For more than four decades, typing a password after a sudo prompt in a Linux terminal
What?!
2026 minus 46 is 1980. There was no Linux, at all, in 1980.
Someone is quite confused.
- throawayonthe 7mo agosudo is from 1980, that's probably what they meant https://www.sudo.ws/about/history/ https://www.sudo.ws/about/history/
- b112 7mo agoNo, they simply don't understand the history of the very thing they report on. If you look at the quoted text, they easily could have said 'Unix" terminal. They also repeatedly talk about a 'half century' of Linux terminals in other parts of the article. This site seems to cater to Linux specifically in many respects, so it's quite reasonable to call them out on super-simple stuff.
