Still using these obsolete Linux commands? They might be popular from the olden days but perhaps it is time to look for alternatives.

I suspect at least some AI was used in the creation of the article, since it feels like exactly the kind of hallucination an AI would make with the utmost confidence, after fixating on some out of context upvoted post from some potentially ignorant forum-user, but honestly the flood of incorrect slop is so common nowadays it doesn't even feel worth pitchforking or pointing out anymore. I just fact-check and move on with my life.
