I was today years old when I learned that #sudo actually changed their logo (sudo.ws/about/logo/) because of #XKCD 149 (xkcd.com/149/).
Love it.

@michaelgemar @stdevel I want to know what the previous sudo logo looked like.

@michaelgemar @AndrewHenry @stdevel ls rm and cd are all posix specifications, with binaries pretty much always bundled and distributed as part of some coreutils package -most often gnu, but also sometimes busybox, plan9, one of the bsds, SysV, etc. The implementations dont necessarily *ahem gnu* match what posix specifies. So ls, rm, etc dont have official logos, but gnu, busybox, plan9, etc have logos

@cibo @AndrewHenry @stdevel I should have known that someone on Mastodon would have the details. Thanks!

@michaelgemar @stdevel Where do I have to sign for both TIL clubs?

@stdevel Like the logo but I'd be concerned that "sudo make me a sandwich" would result in the issuer of the command themself being turned into a sandwich.

@stdevel everytime I type "sudo" I can't help thinking of its Italian meaning: "I'm sweating".

@stdevel@chaos.social That. is one of the most hideous looking logo i have ever seen i love it

@stdevel I found out recently too, and after I posted about it here learned that the meme that both the logo and the comic refer to has a deeply misogynist history.
