minus-squarestevedice@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 天前It’s a joke. Nobody switching to Linux would organically encounter dd. There’s like a million friendlier alternatives for everything it does. (I swear to God if someone replies to me with 1 niche use case of dd that there’s no alternative to, I’m gonna kick a dog into the sun)
