me: okay i helped out some people in a support channel today! feel good, now i cna just chill out and
some people: hey just like fifty more questions pls
me: Uuuuuuuu

i really hate saying things like this but like holy shit please do not ask me what the "-u" in "sudo su -u" does im not manpages

@boots boots can you tell me what specific subset of unicode characters is valid in javascript variable names

@typhlosion it depends on if it's the first character or one after the first because while the first character can be

$, _, or any unicode character in categories Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm, Lo, Nl

... characters after that also allow zwnj characters, zwj characters, unicode characters in categories: Mn, Mc, Nd or Pc

@boots oh thank you

i just meant that as, like, one of those fifty questions but maybe something you'd actually find interesting

@typhlosion honestly my explanation was mostly copied from this, a way better guide on it which includes a verifier
mathiasbynens.be/notes/javascr

@boots why are they even doing sudo su
can't they just sudo -i
didn't we go over this already

@typhlosion because the person who wrote the only script that easily allows people to do the thing *everyone wants to do* didn't write it for other people

it uses kdesu!!! aaaa!!

@typhlosion also, the scripts only exist to run a pre-installed setup
there's no actual way to install the system required with a script and people have to be manually guided through it

@typhlosion thankfully, the person who wrote the kde-only hellscripts *did* provide a tutorial video for install so i'm probably only getting the offrun
