I don't know about that. Non-binary files have been put into bin directories for decades at this point. (Feel free to marvel at the analogy.)
Delete the contents and it's not just binaries going to the bit-bucket.
The joke here is more "Tony Lazuto said to execute these files."
If you think about it, all files are binary, some just happen to be human-readable.
So you're saying Tony Lazuto uses Windows??? That bastard!
Tony Lazuto says you should delete System32
This took me way too long
Yup Just delete all binary data from your disks, including the bios and get a quantum computer that you somehow program and control by hand.
I cleaned my bin.
All that's left is a symlink: sh -> /nix/store/...
Why not just symlink to /usr/bin?
Not familiar with NixOS
NixOS has two main selling points:
- I can declaratively manage my system. That'd probably the Thing you know about it.
- but it also uses the Nix Package manager which allows you to install multiple versions of the same program. On Ubuntu, if I update bash from v4.6 to 5.0, it will replace /bin/bash and if any breaking changes were made, any program that has bash 4.6 as dependency won't work anymore. On NixOS binaries are stored in /nix/store with a hash. So bash 4.6 is in /nix/store/hwnfuvshajdbgjajebskhak-bash-4.6 and 5.0 gets installed into /nix/store/638jsvusbhsuksvj76hwlsbj-bash-5.0 This allows us to have programs that depend on a old version of a software installed simultaneously with programs that depend on a new version of it.
Thatβs fuckin sick.

The joke is about the bin/ directory on Linux, which contains the binaries of the system (also called executables) which can break the system if you delete it, and also refer to the paper bin where all your trash files go and people tend to delete usually.
Ah, I don't usually think of trash bins by that term
Could also be referring to something like ~/.local/bin, where you remove unnecessary user-only programs vs. /use/bin where you remove system essential ones.
I think of the trash as just "trash." Thanks for explaining the joke.
Surely it should be "cleaned the bin", right? Dialect issues complicate things but the basic problem seems to be that the joke is just ungrammatical.

Clearing build files of your hobby project when you
rm -rf /bin
instead of
rm -rf bin/
rm -rf bin /
clean your bin not the communal bin
