Feels more polite for sure.

Life pro tip: good manners make it easier to get what you want
ACTUAL good advice?! Is that even allowed here??
Only once per quarter, and only incomplete rules to the advice. This particular instance of advice is barely skirting the standards and norms.
please rm -rf /*
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...?"
In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest "pls".
Try "Bruh"
Bruh shutdown
Or icanhaz
Maybe pls for the su command?
gooby pls
alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"
please shutdown; thanks
alias sudo fucking
fucking systemctl restart firewalld.service
fucking shutdown
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
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.
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)
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.
robm@homebox ~$ please su
[sudo] password for robm:
robm is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
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.
alias srsly="sudo !!"
Aurenkin is not in the pleasers file. This incident will be reported.
I prefer an alias that actually reflects my feelings.
alias didistutter="sudo"
alias didistutter="sudo !!"
I'd recommend this version so you don't actually have to repeat yourself.
We need more women in tech.
you can always become the woman in tech

- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
