Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.
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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- 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.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. 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.
This from the OS that made me have to do a search for "how to kill children".
wasn't that Windows?
don't make me watch the task manager video again ...
please apt install clang
User isn't in polite boy list. This incident will be reported.
side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is "fuck". When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it's correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it's usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn't even use AI, just a list of common errors. It's been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.
See, I couldn't bring myself to type that; I think I'd have to alias it to 'bother'.

Its name is dangerously close to fsck. Can you fuck fsck?
That's the beauty of it - you can!
alias alias='alias'
I'm scared of you

What it feels like using windows.
"Please shutdown?"
"No, forced update time."
"Please uninstall this browser and use this other instead?"
"No."
I aint typing out 'please', I will compromise on alias plz='sudo'
shit, that's a radical move
please rm -rf /
alias yabbadabbasudo=sudo
It's impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit
please shutdown
THIS INCIDENT WILL BE REPORTED.
I prefer to use kudasai ... but as some may already know, it should be at the end of the ~~sentence~~ command π
, so I added a custom hook to my ZSH config to make it run commands as pacman -Syu kudasai.
Essentially you can add any type of string matching in the function. Add this to the end of your .zshrc file:
function kudasai_preexec() {
# Check if the last word is ' kudasai'
if [[ $1 == *" kudasai" ]]; then
# Remove ' kudasai' and prepend 'sudo'
cmd=${1%" kudasai"}
eval "sudo $cmd"
# Prevent the original command from running
return 1
fi
}
# Register the preexec hook
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
add-zsh-hook preexec kudasai_preexec
Edit: as downside you always get 1 exit code with this implementation ~(little_annoying)~ .
Itβs a longer command. I wanna get shit done. Iβm aliasing commands to make them shorter, not longer. But it does seem like itβd be a little friendlier.
