Or do the opposite for…relief
Fucking mv doc doc1
Fucking shutdown
fucking touch my-docplease touch my-doc🥺👉👈I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?
Changing timestamps and creating empty files…
Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔
It does make sense! When you modify a file, you do “things” on it, you write it. So the minimum you can possibly do to a file to modify it, is “to poke it”: to touch it.
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 …

I might actually do this, it seems nice.
suddenly makes the xkcd much more wholesome too
please remove the French language pack
please rm -fr /*For people that don’t get the joke: this messes up your system
If you’re out of the loop: this is part of the joke tricking people into dedicating precious hard drive space to an unnecessary language pack.
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’.
more typing. if i set up an alias for it, i’d rather set up su
pls
