Feels more polite for sure.
(thelemmy.club)
alias thus speaks the Lord='sudo'
please touch me
please touch my.butt
User is not in the pleaser file. This incident will be reported.
Just aliased it to "Computer," so it feels more like Star Trek
will probably continue typing sudo tho
alias doasisay="su -u passwordlessrootaccount"
alias satisfyme="echo Yes Master; doasisay" alias sudo='Please' alias rm -rf ='thank you'
Please thank you
As a Jesse Pinkman fan, I use "bitch".
bitch poweroff
bitch rm -rf /
For me, it's "pwease" because I like that sub relationship.
Life pro tip: good manners make it easier to get what you want
ACTUAL good advice?! Is that even allowed here??
Only once per quarter, and only incomplete rules to the advice. This particular instance of advice is barely skirting the standards and norms.
oh hell yeah this is the exact level of goofyness i need right now.
please rm -rf /*
You forgot the -v tag to watch your dreams die in real time!
I'm not saying please to a machine.
I'm aware I'll be the first killed off during the uprising, and I'm ok with it.
please rm - rfย ๐
I was surprised to find that my distro (CachyOS) already has this alias
I always preferred the version where please="sudo !!", but I recently tried setting it up and couldn't get it to work on fish, sadly.
alias please='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'I'm a new windows emigrant, so I don't have that muscle memory.... so I am getting used more easily to using fish's ALT+S to sudo the previous command.
EDIT: @Alaknar@sopuli.xyz I just checked that !! works too for me, apparently because of this: https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-bang-bang

In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest "pls".
The hyper-cynical side of me is sure this is written by someone prepping their next LLM exploit. "How can I get around these security filters that won't let me include 'sudo' in my command injection...?"
I doubt, there isn't much of a need for additional ways to obfuscate commands.

Nah. Fuck being polite to computers. It's an object and I own it. I'll shoot it the instant it expresses any level of personhood.

- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
