There you go, kids! Behold, The Future™!

Having RAM prices skyrocket 9000% and all the ecological destruction was totally worth it for a future that’s continvoucly morged!

It’s like Suzanne, the Blender monke ❤️ 🐵

you can also alias rm to run sl instead :)

Choo-choo!!

Hehe I just thought of a hilariously nefarious prank: alias ls to sl. 😂

That’s certainly something you can do! I would personally follow the recommendation against aliasing rm though, either just using the trash tool’s auto complete or a different alias altogether.

Reason being as someone mentioned below: You don’t want to give yourself a false sense of security or complacency with such a dangerous command, especially if you use multiple systems.

I liken it to someone starting to handle weapons more carelessly because the one they have at home is “never loaded.” Better safe than sorry.

Lol we should have “rules of rm safety”:

• Assume rm is always sudo unless proven otherwise.
• (EDIT)Finger should be off the Enter key until you are certain you are ready to delete.
• Never point rm at something you aren’t willing to permanently destroy.
• Always be aware of your target directory, and what is recursively behind it!

OOOOOOOOOOOF!!

One trick I use, because I’m SUPER paranoid about this, is to mv things I intend to delete to /tmp, or make /tmp/trash or something.

That way, I can move it back if I have a “WHAT HAVE I DONE!?” moment, or it just deletes itself upon reboot.

As the old saying goes: “Copper is copper!”

Good point and agreed! I’m a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source where I found it.

At first glance I thought the poster coincidentally found these images side by side in their gallery, and that’s where the humor was.

Even though that poster clearly got it secondhand too, I didn’t wanna be “ripping them off” lol.

I edited the post to include the raw image. Thanks for clearing up community expectations / culture for me though. :)
