What about ULTRA FRENCH?
be sure to add -no-preserve-root to make sure ultra french is gone too
no need, since /* doesn't start at root, it'll not trip the safety
I think you’re wrong but I’m not willing to test it to see
Pussy
the shell expands it to rm -fr /bin /etc /usr /home /dev and so on. rm never sees the /, so the safety doesn't trigger
virtual machines
trying to remove ULTRAFRENCH is a fool's errand
That means we are still missing Swiss French
What about French Ceole? Can't be too certain.
Please do not be racist to us French people, it is for that reason I have down voted your post today
I'm not a fan of this one. It is kind of funny but, I'm also just too worried that some gullible Linux newbies will take this as real advice and be caused great emotional, and potentially financial, tragedy.
Eh, not really anymore. Now you need to run it with the option --no-preserve-root flag or something like that in order for it to do irrivokable damage
Not if you do "/*". The warning only appears if you try to remove "/"
You could always just reinstall from a usb boot drive lol
sudo rm -fr --no-cap /*
Zut alors! Règle!
Always the french sneaking their way into my Nelgish only system. (Idk history, probably not accurate)
