side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is “fuck”. When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it’s correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it’s usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn’t even use AI, just a list of common errors. It’s been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.
Its name is dangerously close to fsck. Can you fuck fsck?
That’s the beauty of it - you can!
See, I couldn’t bring myself to type that; I think I’d have to alias it to ‘bother’.
I aint typing out ‘please’, I will compromise on
alias plz='sudo'
alias ty='exit'
shit, that’s a radical move
alias go-go-gadget=sudo
$ go-go-gadget apt update
I love this haha
alias bridge-to-engineering=sudo
alias computer=sudo
Or do the opposite for…relief
Fucking mv doc doc1
Fucking shutdown
fucking touch my-doc
please touch my-doc
🥺👉👈( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?
Changing timestamps and creating empty files…
Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔
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 I’m sure that’s 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 won’t 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. 😊
Ah Donglegate, good times. Even funnier that the guy who got fired because of this lady’s tweet sided with her like a meek little bitch.
Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command
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
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.
please killall
I see…
Make sure to combine it with
Disallow /harm/to/humans
please remove the French language pack
please rm -fr /*
Some people just wanna see the world burn
Now a days you have add —no-preserve root after the laggy French pack to fully remove it.
Not with the asterisk! The shell automatically expands the asterisk before sending the args to rm, removing every French language pack in your root directory.
For people that don’t get the joke: this messes up your system
If you’re out of the loop: this is part of the joke tricking people into dedicating precious hard drive space to an unnecessary language pack.
alias yabbadabbasudo=sudo
It’s impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit
$ alias please="sudo"
$ alias stay="shutdown"
$ please stay_
Oof right in the feels
please !!
‘Aurenkin’ is not in the pleasers file. This incident will be reported.
Nah, uh, uh. You didn’t say the magic word!
That’s what I came for.
Yeah yeah I forgot that power word, let’s hope you have at least 100hp then…
alias fuck=sudo !!
I much prefer this package for my

This from the OS that made me have to do a search for “how to kill children”.
