plan 9 cat vs GNU longcat meme

edit: reddit image linking is broken?

[–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year 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

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] rhpp@programming.dev 3 points 1 year 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.
