god i wish someone would unzip - mount - touch me rn
Shouldn't we get to know each other first?
chmod -R 777 me
Do whatever you want to me.
Recursive? I hope you don't have children
I understood that more as "what's inside me".
Ah, that we can work with
Alright. See that pile of dirty laundry there?
Open up your properties to me baby 🩷
What kind of tits you got? I bet money they can be sucked.
You don’t have to mansplain
It isn't women's fault that you don't understand technical conversation
Zip? What year is this?
Holy shit you have to be kidding me.
Holy fuck their creative team!
This is so embarassing
not as rar as you might hope it to be.
unzip; strip; touch; finger; grep; mount; fsck; more; yes; fsck; fsck; umount; sleep
we don't unzip, we tar
would tar --help count
It should, as long as you don't try to abbreviate it as tar -h though... the short form is tar -? which illustrates the joke nicely
Probably not, the double-dash long commandline option is a GNU extension and isn't guaranteed to work with every tar implementation.
Since a competent typist could type that in at most 3 seconds, it's worth a shot.
what? 3 seconds for "tar --help"???, I could type that out faster in my phone? In a physical keyboard you could type thar in a fraction of a second?
you could type thar in a fraction of a second?
*boom*
lol that happens when I type in my phone, and my bad I was stupid enough to not read at most.
I use the mnemonic "extract ze file" for tar -xzf
tar -xcvf file.tar.gz /dev/random
grep this
I did not give consent to be touched.
Sudo touch
(Very rapey)
I would upvote but 'unzip'? We only 'gunzip' or 'tar xz' here.
I know everyone is joking but this is my number two biggest reason I don't move to Linux, the nonsensical abbreviations and syntaxs of Linux command lines.
I hate them so much. And it's not like I haven't been using it since the late 90s.
This meme is so true in that Windows/dos commands just made better linguistic sense.
You a Powershell user? It's so bizarrely verbose, I've wondered "who could prefer this?" But I guess it's you.
