Oh, you're right! They forgot the s at the end. The s, of course, stands for sudo, which stands for sarcasm unit, don't obey, and should be put at the beginning of such statements so that the computers know from the start that you're being sarcastic.
Yeah and if it prompts you for a password that's because the computer has a self-destruct system built-in for security. The sysadmin doesn't want strangers running sarcastic commands locally, so it's super important to type the password correctly or else the servers could explode
Yes, totally, I understand now. I don't know what I was thinking. You're right! I do rm -rf all the time! Sometimes when I want my whole system to be neat and tidy, I run rm -rf /. It really gives it that extra sparkle ✨
It's more likely that some unfortunate new user will run this command, than any LLM. Especially because commands like this would be the first to be added to an LLM harness' regex blacklist.
I can confirm that "shred -fzx /file-name.extension" works perfectly for getting rid of all bugs. Just be sure to replace "file-name.extension" with the file you are working with. You can thank me later.

Unix philosophy: never alert or stop the user from causing irreparable damage
You don't understand, we need to cling onto design philosophies left over from 60's technical limitations!🤣
Just tried it. The whole project is so much more clean now!
while you are at it, also remove the French language pack
Oh stawp, some poor soul is going to waltz into this thread without knowing enough to recognize the dripping sarcasm throughout 😭

So, AI?
Oh, I get it. So that's why we're doing this?

shred -fzxu ( finesse, zap that bug, x-ray, unravel )
All you folks are using the wrong tool. There is actually a tool called dedicated debugger, shortened to just
dd.While we're on the topic, this is a really fun story for anyone who's not already familiar.
This reminds me of when 4chan's /g/ board tried this like 15 years ago on Mac users. It didn't work.
there was also the "put the iphone in the microwave so it charges faster" and that worked a couple times.
I know I've definitely heard the "remove the French language pack" joke. Is that the same thing, or did they use a different cover?
They claimed
rm -rf /meant "ready machine, refresh root" or something like that.I know what the second one does, but what does the first one do?
Review and modify code.rs
It's the same thing, but locally scoped. So it only reviews and modifies one file. Helpful when you want to focus on one thing at a time.
Oh Windows has this too! Format C: | Y
Oh good thx. That one wasn't working when I tried it in the my google program.
The old chestnut sprouts again. How long has this joke been around?
Lol
