressing the RETURN key or, equivalently, holding down the CONTROL key and typing an ‘m’. RETURN might therefore be called a control-m, which we will write as ctl-m.

Best practice is not to use raw credentials on the command line because it exposes them in process listings and shell history files.

Knee-jerk jingoism, just how the security state likes it.

They’re just working class people trying to get by in a shitty bourgeois democracy, just like us. They have as much say in what the state does as we do, which is almost none.

You’re just making it worse 😂 You really have no idea what’s going on in the real world outside of the imperial core, and you’re really sure you do.

Western chauvinism:

the imperial core == the rest of the world

You may not have noticed that most of the world is ignoring the international rules-based order’s sanctions. And not only almost all of the Global South, which represents ~85% of the world’s people and the bulk of the world’s production* and natural resources. Even many Global North countries are skirting their own sanctions to trade with Russia.

The Global North is largely sanctioning itself, and Europe is paying a very high price for it. In particular high energy prices, which is eroding their industrial base even more.

*Since the Global North in its infinite wisdom de-industrialized itself.
