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

[–] [email protected] 74 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago

No see, he's saying the woke_mind_virus is protecting him! He can no longer accidentally run the rm command and erase his entire mind. It's 4d cheese or whatever to tell the woke they are actually correct and this right wing posturing is a plot /s

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

@theneverfox @HiddenLayer555 Euh... that's network / sysadmin more than programming .

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

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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

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
  • a genius'es concept of a genius

He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.

But he isn't...

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

So he isn't even a techy, the whole thing has been an act

[–] [email protected] 98 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

after he bought twitter and made a big thing about auditing their code, there was a post going around that was something like

first he talked about cars, and i know nothing about cars but people said he was a genius so i believed it

then he talked about rockets, and i know nothing about rockets but people said he was a genius so i believed it

now he's talking about computers, and i know a lot about computers, and he's saying some of the most batshit insane things i've ever heard, so i'm starting to reevaluate my earlier choices...

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's just inverse South African notation.

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] 24 points 2 months 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

the woke was coming from inside the house!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

ketamine is one hell of a drug

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won't have to read his takes.

Use [email protected] for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jokes on him. I'm a carrier of the Woke Mind Virus and there's nothing he can do about it.

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

rm -rf * woke

All the Linux details are weirdly off, like it's correct enough if you were copying someone's homework, but it's just wrong if you've actually done anything in linux.
