Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    sudo rm -fr /* is short for sudo rm --for-real /*

    Remember that AI answer that said that adding -f option was to get a confirmation before deletion ?

    I'm a bit concerned that this kind of meme will get a lot more real when people will blindly trust AI for commands.

    Unfortunately I couldn't find the post in question but if I recall it was GitHub AI telling boldly that you can add -f to your RM command to get a confirmation...

    Read the man people. RTFM is still a good advice.

    I mean.
    People have been saying "press alt F4 to change your IRC nick" or whatever for several decades

    Or, a bit more recent, telling someone in WoW that command to do something was /camp (it logs you out)
