plan 9 cat vs GNU longcat meme

edit: reddit image linking is broken?

[–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Well, the GNU version does more and is more documented. The Plan9 code is frankly shitC, even for 1980z

But this monstrosity is something else

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Plan 9 does the job. GNU is better for the end user. But if I had to maintain that stuff I would definitely want to maintain the Plan 9 code and not the GNU code.

Of course, not always is shorter better.

reddit image linking is broken?

Well you didn't link to a reddit image, you linked to Google image search result page which is not an image.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I did that because the image didn't show in reddt.

[–] rhpp@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Looks like you need to insert the raw image link, not Reddit's media wrapper link.

Oh, so it's only my browser setup that doesn't show it.
