Response to a recent claim that Ctrl+D in the terminal is like pressing Enter. It kind of is but it’s also misleading to say so without further explanation.

I don’t get the reference. This is the first time I’ve read that claim. But I’d certainly hope people know there is a difference between End Of Line and End Of File… I mean they’re alike, they both end something. But it’s not the same thing. The article explains the details how it’s handled.
Yeah, my bad. I should have linked to the previous post: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/32637183 (not entirely sure what’s the etiquette for linking to posts on Lemmy is).
Right, I must have scrolled past it. I think linking posts is fine. I mean they’re public and this is social media… At least I do it somewhat regularly and I’ve never had anyone complain.
I meant what’s the link to use since the same Lemmy post can be viewed through different instances and on each it has a different URL. It’s a bit user-hostile that the link gets you out of your instance (unless you’re on the same instance as author of the post).
That’s right. I don’t think there is a good way to do it. I just take whatever link is provided by the small Fediverse icon. But I don’t think it matters that much for your audience, they’re spread over several instances and it’ll be an external link for some of them, no matter what you do. I’m not sure whether we have the ambition to solve this. I don’t see anything the user could do. Either this gets handled in some way by the software, or it is how it is.
