1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    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.

    From my experience, the most accurate result would be "me: invalid argument" "

    I think it'd say something about no Makefile present.

    I feel like neither of those would require sudo first.
    Unless you removed read permissions to the directory you are working in.

    When the monkeys-paw package is also installed.

    A monkey's paw is a talisman that grants wishes but the wishes are usually granted in a way not expected by the requester, usually as a punishment for tampering with fate.

    Here, the guy requests "make me a sandwich", the monkey's paw would grant the wish by literally interpreting the wish.

    If you want to see more, there is a subreddit called /r/monkeyspaw. Not sure if there's a community on Lemmy.

    This specific example works in english but in many languages with the dative case such a mix up cannot happen.

    Interesting.
    So this is probably the origin of the Evil Genie idea.

    [–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

    It actually originates from this short story

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monkey%27s_Paw

    Apparently this story is also what inspired Pet Sematary.

    Wait, you actually did what I said?! This is atrocious.

    Especially when I have the monkey's paw.

    [–] krakenfury@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 months ago

    That's some super user dough

    [–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

    That actually took me a second to understand, but it's a good one

    [–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    It is going to be hard getting used to run0 if it ever goes ahead.

    [–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    All distros that switch will probably just symlink it to sudo i guess

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

    I would assume so but it seems like it could be problematic for some compatibility as you're not switching users and weird options being passed into something like sudo or run0 seem dangerous to me if they have different ways of parsing the input (which they might not).

    Sandwich is built entirely out of sauce?

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
