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 /*
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...
-force -recursive but I like the way you think
don't forget no-preserve-root
to remove all the roots and prevent it from getting reinstalled
since it affects /* and not / no-preserve-root
isn't needed
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".
No you don't.
rm -fr /
requires the flag, but rm -fr /*
does not.
Didn't know we could say the f-word on Lemmy
Fixed timezone issues. Thank you.
Pourquoi ?
That's racist
But also, please do this if you're a true American patriot...
Guys, think about it before you downvote...
