>"sudo was initially released: circa 1980"
Random sidenote, today I learned that not only does sudo have a logo, it's in direct reference to a classic xkcd strip.
They're also aknowledging that it already existed... It's new to windows. I don't like them either but you don't need to actively look for shit to be upset at them over.
I was poking fun at MS for promoting a new feature which has existed on other platforms since the early 80s and should have had a Windows equivalent ages ago.
I'm curious, what part of my comment makes you think I'm upset? I genuinely don't know how you came to that conclusion, and if I do come off as upset for making a joke I'd like to avoid that in the future.
