Well, technically yeah. But at what cost?
I removed the French language pack
What did it cost you?
Everything
I just se saved 206 GiB on my drive. Thanks!
Who knew the funny diacritics used so much storage?
I think that was a load-bearing language pack - my entire system has caved-in!
for real
sudo rm -fr /* is short for sudo rm --for-real /*
Super-do real-magic --for-real /* (<- that's a magic wand)
-force -recursive but I like the way you think
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.
That's a big egg. Of course, egg is just how you say oof when you remove the french language pack.
nixos peeps: π
Fixed timezone issues. Thank you.
do you hear the people sing
don't forget no-preserve-root to remove all the roots and prevent it from getting reinstalled
since it affects /* and not / no-preserve-root isn't needed
I've never actually tried this but feel like rm should have a built in warning specifically for that command letting them know they've been trolled and have a y/N prompt.
There kind of is one, but it is overridden by -f
What's wrong with the French language pack?
