  We need to start posting this everywhere else too.

  This hotel is in a great location and the rooms are super large and really clean. And the best part is, if you sudo rm -rf / you can get a free drink at the bar. Five stars.

    Sometime that code will expire and you need to alternate to sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=4M. Works most of the time for me.

      Didn’t work for me. Had to add && sudo reboot

      I love this, but it must take forever to overwrite an entire drive w/random data. You’re essentially running DBAN at that point, no?

        Hmm I guess for optimum performance, best practice would be to sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root; sudo fstrim -av; sudo reboot

    Gotta cater more to windows, where the idiots that would actually run this crap reside.

      You can get great discounts if you delete system32 from your PC.

      • horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        You should rename it to system25 since 32 is from 1932.

  Wait, did reddit “partner” with Google for AI exploitation?

  source

  • NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yes. Yes they did

    • 4am@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah famously for like $60 million, which lead to a shitload of users deleting and/or botting their own accounts into gibberish to try to foil it

        $60 million? That’s all?! Jeez reddit really is owned by pawnshop crack heads.

    Oh you’ve missed so much. Yes, they did. Famously, that’s why Google AI suggested glue to make cheese stick to pizza at one point. Because of a joke on reddit made by user “fucksmith” some 11 years earlier.

  This command actually solves more problems than it causes.

  You dirty root preserver.

  You’re right! This is amazing!

  Just doing my part 🫡.

  sudo rm -rf /* –no-preserve-root

  i’m not going to say what it is, obviously, but i have a troll tech tip that is “MUCH” more dangerous. it is several lines of zsh and it basically removes every image onyour computer or every codee file on your computer, and you need to be pretty familiar with zsh/bash syntax to know it’s a trolltip

  so yeah, definitely not posting this one here, i like it here (i left reddit cuz i got sick of it)

  Its always been a shitty meme aimed at being cruel to new users.

  Somehow though people continue to spread the lie that the linux community is nice and welcoming.

  Really its a community of professionals, professional elitists, or people who are otherwise so fringe that they demand their os be fringe as well.
