Or do the opposite for…relief
Fucking mv doc doc1
Fucking shutdown
fucking touch my-doc
please touch my-doc
🥺👉👈I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?
Changing timestamps and creating empty files…
Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔
It does make sense! When you modify a file, you do “things” on it, you write it. So the minimum you can possibly do to a file to modify it, is “to poke it”: to touch it.
Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command
Shorthand that works anywhere:
sudo !!
There’s a project that automatically corrects common errors with your last command as well with the same name.
It sounds fun and “magic” but it is hella scary to blindly run some “fixed” command
I believe it does take confirmation via the ENTER key.
I wonder if you could make it sass you every so often to complete the effect.
Fucking shutdown
Chill my man. I’m on it.
This from the OS that made me have to do a search for “how to kill children”.
I might actually do this, it seems nice.
suddenly makes the xkcd much more wholesome too
alias alias='alias'
please killall
I see…
please remove the French language pack
please rm -fr /*
Some people just wanna see the world burn
For people that don’t get the joke: this messes up your system
If you’re out of the loop: this is part of the joke tricking people into dedicating precious hard drive space to an unnecessary language pack.
Now a days you have add —no-preserve root after the laggy French pack to fully remove it.
Not with the asterisk! The shell automatically expands the asterisk before sending the args to rm, removing every French language pack in your root directory.
I aint typing out ‘please’, I will compromise on
alias plz='sudo'
alias yabbadabbasudo=sudo
It’s impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit
please !!
‘Aurenkin’ is not in the pleasers file. This incident will be reported.
please apt install clang
User isn't in polite boy list. This incident will be reported.
more typing. if i set up an alias for it, i’d rather set up su
pls
side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is “fuck”. When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it’s correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it’s usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn’t even use AI, just a list of common errors. It’s been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.
See, I couldn’t bring myself to type that; I think I’d have to alias it to ‘bother’.
