I shared this with my wife. She said "It sounds like pangolin programming."

Yeah, I will never say please to an algorithm.

Maybe if we get true AI like Star Treks Data, but until then, STFU and do what I tell you

Are you trying to tell us that you renamed “sudo” as “STFU”?

I was surprised to find that my distro (CachyOS) already has this alias

Ah yes you're right, had to look it up to see for myself. It's weird because i remember specifically changing some of my &&s for ; instead because i wanted it to not continue if exit wasn't zero, but i must've misread it at the time. Time to change it back i guess lol.

For me, it's "pwease" because I like that sub relationship.

Besides what Ephera@lemmy.ml said, you would also need to handle the escalation at every place you might have a permission related error. Unless your command alwaysneeds to run as root, so you can check once in the beginning, it would be cumbersome and error prone.

Also, sometimes in multi users environments, you might want to execute as 3rd user, not root or your own, if something fails.

Is there anything in these agents that blocks sudo? I don't think this would be necessary.

This is something I've been doing since before AI, so it's not that... but yeah.

oh hell yeah this is the exact level of goofyness i need right now.

I'll fuckin' do it again, ayuck!

Does that expand properly? My gut feeling is that the !! expands right away, not when you run srsly but when you define it.

It makes more sense if you think of semicolons like other programming languages like Java and C use it.

foo();
bar();

But those languages allow foo(); bar(); as well. Then && works like a normal short circuited expression (with side effects).

True, but it can be a good training to be a nice person in general, no? Wouldn’t hurt to include a "please" and the likes once in a while

I always preferred the version where please="sudo !!", but I recently tried setting it up and couldn't get it to work on fish, sadly.

I remember setting this up with zsh and it didn't work either. IIRC I had to use history to access the last command but it failed in some cases so I stopped using it altogether )=

I don't say please and thank you to any inanimate objects whatsoever and if I were to begin doing so (which I will never do) computers would be the very last to receive that treatment from me. Personifying computers is not practice for how to treat people. Fuck clankers

please rm - rf 🙏

My pet shark thanks its toaster

Linux isn't an algorithm though

Just aliased it to "Computer," so it feels more like Star Trek

will probably continue typing sudo tho

Elite Pink Guy reference

please touch me

This reminds me of INTERCAL.

Unfortunately no longer maintained, but in case you didn't see the other reply: https://codeberg.org/iff/pay-respects

alias sudo='Please'
alias rm -rf ='thank you'

Please thank you

Partly right in bash:

set -e; echo 1; echo 2;

is the same as

echo 1 && echo 2

So if you see the -e in a script, it's to keep the function clean.

User is not in the pleaser file. This incident will be reported.

alias doasisay="su -u passwordlessrootaccount"  
alias satisfyme="echo Yes Master; doasisay"  

You forgot the -v flag to watch your dreams die in real time!

The linux kernel, given my very pedestrian understanding of it, is a program that allows other programs (e.g., GNU utilities) to talk to a computer system's hardware.

Therefore, linux could be considered a collection of algorithms that can be modularly compiled to handle:

• Resource Alocation
• Memory Management
• Abstraction

is a program that allows other programs (e.g., GNU utilities) to talk to a computer system’s hardware.

Therefore, linux could be considered a collection of algorithms

By that logic, Linux is also a web browser or a video game, which it isn't

I'm a new windows emigrant, so I don't have that muscle memory.... so I am getting used more easily to using fish's ALT+S to sudo the previous command.

EDIT: @Alaknar@sopuli.xyz I just checked that !! works too for me, apparently because of this: https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-bang-bang

It's a reference to a comic where Goofy murdered children lol, but yeah, Pink Guy may have said it too.

You're using a logical fallacy called reductio ad absurdum. You take my interpretation of Linux's definition to an extreme to make it look ridiculous.

To be fair to you and remain taxonomically accurate, the linux kernel is a system of algorithms, which (to be fair to me) can be considered an algorithm (the main loop) of algorithms.

please touch my.butt

$ man woman
No manual entry for woman

🤷‍♂️

alias please='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'

And I've never asked it to do anything, I always tell it to do what it needs to do and it does it exactly as asked

Why? It does what it needs to do without whining, so it does exactly what it needs to do. No renaming needed

alias thus speaks the Lord='sudo'
