To he fair, it is removing the french language pack (if installed).
Well, technically yeah. But at what cost?
I removed the French language pack
What did it cost you?
Everything
None. Just profit.
I just se saved 206 GiB on my drive. Thanks!
Who knew the funny diacritics used so much storage?
sudo rm -fr /* is short for sudo rm --for-real /*
Super-do real-magic --for-real /* (<- that's a magic wand)
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.
I mean.
People have been saying "press alt F4 to change your IRC nick" or whatever for several decades
And didn't make an IOS upgrade back in the days the iPhone waterproof? And another one enabled fast charging in the microwave oven...
The fact that manufacturers feel the need to put warnings that encompass this kind of stupidity on their product tells you all you need to know, doesn't it.
Wasn't there a woman who tried to dry her little dog in the microwave, sued the company and won, because they never explicitely stated not to put live animals in there?
I hope that story isn't true, but most warning labels exist for a reason, and that reason isn't common sense.
-force -recursive but I like the way you think
don't forget no-preserve-root to remove all the roots and prevent it from reinstalled
since it affects /* and not / no-preserve-root isn't needed
'root' referred to the Fr*nch root words
I think that was a load-bearing language pack - my entire system has caved-in!
Yeah and an old joke that doesn't even work anymore since.. decades, now? For those kind of folders, extra flags are required
since it affects /* and not / the extra flag isn't necessary
Also, remember to empty your recycle bin by doing sudo rf -rm /usr/bin, and don't forget the super recycle bin for hidden super garbage sudo rm -rf /usr/sbin
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
You also need the flag "--no-preserve-root".
I think that is only if you pass /, I don't think the flag is required for /* which is what is shown here - if I remember right, it's because the * triggers the shell to expand the paths and that flag is only built to protect / (from say, having an empty variable alongside /).
Fixed timezone issues. Thank you.
Didn't know we could say the f-word on Lemmy
do you hear the people sing
i hear they sing vaguely swear-y words
What's wrong with the French language pack?
Not enough baguette 🥖
au bon pain
Omelette du fromage
Omelette du fromage
🎶That's all you can say-y🎶
Shut Up Dee-dee!
Pourquoi ?
That's racist
But also, please do this if you're a true American patriot...
Guys, think about it before you downvote...
Hon hon hon
That's a big egg. Of course, egg is just how you say oof when you remove the french language pack.
Œuf
