As a Jesse Pinkman fan, I use “bitch”.
bitch poweroffbitch rm -rf /I shared this with my wife. She said “It sounds like pangolin programming.”
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.
Yeah, I will never say please to an algorithm.
Maybe if we get true AI like Star Treks Data, but until then, STFU and do what I tell you
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…?”

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.
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.
I have it aliased to “pls”
… but I don’t use it.
In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest “pls”.
Try “Bruh”
Bruh shutdown
Or icanhaz
gooby pls
Maybe pls for the su command?
alias srsly="sudo !!"I prefer
"sota !!"
What I don’t get is why deny the execution of a command because the lack of sudo instead of just notice that it needs elevated privilege and ask for password
It’s kind of bad for scripts, where it can be either annoying or genuinely problematic, when your script hangs on a password prompt. You typically do want it to just fail right away, because if you have monitoring, then you’ll be able to spot it failing.
These days, it is (largely reliably) possible to detect whether a command is being run interactively or as part of an unattended script, so you do see some commands that trigger a sudo password prompt only for interactive use, for example
systemctldoes this. But this adds quite a bit of complexity to each individual program, so it isn’t really something that’s going to be implemented universally.I also have to say that
systemctlkind of gets on my tits when it does that, because it throws up a GUI dialog for grabbing the password, which is quite jarring.
alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"please shutdown; thanksI know this is a meme and not GitHub, but I thought some people might like to learn that if you do
please shutdown && thanksit won’t say you’re welcome if the shutdown failedWait, isn’t it the other way around? I thought ; only executed the next command if the previous one succeeded, and && executed the next command regardless of exit status.
No, OP is correct, && only continues on exit 0. || For anything but zero, ; just chains another command.
alias sudo fucking
fucking systemctl restart firewalld.service
fucking shutdown
Reminds me of my favorite command line utility.
Is their a still maintained fork?
I use Pay Respects now
Kind stranger; you made my day
alias thanks="You are most welcomed"you need to use the
echocommand if you want to echo something:alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)
Huh yeah my bad, wrote this too fast in-between two messages at work
I have please run the previous command as sudo
i love that!
But the whole reason I use Linux is because I don’t ask it to do things, I tell it to do things, because it’s a machine, and it’s my machine.
You could alias
sudotojustfor a little more rudeness.I’m also not trying to be rude to my machine, that’s erroneous, I’m not going to treat a computer like it thinks or has emotions, one way or the other.
