Yep.
This is why we can’t have fun things.
Yeah, as much as this is a joke it’s completely unacceptable in a widely used tool.
All hail the corporate overlords I guess
reminds me of this time I was joking with a coworker about names, her name was Anitta. She told me that she had a boyfriend in college but she broke it off when he propossed to her and got upset when she said that she would not take his last name.
She was never going to be Anitta Mann
Shame it got removed…
I thought they just fixed it in the particular case of
man -w?It was removed completely soon after: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/406169/383346
After some reflection, I’ve removed this Easter egg. It’ll be gone in the upcoming man-db 2.8.0.
I’m glad that it made some people smile, which after all was the whole purpose of it, and my Twitter notifications and so on today suggest that most people thought it was more amusing than annoying. Still, some people did find it annoying, and six years seems like a pretty good run for that sort of thing; it probably isn’t going to get significantly better exposure than it already unexpectedly has by way of this question. Time to put it to bed.
ok that’s a pretty fair decision
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this, even though statistically, I run it after midnight 86399/86400 of the time.
It’s to chase the shadows away.
That was a fun read
Woah, a wild marnanel has been sighted
