For anyone wondering, this is basically a young millennial / gen z meme. The emoji is usually pronounced "pwease", as in a childlike pronunciation of "please" Therefore the command is basically just asking very nicely, hoping to get one's way edit. source: dude just trust me

A appreciate you 'describing' the emoji for me.

I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =(

Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.

This tool canonically has no pronunciation and any attempt to give it one is non-canon. It is a child of the Internet.

tell that to the gif guy

For some more serious alternatives, I have heard of many people finding doas to be a drop in replacement. Furthermore, I've heard some people suggest neither doas nor sudo, but instead using an SSH server to gain root access to your local machine. It could listen on localhost and use key-based auth to allow root logins...

The actual title is supposed to be "🥺: the best sudo replacement", but I'm not surprised that Hacker News stripped the emoji.

I've put it back for you. HN is plain-text-obsessive by design but occasional exceptions make life interesting.

The ironic part is that I didn't break any RSS readers! I broke URL parsers in chat apps, scp, and for command line arguments to `tailscale serve`.

my favorite way to plumb an old / unmaintained program or workflow is to put some emoji in as an input parameter, and see where the logs start exploding

I have more trouble interpreting emojis then I do emotions. God help me.

I end up hovering a lot on slack to find out the translation. And thankfully Siri reads them out loud to me when I have my airpods in.
