        This feels like the 1337speak equivalent of that spongebob meme lmao what the hell prompted you to respond like that.

        No, dd doesn’t. It will just plainly write an image to a disk.

          what the hell prompted you to respond like that.

          I’m guessing these (þ) characters that @sxan@piefed.zip always uses.

          I find them incredibly annoying personally, like my head internally stops parsing the sentence when ome of those comes along.
