Fucking mv doc doc1
Fucking shutdown
fucking touch my-docplease touch my-docπ₯Ίππ( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesnβt have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?
Changing timestamps and creating empty files..
Of course, that makes so much sense. π€
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.
I mean Iβm sure thatβs the logic or something but..
Man it just feels wrong. Like the sonic hedgehog gene feels wrong. You know?
Hahahha, I just learnt about that gene a little while ago and thought the same: that's an stupid name for a gene. How would you name them? (the gene and the command)
Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)
Like, it wonβt matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.
Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so..
Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. π
I would call the gene
fingererAh Donglegate, good times. Even funnier that the guy who got fired because of this ladyβs tweet sided with her like a meek little bitch.
Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command
Thereβs a project that automatically corrects common errors with your last command as well with the same name.
It sounds fun and "magic" but it is hella scary to blindly run some "fixed" command
I believe it does take confirmation via the ENTER key.
It does! Itβs usually pretty good at figuring it ont to. Though I only use it with non-destructive commands
Ok i loved it
Shorthand that works anywhere:
sudo !!Between the fuck utility and this alias idea, when I set up my next box I'm absolutely aliasing "fuck off" for sudo the last command and "please" for sudo itself
"Fucking" would be funnier and more grammatically correct.
Yup I'm stealing that lol
How do you alias the last command? My aliases are all hard coded. I had no idea you could send a variable to an alias
Probably with
!!(!nwill be the command corresponding to the number n in your history,!!is shorthand for the last command)I wonder if you could make it sass you every so often to complete the effect.
Fucking shutdown
Chill my man. I'm on it.
