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.

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

The woke mind virus deleted the ability to remove things in the console?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week 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] 42 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

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

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.

He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 97 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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...

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

This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I think that kid made the youtube channel "Engineering Made Easy"

It's a channel about an Indian guy badly explaining physics in order to justify his spiritual beliefs, featuring the best of "Shit Roger Penrose absolutely did not say, not even when talking about Orch-OR"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Lmao, so accurate.

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.

Didn't the woke virus delete /usr/bin/rm ?

Although rm might be a builtin, I didnt check.

❯ which rm
/usr/bin/rm 

Ah, no, apparently it isn't.
