I've got search queries on "how to kill orphaned child" or something like that. I'm sure it set off some flags.

How helpful
bash kill output:
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
fish kill output:
kill: not enough arguments
With fish, you just need to fight more to earn that kill.
touch pp
unzip; touch; strip; finger; mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount; sleep
touch cat
bash cat
man date
man mount
That caught me off guard
And this is why Linux needs age verification! Won't somebody please think of the children?!
Actually, maybe it would be better, if certain people thought of the children less.
More is less.
kill is a command.
love, happiness, and peace are not commands.
You can totally find love using command sudo apt install love. It's a game engine.
happiness is a Perl module inside libdemeter-perl package. Let's not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.
And you can find peace in a whole bunch of packages, it's an icon of the peace symbol.
Peace was never an option.
Crazy mode activated.

We can get them for you wholesale.
Have you heard about Our Lord and Savior: Jesux
Also, we are seriously considering changing some fundamental OS features. The idea would be that function calls and features suggesting evil and otherwise pagan ideas would be changed.

I kind of want to go back in time and make it so that the original yes always printed the first letter of the name it was called by. That way you could symlink any name you like to it and it would do the right thing. Called as no it would print ns, etc. The optional parameter would still be there for longer strings or alternate uses.
The reason time travel would be needed is that there's bound to be, or have been, someone who has done something weird regarding symlinking yes that relies on it always printing y when it has no parameter, and the name trick would be a breaking change.
Or make your own package? call it affirm (more wholesome), write it in Rust (of course), and take on yes.

All you need is kill
Ha! On Ubuntu, the OS of Love, you get:
manxu@ubuntu:~ love
Command 'love' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install love # version 11.2+pkg-d332, or
sudo apt install love # version 11.4-1
See 'snap info love' for additional versions.
