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 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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    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. πŸ€”

    [–] double_quack@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    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.

    [–] MonkeyTown@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    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?

    Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command

    [–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    There’s a project that automatically corrects common errors with your last command as well with the same name.

    [–] double_quack@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    It sounds fun and "magic" but it is hella scary to blindly run some "fixed" command

    [–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I believe it does take confirmation via the ENTER key.

    [–] cactopuses@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

    It does! It’s usually pretty good at figuring it ont to. Though I only use it with non-destructive commands

    For people that don't get the joke: this messes up your system

    [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    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.

    [–] Zron@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Now a days you have add β€”no-preserve root after the laggy French pack to fully remove it.

    alias yabbadabbasudo=sudo

    It's impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit

    I don't ask my machine to do something. It doesn't have feelings. I keep civilitΓ©s for humans.
