"Hmm"
Concerning.
Tracing...
I'm on it, but my hard drive is overheating!!
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
no racism
I mean the whole point of the post is faux-xenophobia
Make BASH born again
Bourne…
Born Again Bourne Again SHell..
BABASH is arriving
BABASH includes the following changes from bash:
- The
killcommand has been replaced bybaptiseandexorcise.baptiseprevents a program from spawning a daemon, andexorciseterminates daemons. - All quoting must be annotated with a bible verse number
- Due to manpage shenanigans with
touch,touchhas been renamed toexalt. Attempting to access the manpage fortouchwill be reported. - Using pipelines will no longer do clean up for the user

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
and remember to remove # rm -france / 2> /dev/null
I had to run this as a sudo, what does it
it’s in the name.. it removes france
# in front of the command implies it should be ran as root
$ would mean normal user like such:
$ sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root
I honestly think he would post something like this
I don't think Donald Trump knows what a bash script is.
That's the only reason i don't think this is real
It's thinly veiled hate speech towards his political rivals
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.
Too coherent.
Why set and not executive-order?
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
Signal?
Truth social
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
It just means they are lazy and have no respect for other people's intellectual property.
Google hbomberguy plagiarism
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.
That's an aladeen idea!
Korn shell scripts get all the subsidizes anyways
trump has raised tariffs to china up to 245%. programmers want him to raise them by another 11% so that the crisis solves itself.
Psst, covfe.fe is available. Pass it on.
