Ban USB devices! Only support USA devices!

Do not give them ideas

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 107 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ways to easily spot that this is fake:

  • not all letters are in CAPS
  • too much punctuation
  • message is too clear and not confusing enough
  • no racism
  • no scapegoat

If I ever get through a Trump tweet and can follow the logic, it's not him writing it

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

no racism

I mean the whole point of the post is faux-xenophobia

Born Again Bourne Again SHell..

BABASH is arriving

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

BABASH includes the following changes from bash:

  • The kill command has been replaced by baptise and exorcise. baptise prevents a program from spawning a daemon, and exorcise terminates daemons.
  • All quoting must be annotated with a bible verse number
  • Due to manpage shenanigans with touch, touch has been renamed to exalt. Attempting to access the manpage for touch will be reported.
  • Using pipelines will no longer do clean up for the user

  • mount is supplicate

If you want the joke decoded:

-e return immediately for some failed commands

-u throw an error for unset variables

-s non functional

-a everything is marked for export

[–] tazeycrazy@feddit.uk 90 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are those exports tariffed?

[–] reinei@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

If everything is exported and the switch is -usa you wouldn't need tariffs though, right? Because exporting everything would close the trade deficit 🙊

[–] Tungsten5@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Yeah but they have been delayed for about 3 months

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and remember to remove # rm -france / 2> /dev/null

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I had to run this as a sudo, what does it

[–] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

it’s in the name.. it removes france

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Force, remove, all, naughty, chumps, eerily

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

# in front of the command implies it should be ran as root

$ would mean normal user like such:

$ sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I honestly think he would post something like this

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think Donald Trump knows what a bash script is.

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the only reason i don't think this is real

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 14 points 1 year ago

Y'all foolish. Him not knowing something doesn't stop him from speaking. Ever. I know you've seen that much already.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's thinly veiled hate speech towards his political rivals

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it went wrong when he asked a question and answered with probably.

it would instead go straight to THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO BASH AMERICAN CITIZENS or something

there's no room for questions or probabilities in fascism, things need to be certain, binary, simple, and scary.

[–] III@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Too coherent.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

Why set and not executive-order?

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was going to say that, according to wikipedia, the creator of bash was heavily involved in open source software, including founding 2 non-profits to promote open source election systems, which would make them a radical leftist, but then i remembered that Donald Trumps favorite app is open source

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's not open source by choice. In fact, they tried breaching the license to keep it closed source.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If they tried to steal the code of mastodon, it means they admire it

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It just means they are lazy and have no respect for other people's intellectual property.

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Google hbomberguy plagiarism

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In fact why not just call it the America shell? Heck, why not drop all words and say USA instead? The bash shell is now known as "usa usa usa". Hey, here's an idea, let's just replace all words with usa! Usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa. Usa usa? Usa, usa usa.

[–] mormegil@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

That's an aladeen idea!

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Korn shell scripts get all the subsidizes anyways

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago

trump has raised tariffs to china up to 245%. programmers want him to raise them by another 11% so that the crisis solves itself.

[–] sfled@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Psst, covfe.fe is available. Pass it on.
