It's doubly fake. The original has a frog.

I just dabble on some self hosted shit on Debian once in a blue moon and I never understood the difference between apt argument and apt-get argument

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This is explained in the apt man page:

The apt(8) commandline is designed as an end-user tool and it may change behavior between versions. While it tries not to break backward compatibility this is not guaranteed either if a change seems beneficial for interactive use.

All features of apt(8) are available in dedicated APT tools like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8) as well. apt(8) just changes the default value of some options (see apt.conf(5) and specifically the Binary scope). So you should prefer using these commands (potentially with some additional options enabled) in your scripts as they keep backward compatibility as much as possible

What are the odds that his name would be Bruce Landlord? He was born for this!

To be fair, I've stored people in my contacts like this if I did not know their last name. Dan Bugguy, wherever you are, hope life's been treating you well.

That's also the exact way surnames first appeared and evolved, as well. Which goes back a loooong way. Even the Romans with three names usually had one (the last) as a descriptor of sorts.

Correct. The first "John Fletcher" would have actually been a fletcher. And then he may have named his son "Paul John's son", shortening to "Paul Johnson".
