alias thus speaks the Lord='sudo'

[-] Alberat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

User is not in the pleaser file. This incident will be reported.

[-] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As a Jesse Pinkman fan, I use "bitch".

bitch poweroff

bitch rm -rf /

Just aliased it to "Computer," so it feels more like Star Trek

will probably continue typing sudo tho

Life pro tip: good manners make it easier to get what you want

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 2 days ago

ACTUAL good advice?! Is that even allowed here??

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Only once per quarter, and only incomplete rules to the advice. This particular instance of advice is barely skirting the standards and norms.

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 178 points 2 days ago

In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest "pls".

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago

Try "Bruh"

Bruh shutdown

For me, it's "pwease" because I like that sub relationship.

You forgot the -v tag to watch your dreams die in real time!

I know this is a meme and not GitHub, but I thought some people might like to learn that if you do please shutdown && thanks it won't say you're welcome if the shutdown failed

Please thank you

[-] texture@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

oh hell yeah this is the exact level of goofyness i need right now.

[-] CoooookieCrisp@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago

The hyper-cynical side of me is sure this is written by someone prepping their next LLM exploit. "How can I get around these security filters that won't let me include 'sudo' in my command injection...?"

[-] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

I doubt, there isn't much of a need for additional ways to obfuscate commands.

Nah. Fuck being polite to computers. It's an object and I own it. I'll shoot it the instant it expresses any level of personhood.

$ man woman
No manual entry for woman

🤷‍♂️

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

But the whole reason I use Linux is because I don’t ask it to do things, I tell it to do things, because it’s a machine, and it’s my machine.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

You could alias sudo to just for a little more rudeness.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
