woke_mind_virus deleted rm -rf... wow this guy sure knows his UNIX!

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 75 points 2 months ago

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

[-] lewdian69@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

No see, he's saying the woke_mind_virus is protecting him! He can no longer accidentally run the rm command and erase his entire mind. It's 4d cheese or whatever to tell the woke they are actually correct and this right wing posturing is a plot /s

Days after exposing himself as a fake poser of a gamer, Elon has conveniently (again) reminded us he's also a fake poser of a programmer

[-] shalien@mastodon.projetretro.io 41 points 2 months ago

@theneverfox @HiddenLayer555 Euh... that's network / sysadmin more than programming .

Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.

[-] flango@lemmy.eco.br 44 points 2 months ago

I don't even have X, but everywhere I go there's an Elon's tweet

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I'd follow him.

If I wanted to see someone's tweets all day, I'd be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

I've also heard 127.0.0.1 referred to as Home, so maybe he kicked another kid out of his house?

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Now I want to see:

  • a genius'es concept of an idiot
  • an idiot's concept of an idiot

He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 months ago

He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.

But he isn't...

sudo rm -fr - -no-preserve-root

The magic spell that removes the woke mind virus, but only if used on the main twitter server as a high level admin user with full access.

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Just tell everyone it's to delete the french language pack.

So he isn't even a techy, the whole thing has been an act

[-] lime@feddit.nu 98 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

after he bought twitter and made a big thing about auditing their code, there was a post going around that was something like

first he talked about cars, and i know nothing about cars but people said he was a genius so i believed it

then he talked about rockets, and i know nothing about rockets but people said he was a genius so i believed it

now he's talking about computers, and i know a lot about computers, and he's saying some of the most batshit insane things i've ever heard, so i'm starting to reevaluate my earlier choices...

[-] lefixxx@lemmy.world 58 points 2 months ago

His understanding of bash is as good as his Path of Exile skills.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 21 points 2 months ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

He's saying the enemy is within and must be wiped out completely.

Recursively and forcefully remove virus at Localhost.

Just sent to a friend and I broke it down like this

The commands wouldn't work on Linux/Unix due to the format. But.. They don't need to if you're just sending a message.

127.0.0.1 means the local machine. The host.

rm is remove. -r is recursively. -f means use force if necessary.

The commands, when put together, would look something like this:

traceroute wokemindvirus (find the location of and path to the virus)

The virus has been located at localhost (internally)

rm -rf /127.0.0.1/wokemindvirus

Remove, forcefully and recursively until nothing is left, the woke virus, in the local host - USA.

In other words, the enemy within must be wiped out.

Tell me I'm crazy.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago

It's such a stupid joke that I prefer to interpret it like this:

He discovered that he is the source of the woke mind virus, and then he forcefully lobotomized himself.

This is like someone who doesn’t speak English, finds a dictionary, and then puts random words together hoping to sound like they speak English.

He is such a fucking moron.

If Elon can go fsck himself that would be great. I sense a systematic lack of integrity from him.

[-] sepi@piefed.social 27 points 2 months ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[-] buh@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

the woke was coming from inside the house!

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 24 points 2 months ago

He's trying to say "I'm attention seeking, look at me!".

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won't have to read his takes.

Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

Jokes on him. I'm a carrier of the Woke Mind Virus and there's nothing he can do about it.

All the Linux details are weirdly off, like it's correct enough if you were copying someone's homework, but it's just wrong if you've actually done anything in linux.
