I've always read it as "shit just works". Why would the "sh" be there if we weren't supposed to read it?
No, it's a comforting "sh" like "shhhhh", don't worry, it just works.
It's only one h for the double entendre.
/joking
"Yes"
Mostly both.
Sh! It just works.
It’s pronounced like it was something named in the universe of Dune: Zhid-Ghuwerst. You have to raise your eyebrows while you say it, as that’s part of the expression.
Some alternative , nerdy interpretations follow:
sh: it just works. You don't needbash,zsh,fish,tcshor anything else, just runningshwill provide a shell environment.sh: IT just works. Similar to the previous interpretation, but also stating that IT (Information Technology, which is meant to mean the IT department) just works withsh.
#!/bin/sh/itjustworks
shhhh. it just works.
Imagine a greasy old IT technician coming up to you, putting a finger on your lips and gently saying that after you gasped about the entangled mess of hundreds of Ethernet cables in the server room
sh. it's plausible deniability 🤫
Probably the latter. I've seen it abbreviated as SJW, that's unnecessary don't do that. Am I old?
I dunno, sjw is a lot shorter than shit just works
Yeah but... SJW means something else lmfao
Shit, justice works.
Shit, Jehovah's Witnesses
Savior, Jesus Wept
Why not s.j.w?
For starters, because .w is not a valid TLD, and j.w would be registered in about 50 milliseconds if it ever became one.
Shi Tju - STW orks
Hmmm. What if it's because the admin was an old school Linux user and never took to bash. "sh. it just works".
It's "S Hit Just Works" and it's the slapping car meme.
The "S" is because the car salesman has a slight lisp.
Slaps Instance this bad boy just works.
I always assumed that it was supposed to be ambiguous between them for humor purposes
Shell it just works
Shit just works - forever and always.
(shh, it just works and shit just works are both valid - the intent was the former IIRC - but the latter is obviously the superior choice. I'm also partial to sh.it.heads when referring to users [cheeky, but thought about in the same way as Deadheads for Grateful Dead fans])
Shhh... we don't ask such things around here.. it just works (tm) that way..
Why not both?
Idk but I picked the instance for the sense of humor in the name either way.
My brain pronounces it as the latter, though the extra jokes make it better.
Its:
"shhh... nothing is broken, ignore all the bugs and pretend it all just works, mm'kay?"
sh.itjust.works
Shhhhhhh... ^itjustworks^
Since DNS is hierarchical, it could be set up so that they both work.
“it just works”
The “Sh” is silent…
or at least very quiet
I always read it as
ess heych dot it just works
unacceptable
Yes
I pronounce it "this post hidden due to instance block settings".
Any reason you have blocked the instance?
The general trend of the behaviour of the userbase when it first began appearing. I'm pretty block-happy. I'm sure it's an over-generalisation but I've learned over the years that I'd rather miss out than feel constantly annoyed.
because they didn't censor the bad word?
I mean at least they've said that they blocked it, would have been awkward to try to actually respond to him and just have them never be able to see the post lmao, looking at their post history, I went ahead and blocked them as well because like I could totally see myself trying to respond to him cuz we share a lot of the same communities.
Instance blocking does not also block users
ah good point, I was under the understanding that it blocks both since that's what happens when I block an instance. I guess that's a client feature.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
