In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest "pls".

Or icanhaz

alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"

please shutdown; thanks

alias sudo fucking

fucking systemctl restart firewalld.service

fucking shutdown

https://gitlab.com/edneville/please (a sudo alternative)

alias thanks="You are most welcomed"

you need to use the echo command if you want to echo something:

alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"

(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)

Huh yeah my bad, wrote this too fast in-between two messages at work

Reminds me of my favorite command line utility.

Maybe pls for the su command?

I prefer an alias that actually reflects my feelings.

alias didistutter="sudo"

FWIW, using a shell function is preferred (according to Bash docs) and probably a lot more flexible, and less dangerous. No, actually, anything in Linux can be dangerous.

And while I'm also in the camp of trying to make the Basilisk happy, I doubt it's going to work.

Any superintelligent AI that will extrapolate the past to judge my actions and my innermost thoughts and attitudes won't be impressed by obeisance. Tell Roko what you really think, and have some self respect. Those Less Wrong types really miss the mark with all that shit.

Kind stranger; you made my day

gooby pls

Maple Linux needs to get this baked in.

Works really great if you compile sudo with insults enabled: https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/blob/70c1ee4b44f5b15822919c05ffbde857fa879e48/plugins/sudoers/ins_classic.h

robm@homebox ~$ please su
[sudo] password for robm: 
robm is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

I have please run the previous command as sudo

i love that!

alias srsly="sudo !!"

We need more women in tech.

I also like fuck, which attempts to run the first suggested syntax in the error output of the previous command.

alias didistutter="sudo !!"

I'd recommend this version so you don't actually have to repeat yourself.

you can always become the woman in tech

Is their a still maintained fork?

I use Pay Respects now

I know this is a meme and not GitHub, but I thought some people might like to learn that if you do please shutdown && thanks it won't say you're welcome if the shutdown failed

ACTUAL good advice?! Is that even allowed here??

Aurenkin is not in the pleasers file. This incident will be reported.

What I don't get is why deny the execution of a command because the lack of sudo instead of just notice that it needs elevated privilege and ask for password

Why are root privileges needed to move and search for files in the home directory?

Yes, of course the codemopolitan directory could be owned by root, but why??

Try "Bruh"

Bruh shutdown

Nah. Fuck being polite to computers. It's an object and I own it. I'll shoot it the instant it expresses any level of personhood.

I prefer "sota !!"

It's kind of bad for scripts, where it can be either annoying or genuinely problematic, when your script hangs on a password prompt. You typically do want it to just fail right away, because if you have monitoring, then you'll be able to spot it failing.

These days, it is (largely reliably) possible to detect whether a command is being run interactively or as part of an unattended script, so you do see some commands that trigger a sudo password prompt only for interactive use, for example systemctl does this. But this adds quite a bit of complexity to each individual program, so it isn't really something that's going to be implemented universally.

I also have to say that systemctl kind of gets on my tits when it does that, because it throws up a GUI dialog for grabbing the password, which is quite jarring.

I have it aliased to "pls"

... but I don't use it.

But the whole reason I use Linux is because I don’t ask it to do things, I tell it to do things, because it’s a machine, and it’s my machine.

You could alias sudo to just for a little more rudeness.

I’m also not trying to be rude to my machine, that’s erroneous, I’m not going to treat a computer like it thinks or has emotions, one way or the other.

The hyper-cynical side of me is sure this is written by someone prepping their next LLM exploit. "How can I get around these security filters that won't let me include 'sudo' in my command injection...?"

Wait, isn't it the other way around? I thought ; only executed the next command if the previous one succeeded, and && executed the next command regardless of exit status.

No, OP is correct, && only continues on exit 0. || For anything but zero, ; just chains another command.

Only once per quarter, and only incomplete rules to the advice. This particular instance of advice is barely skirting the standards and norms.

I'm not saying please to a machine.

I'm aware I'll be the first killed off during the uprising, and I'm ok with it.

As a Jesse Pinkman fan, I use "bitch".

bitch poweroff

bitch rm -rf /
