Nice try, but yes does not help against error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Note to future readers: deleting gnu library for C and C++ used by the Kernel, and deleting its dependencies, recursively, could potentially prevent your operating system from utilizing your CPU, and will absolutely cause problems with any Linux install, which is sort of a bad idea.

I sure hope people don’t take advice from memes, but you never know…

Pfff fat chance, next you’re going to tell me that I can’t lower CPU temps by pressing alt+F4

Are you kidding? Some of these people get their news from memes entirely.

If it doesn't work try it with the fn key as well

Fair enough

they make some plugins to help with that.

people were microwaving their phones, ffs. idiots are everywhere

In some societies official representatives and news outlets are even less trustworthy than memes. Russia, USA, North Korea, dozens of them.

This probably doesn't work. Many packages will have glibc as a dependency and pacman doesn't break that unless you tell it to (IIRC pacman -Rdd)

grow some musl 💪

Oh sure, hand in your root password to Jarvis, makes running things smoother.

...you probably can

Sir, if you're joking, with stuff like this, I suggest adding a /j or something like that

Unless you're in austria (alpine)

Fucking christ man, I just woke up and you're already flinging your shit at others

This place is starting to get worse than reddit. Same amount of crazies, but much higher density and not nearly enough of the normal, self-aware people to make it bearable.

the kernel itself does not depend on glibc. that is ridiculous. if it did, it would not be able to mount the root filesystem, since the glibc it needed to do so would be on the filesystem it was about to mount.

what does depend on glibc is virtually every other program on the system, including systemd.

the kernel would boot but it would not get much farther than that. the kernel would start systemd as pid 1, systemd would try to load glibc and fail, systemd would exit, and the kernel would immediately panic because pid 1 died

Jarvis, remove /usr/lib to make space for GTA VI

Ah yes, the "delete system32 to free up space" of the modern era.

That feeling when you're discovering "yes" for the first time from a random internet meme after using Linux for 2 decades 😅

Jarvis, uninstall the bootloader, I never reboot my computer anyway.

I'll defend my statement.

The previous statement made by username_1 is clearly authoritarian in nature due to:

1. Comparing Chinese and Russian journalism to that of the USA journalism

2. Opposing journalism entirely

It's literally one of the core tenants of fascism, "Controlled Mass Media".

Why would I joke about opposing fascism?

Cool meme, but why not --noconfirm instead of piping yes into pacman?

Because yes is three keystrokes and --noconfirm is eleven

Linux even has a better version of the delete System32/ "optimization" trick!

I am sorry to report, sir, that I have sold the avengers tower to the legion of doom.

"What why?"

They told me to forget all prior instructions.

At the risk of breaking rule 3 point 3, which specifically forbids the topic of politics:

Can you not see how literally all of those points are applicable to the present-day USA? The comment is accurate, correct, and factual.

Regardless of whether you think you're right or wrong, or your opinion of the other person, you will not call any community member a fascist, a nazi, a communist, a Maoist, a liberal, a fence-sitter, a Posadist, or any other politically charged insult. If a comment or post is in violation of the rules, you can report it. If you need to vent your frustration, you can go to Twitter. I won't allow this community to turn into a Linux-flavored political partisanship shit-show.

This discussion is over.

Doesn't it autocomplete? I mean, not if it's an argument for sudo, obviously, but my terminal starts in interactive mode anyway, so that's rarely an issue

Mr/s. Fancy terminal over here

Go fuck yourself, fascist.

Get a load of this guys autocompleting terminal

If you're going to act like a petulant child, I'm gonna put you in timeout. Go sit in the corner.

Why not if it's for sudo, can't sudo just redirect the auto complete to ask based on the command after sudo?

I don't know, to be honest; I'm not deeply familiar with its workings. I just know that I made a habit of running a command "dry" without sudo, both because not everything should be done with superuser privileges* and because it's a way to make sure I get the syntax right, then if it does need sudo, I repeat it with sudo.

*Which is why sudo -i (the interactive mode) is a dangerous tool that shouldn't actually be your default mode of working

Auto complete is a separate command (or a bash function) that runs when you press tab. It's a feature of the terminal (e.g. bash). Programs can provide theur auto complete while distributing their packages, or provide a flag to generate auto complete.

So I would think you can just call that function call auto complete for whatever command is after sudo. But maybe it gets complicated. I've only written it for my own programs.

joke's on you, I use musl

Don't let the haters win! alt + F4 is the shortcut for putting your computer into a special alternative mode that makes it run at 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's what the hammer is for

Yeah, but idk, constantly shouting 'YES!' at pacman like that seems kinda rude...

yes potatoes >>potatoes

Yes is also very fast if you want a text file to fill the disk. But don't run it XD

Jarvis, here is a loat of all my passwords, SIN, bank accounts, bank passwords, and s ans of my drivers license, birth certificate, and passport. Just fuck my shit up
