minus-squaredebil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7か月前No, but you’re just typing if and of, not infile and outfile, and the letters are right next to each other on a qwerty kbd. One can haphazardly misuse a lot of commands, it’s just that some commands may lead to nastier outcomes than others.
minus-squareftbd@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7か月前I never had any problems with cp either. But the post makes it seem like dd is somehow more error prone, which makes no sense to me
