Wake Up...

Out of context and no references, which makes it harder, but:
CGOC = Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony
MM = probably Maintenance Mode, but context is important
LLM = Large Language Model (that's now a 'well-known')
I couldn't find as many examples as I thought there were
Ha!

And, just to annoy BH (Black Hole), AFAIA = As far as I'm aware.
 
I only went back about one year when I lost the will to live and I managed to close the search tab by accident.
Very difficult to instigate a search that goes "find posts by prpr where there are abbreviations".
(It was meant as a semi-humorous aside - I did say I could search and find the abbreviations you used. Unlike "GD". Who knew?)
 
Favourite one here on hummy.tv is IIRC, as it is a CYA for grey matter recall issues.

IIRC = If I recall correctly
CYA = Cover your ar$e

:lol:

That seems well beyond the call of duty. I think I'd have lost the will long before that, and I wrote the damned stuff!

RMV = Recollections may vary = He's spouting bull$h!t but we're too polite to actually say that

Some of it is useful, except not for me. Linux/Grep etc. even the "one-liner". Not much use without either Linux running on a PC or CF (Really! I don't need to explain these, do I?)
I got the one-liner to work in a Cygwin64 window in Win 11. I suppose it can be useful to know when the certificate is running out.

A couple of times I've had to abort the message I was typing. Keeping schtum (or is it shtum, or even stum?) seems like a better idea.
 
For the record, I wasn't addressing the RMV one to anyone here, just in case anyone thought I was. It was used by HMQ about certain emigrants (and now about to be immigrants, sadly).

You can use the weird WSL (Windows Sub-system for Linux) thing, or you can get a reasonably decent environment for some things just by installing Git for 'doze and then opening a Bash shell.

With only a small system disk and the subsystem requiring several GB of space I decided to give it a miss. I'm sure I've installed Git, but never investigated a Bash shell. Something to add to the todo list.

Edit: Yes, it works!

It always amused (and annoyed) me that in "The Joy of Painting" Bob Ross referred to "painting the foots" of trees. In the context of the programme I think he was referring to the bits of tree, that might be part of the root, at the base of the tree that are above the surface. Foots just doesn't sound right.
