I don't understand the language used in this article. It skirts around the details, which are obviously, "tell the user to run a command and hope they do it", and it talks about a "hardcoded BAT file". Wat.
A few years ago I played a game called Spelltower, but it stopped working. I also played about 15 minutes of Carmageddon before losing interest one time.
Haven't played a game on my phone since, though. I think it's a frustrating experience trying to play anything on a device like a phone.
But someone offered it $100 for a six pack of Bru and it declined, and they're taking this as a hilarious failure, because a real human would be a real scumbag and take the cash pretending it was the right amount. So it's not capitalist-level evil yet.
I would imagine they've at least talked about trying get people to enter credit card details. I know that's been pushed before, as early as the 2000s, for age verification on some sites.

shift
cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*"

This lets you run git cd to go to the root of your repo, or git cd foo/bar to go to a path relative to that root. You can't do it as an alias because it's conditional, and you can't do it as a git-cd command because that wouldn't affect the current shell.
Is that an iOS app? I've searched and found references to "control center" for multiple OS. I have no idea what phone or OS is shown in the picture and can't guess by the comments, because I don't know how many meta levels of snark are involved!
It's not important that it only dates back a few decades. At one point, all supernatural belief systems only dated back a few decades, and look how they proliferate.
When I was at school, the kids would say, "my dad's shed is bigger than your dad's shed". But that was a long time ago, and we each had a child's view of the world. Most of us grew up.
