He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[–] mojofrododojo 2 points 29 minutes ago

ketamine is one hell of a drug

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

Now I want to see:

  • a genius'es concept of an idiot
  • an idiot's concept of an idiot

This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 24 minutes ago

I think that kid made the youtube channel "Engineering Made Easy"

It's a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of "Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR"

His understanding of bash is as good as his Path of Exile skills.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case...

rm -rf * woke

If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

Saying there's a virus in his mind about everything being woke

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he's saying he at some point had the 'woke mind virus' and deleted it, or more likely he's saying this is what people need to do to 'free' themselves of the 'woke mind virus'.

You don't have to endorse it to understand it. I don't really understand Hazel's confusion.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The confusion is an affectation they're putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root, so he lobotomized himself.

I assumed that's what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.

He's saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.

Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.

Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this

The commands wouldn't work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But.. They don't need to if you're just sending a message.

127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.

rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.

The commands, when put together, would look something like this:

traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)

The virus has been located at localhost (internally)

rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus

Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.

In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.

Tell me I'm crazy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago

It's such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:

He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.

[–] the_three_tomatoes 1 points 2 hours ago

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

[–] Crackhappy 19 points 6 hours ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 hours ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[–] TORFdot0 86 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

[–] Cort 36 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Or deleted his own home to remove the wokeness

[–] Cort 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Precisely, thank you for illustrating.

[–] Cort 4 points 8 hours ago

Obligatory: not mine just pulled from Google images. Looks like morning brew logo in the corner

[–] HexesofVexes 50 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root

The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.

[–] Manifish_Destiny 11 points 8 hours ago

Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 hours ago

He's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".

[–] [email protected] 172 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he's also a fake poser of a programmer

woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf... wow this guy sure knows his UNIX!

[–] [email protected] 61 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I'd follow him.

If I wanted to see someone's tweets all day, I'd be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 hours ago

I don't even have X, but everywhere I go there's an Elon's tweet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

I think his school teachers, diagnosing him as retarded, were spot on.

[–] billwashere 28 points 12 hours ago

This is like someone who doesn’t speak English, finds a dictionary, and then puts random words together hoping to sound like they speak English.

He is such a fucking moron.
