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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice

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

So saying he woke woke?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 55 minutes ago

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This seems like it makes sense on at least 2 levels, either because he's saying he at some point had the 'woke mind virus' and deleted it, or more likely he's saying this is what people need to do to 'free' themselves of the 'woke mind virus'.

You don't have to endorse it to understand it. I don't really understand Hazel's confusion.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 hour ago

The confusion is an affectation they're putting on because the execution of the joke is just so poor.

I especially love that he didn't say where he was running rm -rf and I like to believe it's from root, so he lobotomized himself.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 hours ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Or deleted his own home to remove the wokeness

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Precisely, thank you for illustrating.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Obligatory: not mine just pulled from Google images. Looks like morning brew logo in the corner

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 47 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago

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

gameindustry.eu/ good site for tracker blocking etc in games

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

I think his school teachers, diagnosing him as retarded, were spot on.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 57 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

He's saying what everyone else already knows. He's infected and diseased

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 83 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours 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...
