He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 hours ago

He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.

But he isn't...

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago

ketamine is one hell of a drug

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 52 points 6 hours ago

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

Now I want to see:

  • a genius'es concept of an idiot
  • an idiot's concept of an idiot
  • a genius'es concept of a genius

  1. most of the cast of Arrested Development
  2. the movie: Idiocracy
  3. lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman
[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 hours ago
  1. I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
  2. Yup
  3. Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

I think I just wanted to mention arrested development lol. It being a smart, well-written show about very dumb people

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 hours ago

i'd nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses' genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn't crack.

[-] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 54 minutes ago

Ah true I haven't heard of him! Love to hear about autodidact geniuses.

[-] lefixxx@lemmy.world 43 points 7 hours ago

His understanding of bash is as good as his Path of Exile skills.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 12 points 6 hours ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

Emerald off the rails

[-] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case...

rm -rf * woke
[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 19 points 6 hours ago

If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

Saying there's a virus in his mind about everything being woke

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 17 points 8 hours ago

This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he's saying he at some point had the 'woke mind virus' and deleted it, or more likely he's saying this is what people need to do to 'free' themselves of the 'woke mind virus'.

You don't have to endorse it to understand it. I don't really understand Hazel's confusion.

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 minutes ago

The woke mind virus is coming from INSIDE the house

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 29 points 7 hours ago

The confusion is an affectation they're putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root, so he lobotomized himself.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root

I assumed that's what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 26 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

He's saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.

Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.

Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this

The commands wouldn't work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But.. They don't need to if you're just sending a message.

127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.

rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.

The commands, when put together, would look something like this:

traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)

The virus has been located at localhost (internally)

rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus

Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.

In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.

Tell me I'm crazy.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Didn't the woke virus delete /usr/bin/rm ?

Although rm might be a builtin, I didnt check.

❯ which rm
/usr/bin/rm 

Ah, no, apparently it isn't.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 18 points 7 hours ago

It's such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:

He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[-] sepi@piefed.social 24 points 10 hours ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 92 points 14 hours ago

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 38 points 13 hours ago

I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 185 points 17 hours ago

Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he's also a fake poser of a programmer

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root

The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.

[-] Thomrade@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

It would remove the Latin language packas well because its specifying the --no-preserve-root flag.

Actually I'd worry that it might purge language all the way back to Indo-European, but if it means getting rid of French, its a risk I'm willing to take.

[-] aleq@lemmy.world 193 points 17 hours ago

woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf... wow this guy sure knows his UNIX!

Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.

[-] vort3@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 hours ago

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I'd follow him.

If I wanted to see someone's tweets all day, I'd be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.

[-] flango@lemmy.eco.br 32 points 15 hours ago

I don't even have X, but everywhere I go there's an Elon's tweet

He's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".
