big middle finger to the universe, but especially to the colleague who made my bones hurt by pointing out that the `z` in `tar -xvzf` hasn’t been needed since version tar 1.15, released in 2004.
@april I'm going to keep using -z anyway. -xzf means, to me, with a bad French accent "extract zee file".
@sgillies we are the cultured few
@sgillies @april …and if you’re like me and like tar’s verbose mode, you remember it as “xtract zee vucking files”…
