What about ULTRA FRENCH?
be sure to add -no-preserve-root to make sure ultra french is gone too
no need, since /* doesn't start at root, it'll not trip the safety
I think you’re wrong but I’m not willing to test it to see
Pussy
the shell expands it to rm -fr /bin /etc /usr /home /dev and so on. rm never sees the /, so the safety doesn't trigger
virtual machines
trying to remove ULTRAFRENCH is a fool's errand
That means we are still missing Swiss French
What about French Ceole? Can't be too certain.
Please do not be racist to us French people, it is for that reason I have down voted your post today
If I had got one nickel every time I saw this meme on the Fediverse, I'd have about a quarter dollar, which is not very much but it's still more US currency than I have had in my entire life.
jokes on you when you get canadian nickels
Can't wait for those to go the way of the penny.
If you're Canadian, I'm willing to send you several US currency for a bag or two of All Dressed chips!
Wait, does the rest of the US not have these?
They show up very rarely when Frito Lays wants to do a limited release, but they're not something I usually see in my local grocery stores anymore.
As an American based on the amount of random Canadian currency I've had In my hands having never been north of the border I can only assume if they were Canadian they would have accidentally had more than a quarter us dollar in random US change in their entire life.
You’re just acting Loony.
I'm not a fan of this one. It is kind of funny but, I'm also just too worried that some gullible Linux newbies will take this as real advice and be caused great emotional, and potentially financial, tragedy.
Eh, not really anymore. Now you need to run it with the option --no-preserve-root flag or something like that in order for it to do irrivokable damage
Not if you do "/*". The warning only appears if you try to remove "/"
You could always just reinstall from a usb boot drive lol
sudo rm -fr --no-cap /*
Zut alors! Règle!
Always the french sneaking their way into my Nelgish only system. (Idk history, probably not accurate)
