To he fair, it is removing the french language pack (if installed).
- Well, technically yeah. But at what cost?
  
  I removed the French language pack
  
  What did it cost you?
  
  Everything
  
  None. Just profit.

I just se saved 206 GiB on my drive. Thanks!

Who knew the funny diacritics used so much storage?
sudo rm -fr /* is short for sudo rm --for-real /*
- Super-do real-magic --for-real /* (<- that's a magic wand)
  
  Lmaooooo
  
  Su means substitute user, not super user
  
  I thought it begins a comment.
- Remember that AI answer that said that adding -f option was to get a confirmation before deletion ?
  
  I'm a bit concerned that this kind of meme will get a lot more real when people will blindly trust AI for commands.
  
  Unfortunately I couldn't find the post in question but if I recall it was GitHub AI telling boldly that you can add -f to your RM command to get a confirmation...
  
  Read the man people. RTFM is still a good advice.
  
  I mean.
  People have been saying "press alt F4 to change your IRC nick" or whatever for several decades
- -force -recursive but I like the way you think
don't forget no-preserve-root to remove all the roots and prevent it from getting reinstalled
- since it affects /* and not / no-preserve-root isn't needed
- 'root' referred to the Fr*nch root words
for real
I think that was a load-bearing language pack - my entire system has caved-in!
I've never actually tried this but feel like rm should have a built in warning specifically for that command letting them know they've been trolled and have a y/N prompt.
- There kind of is one, but it is overridden by -f
  
  You also need the flag "--no-preserve-root".
- Come on, it is super fun. Just install VirtualBox and set up a virtual machine, make sure there is no funky mount point that touches your host machine, and go nuke that VM !
- You can create an alias in ".bashrc" just in case.
Fixed timezone issues. Thank you.
Didn't know we could say the f-word on Lemmy
do you hear the people sing
That's racist

But also, please do this if you're a true American patriot...
- Guys, think about it before you downvote...
What's wrong with the French language pack?
Pourquoi ?
Hon hon hon
That's a big egg. Of course, egg is just how you say oof when you remove the french language pack.
- Œuf
nixos peeps: 😎
