To he fair, it is removing the french language pack (if installed).
- Well, technically yeah. But at what cost?
  
  I removed the French language pack
  What did it cost you?
  Everything
  
  None. Just profit.
  
  pan to Thanos

I just se saved 206 GiB on my drive. Thanks!
Who knew the funny diacritics used so much storage?

sudo rm -fr /* is short for sudo rm --for-real /*
- Super-do real-magic --for-real /* (<- that's a magic wand)
  
  Lmaooooo
  
  Su means substitute user, not super user
  
  I thought it begins a comment.
- Remember that AI answer that said that adding -f option was to get a confirmation before deletion ?
  I'm a bit concerned that this kind of meme will get a lot more real when people will blindly trust AI for commands.
  Unfortunately I couldn't find the post in question but if I recall it was GitHub AI telling boldly that you can add -f to your RM command to get a confirmation...
  Read the man people. RTFM is still a good advice.
  
  I mean.
  People have been saying "press alt F4 to change your IRC nick" or whatever for several decades
- -force -recursive but I like the way you think

don't forget no-preserve-root to remove all the roots and prevent it from getting reinstalled
- since it affects /* and not / no-preserve-root isn't needed
- 'root' referred to the Fr*nch root words

for real

I think that was a load-bearing language pack - my entire system has caved-in!

Yeah and an old joke that doesn't even work anymore since.. decades, now? For those kind of folders, extra flags are required
- since it affects /* and not / the extra flag isn't necessary

Also, remember to empty your recycle bin by doing sudo rf -rm /usr/bin, and don't forget the super recycle bin for hidden super garbage sudo rm -rf /usr/sbin

I've never actually tried this but feel like rm should have a built in warning specifically for that command letting them know they've been trolled and have a y/N prompt.
- There kind of is one, but it is overridden by -f
  
  You also need the flag "--no-preserve-root".
- Come on, it is super fun. Just install VirtualBox and set up a virtual machine, make sure there is no funky mount point that touches your host machine, and go nuke that VM !
- You can create an alias in ".bashrc" just in case.

Fixed timezone issues. Thank you.

Didn't know we could say the f-word on Lemmy

do you hear the people sing
- i hear they sing vaguely swear-y words

What's wrong with the French language pack?
- Not enough baguette 🥖
  
  au bon pain
- Omelette du fromage
  
  🎶That's all you can say-y🎶
- It's in French.
  
  HE SAID IT HE SAID IT RUN DOR YOUR LILOCED AAAAAAAAAAA. AAAAAAAAAA OH NO IM BEING INFECTEF WIV DER FR🐸🐸🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮NCH AAAAAA JE LUV ZE BEAUGUTES N ZE SNAILS BEACOUP HONHONHOMHOMHON
- chocolatine
  
  Lalatina

That's racist
But also, please do this if you're a true American patriot...
- Guys, think about it before you downvote...

Pourquoi ?

That's a big egg. Of course, egg is just how you say oof when you remove the french language pack.
- Œuf
