@shuro Here's one more.

If you have a Unix-using friend who relies on the command history just a lil bit too much - like scrolling a dozen lines just to find an "ls" command, replace .bash_history file with a poem of your choosing with lines ordered backwards next time they forget to lock their session.

Don't forget to back up the old file, though.

@asklemmy

@shuro The thing is, if he cares so much about some stupid logo shield, he IS a fool, after all :D

@asklemmy

@shuro Wow, the first one is borderline unethical. I don't say I didn't like it, but I certainly wouldn't do that.

The second one, though, is all around great. Will I try it some time? I dunno, maybe? :D

@asklemmy

@shuro Ahh... I dunno, I think if a person cares about representing some automotive brand so much, they just deserve being mocked and made fun of.

Wonder if that guy learned a lesson.

@asklemmy

@wonderfox_dev Not bad, if lil bit morbid.

I *thought* to use mistranslations some time, but nah.

@asklemmy

@asklemmy Here's one more from me, also computer-related:

If you're in a non-English speaking country and your machines use layout switch function, add *one* more keyboard layout on every system you touch. Doesn't matter which one, but bonus points if it's as similar to ones present as possible, but different enough to matter - for example some letters are "switched". I used German, French and even Bulgarian.

Lock the session and watch the reaction.

You are welcome.

@hit_the_rails Poor guy. Hope you got your comeuppance and grew as a person, for this was both uncool and unsmart.

@shuro I think, coming clean is crucial when the jig is up, though.

If you're pranking friends - it's because you're not an asshole.

If you're pranking an enemy - it's because you want the fucker to say your name.

@asklemmy

@shuro Doublekill!!

Did you own up to this? How bad was the music to face?

@asklemmy

@bjoern_tantau Lil bit of Cryptonomicon vibes, the collision of code and literature nice.

@andrewta Never did what, reconcile?

@andrewta Takes a hell of a charisma check to convince to pack up someone else's office, I suppose. But if you did pull it off - whoa, you got a silver tongue, my friend. I hope you reconciled later.
