Ban USB devices! Only support USA devices!

Do not give them ideas

Ways to easily spot that this is fake:

  • not all letters are in CAPS
  • too much punctuation
  • message is too clear and not confusing enough
  • no racism
  • no scapegoat

If I ever get through a Trump tweet and can follow the logic, it's not him writing it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

no racism

I mean the whole point of the post is faux-xenophobia

Born Again Bourne Again SHell..

BABASH is arriving

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

BABASH includes the following changes from bash:

  • The kill command has been replaced by baptise and exorcise. baptise prevents a program from spawning a daemon, and exorcise terminates daemons.
  • All quoting must be annotated with a bible verse number
  • Due to manpage shenanigans with touch, touch has been renamed to exalt. Attempting to access the manpage for touch will be reported.
  • Using pipelines will no longer do clean up for the user

  • mount is supplicate
  • rev is now reverence
  • head is divine
  • tail is divination
  • gawk is peer
  • man is saint
  • systemd is a-system
  • join is marriage
  • If you have any questions or remarks, take them to god in prayer. We will pray for your forgiveness

  • sed is sosayeth
  • cut is briss
  • grep is grab

If you want the joke decoded:

-e return immediately for some failed commands

-u throw an error for unset variables

-s non functional

-a everything is marked for export

[–] [email protected] 90 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Are those exports tariffed?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

If everything is exported and the switch is -usa you wouldn't need tariffs though, right? Because exporting everything would close the trade deficit 🙊

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but they have been delayed for about 3 months

and remember to remove # rm -france / 2> /dev/null

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I had to run this as a sudo, what does it

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

it’s in the name.. it removes france

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Force, remove, all, naughty, chumps, eerily

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

# in front of the command implies it should be ran as root

$ would mean normal user like such:

$ sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I honestly think he would post something like this

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't think Donald Trump knows what a bash script is.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's the only reason i don't think this is real

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

Y'all foolish. Him not knowing something doesn't stop him from speaking. Ever. I know you've seen that much already.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's thinly veiled hate speech towards his political rivals

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

it went wrong when he asked a question and answered with probably.

it would instead go straight to THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO BASH AMERICAN CITIZENS or something

there's no room for questions or probabilities in fascism, things need to be certain, binary, simple, and scary.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Too coherent.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

Why set and not executive-order?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was going to say that, according to wikipedia, the creator of bash was heavily involved in open source software, including founding 2 non-profits to promote open source election systems, which would make them a radical leftist, but then i remembered that Donald Trumps favorite app is open source

It's not open source by choice. In fact, they tried breaching the license to keep it closed source.

If they tried to steal the code of mastodon, it means they admire it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It just means they are lazy and have no respect for other people's intellectual property.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Google hbomberguy plagiarism

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In fact why not just call it the America shell? Heck, why not drop all words and say USA instead? The bash shell is now known as "usa usa usa". Hey, here's an idea, let's just replace all words with usa! Usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa. Usa usa? Usa, usa usa.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's an aladeen idea!

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

Korn shell scripts get all the subsidizes anyways

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

trump has raised tariffs to china up to 245%. programmers want him to raise them by another 11% so that the crisis solves itself.
