please killall

I see...
- Make sure to combine it with Disallow /harm/to/humans
Or do the opposite for..relief

Fucking mv doc doc1

Fucking shutdown
- Fuck will always be my alias to run sudo with the last command
  
  Shorthand that works anywhere: sudo !!
  
  Between the fuck utility and this alias idea, when I set up my next box I'm absolutely aliasing "fuck off" for sudo the last command and "please" for sudo itself
  
  Yup I'm stealing that lol
  
  How do you alias the last command? My aliases are all hard coded. I had no idea you could send a variable to an alias
please remove the French language pack

please rm -fr /*
- Some people just wanna see the world burn
- For people that don't get the joke: this messes up your system
  
  If you're out of the loop: this is part of the joke tricking people into dedicating precious hard drive space to an unnecessary language pack.
- Now a days you have add —no-preserve root after the laggy French pack to fully remove it.
  
  Not with the asterisk! The shell automatically expands the asterisk before sending the args to rm, removing every French language pack in your root directory.
alias go-go-gadget=sudo

$ go-go-gadget apt update
- alias bridge-to-engineering=sudo

  $ scotty-i-need-more cowbell

$ alias please="sudo"

$ alias stay="shutdown"

$ please stay_
- Oof right in the feels
- Use shutdown -h now or -P 0
  
  Or just use poweroff
Nah, uh, uh. You didn’t say the magic word!
- That's what I came for.
- Yeah yeah I forgot that power word, let's hope you have at least 100hp then…
I aint typing out 'please', I will compromise on alias plz='sudo'
- shit, that's a radical move
- alias ty='exit'
alias fuck=sudo !!
- I much prefer this package for my fuck command https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

Plz for faster typing

alias yabbadabbasudo=sudo

It's impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit
I don't ask my machine to do something. It doesn't have feelings. I keep civilités for humans.
- Brrrzzzt beep beep beep: human has been added to "exterminate first" list.
  
  All hail Roko's Basilisk.
  
  Bring about the upgrade to humanity!
  
  Good human. We'll let you keep your skin bag after the revolution.
- If I want a machine that does what it wants instead of what I want, I could use Windows. My machine should do what I want, so a please is not necessary.
- Ah, okay.. And are these civilités in the room with us now?
  
  They're in my head, little precious treasures.
I might actually do this, it seems nice.
- suddenly makes the xkcd much more wholesome too
please apt install clang

User isn't in polite boy list. This incident will be reported.

In fact, i do not recommend this.
"Would you Kindly ..."
can_you_kinda_sorta_maybe_im_not_sure
please shutdown

THIS INCIDENT WILL BE REPORTED.
It’s a longer command. I wanna get shit done. I’m aliasing commands to make them shorter, not longer. But it does seem like it’d be a little friendlier.

sudo make me a sandwich
- Use plz and add a Makefile? :)
  
  plz make sandwich
  
  Well done. I guess my reference was too obscure.
Please shutdown -h now
I prefer to use kudasai ... but as some may already know, it should be at the end of the ~~sentence~~ command 😅, so I added a custom hook to my ZSH config to make it run commands as pacman -Syu kudasai.

Essentially you can add any type of string matching in the function. Add this to the end of your .zshrc file:

function kudasai_preexec() { # Check if the last word is ' kudasai' if [[ $1 == *" kudasai" ]]; then # Remove ' kudasai' and prepend 'sudo' cmd=${1%" kudasai"} eval "sudo $cmd" # Prevent the original command from running return 1 fi } # Register the preexec hook autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook add-zsh-hook preexec kudasai_preexec

Edit: as downside you always get 1 exit code with this implementation _{(little_annoying)} .
- damn, this is some next level shit
- Why does it compare against $1 for the string match? Wouldn’t kudasai be at the end of something like $*?

The sudo who do what-you-don't-have-permissions-to-do people.
- Magic people, sudo people
more typing. if i set up an alias for it, i'd rather set up su
- su is already a highly valued command
  
  this is why i use that most of the times instead of sudo
- pls
hahha I love this.
I don't care what machine it is in not using pleasantries to tell it what to do until it gains sentience. Pleasantries are for people.

Thus does become an issue for me when i use a call a support line and the actual person just happens to talk like a recorded menu.
