  • As far as I know, magic doesn’t exist, so words are incapable of action & can’t actually kill anyone. A person who commits suicide chooses it & takes action to perform it. They are responsible for their suicide even if another person tells them & hands them a weapon.

    These are merely words on a screen lacking force to compel. There’s no intent or likelihood to incite imminent, lawless action. Readers have agency & plenty of time to think words through & reject ideas.

    It’s hardly any different than an oblivious peer saying the same thing. Their words shouldn’t create any legal obligation, and neither should these.

    As usual, that’s documented (we can RTFM).

    Before trying ctrl-s, you may want to disable software flow control: run stty -ixon & add it to your initialization files. Otherwise, you’ll pause terminal output. ctrl-q resumes terminal output.

    stty reveals terminal special characters

    $ stty -a
    ⁝
    intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O; …
    ⁝
    

    These special characters/keys often perform special functions. To illustrate

    • ctrl-d on empty input typically exits/logs out of interactive terminal applications (including shells)
    • ctrl-u discards input (useful for inputs like password prompts that don’t echo input back)
    • ctrl-v inputs next character literally (such as tab)
