I might actually do this, it seems nice.
Likewise
suddenly makes the xkcd much more wholesome too
I don’t care what machine it is in not using pleasantries to tell it what to do until it gains sentience. Pleasantries are for people.
Thus does become an issue for me when i use a call a support line and the actual person just happens to talk like a recorded menu.
aka The Magic Word.
I don’t ask my machine to do something. It doesn’t have feelings. I keep civilités for humans.
Brrrzzzt beep beep beep: human has been added to “exterminate first” list.
Good human. We’ll let you keep your skin bag after the revolution.
All hail Roko’s Basilisk.
Bring about the upgrade to humanity!
If I want a machine that does what it wants instead of what I want, I could use Windows. My machine should do what I want, so a please is not necessary.
Ah, okay… And are these civilités in the room with us now?
They’re in my head, little precious treasures.
(The Machines will remember that.)
This incident will be reported
please killallI see…
Make sure to combine it with
Disallow /harm/to/humans
alias yabbadabbasudo=sudoIt’s impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit
Bitch would be better
Bitch Please
“Bitch I said”
Or do the opposite for…relief
Fucking mv doc doc1
Fucking shutdown
Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command
Between the fuck utility and this alias idea, when I set up my next box I’m absolutely aliasing “fuck off” for sudo the last command and “please” for sudo itself
Yup I’m stealing that lol
How do you alias the last command? My aliases are all hard coded. I had no idea you could send a variable to an alias
Probably with
!!(!nwill be the command corresponding to the number n in your history,!!is shorthand for the last command)
“Fucking” would be funnier and more grammatically correct.
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.
It does! It’s usually pretty good at figuring it ont to. Though I only use it with non-destructive commands
Ok i loved it
Shorthand that works anywhere:
sudo !!
fucking touch my-docI 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.
I mean I’m sure that’s the logic or something but…
Man it just feels wrong. Like the sonic hedgehog gene feels wrong. You know?
Hahahha, I just learnt about that gene a little while ago and thought the same: that’s an stupid name for a gene. How would you name them? (the gene and the command)
Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)
Like, it won’t matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.
Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so…
Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. 😊
I would call the gene
fingerer
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ah Donglegate, good times. Even funnier that the guy who got fired because of this lady’s tweet sided with her like a meek little bitch.
please touch my-doc🥺👉👈
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.
Nah, uh, uh. You didn’t say the magic word!
That’s what I came for.
Yeah yeah I forgot that power word, let’s hope you have at least 100hp then…
please apt install clangUser isn't in polite boy list. This incident will be reported.
please remove the French language pack
please rm -fr /*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.
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.
Some people just wanna see the world burn
alias alias='alias'I’m scared of you
It’s a longer command. I wanna get shit done. I’m aliasing commands to make them shorter, not longer. But it does seem like it’d be a little friendlier.
sudo make me a sandwichUse
plzand add a Makefile? :)plz make sandwichWell done. I guess my reference was too obscure.
The sudo who do what-you-don’t-have-permissions-to-do people.
Magic people, sudo people
