I feel like this article was farted out by AI and just barely checked by the intern before posting.

Is this a thing now? AI turning manpages into articles? Just great, I hate it.

And why isn't this downvoted into oblivion?

People really love reinventing the wheel

I just checked this out with GPT 3.5, it does indeed look similar to what is in the article

Great resource, but the last 10 or so were just re-worded examples of what was already demonstrated.

I love wget.

As a Linux noob, I think this is so cool!

[-] potpie@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Okay but when speaking do we call it "dubs-get" or no?

[-] Imhotep@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If your download gets interrupted, you can continue it using the ‘-c’ option.

This should be the default (or maybe it is already?)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
