Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib

    Ain't nobody owning these libs

    [–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

    only if chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib returns a nonzero status code right?

    [–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 35 points 1 week ago

    Chowning the libs.

    [–] piefood@piefed.social 76 points 1 week ago

    Wouldn't that be getting rid of the libs?

    I think this would be 'owning' the libs:
    chown -R $(whoami) /usr/lib

    [–] eric5949@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

    No I'm pretty sure that would be chown

    [–] Object@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    [main@nixos-laptop:~]$ ls /usr/lib

    ls: cannot access '/usr/lib': No such file or directory

    ...success?

    [–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    Why does that shift key say delete?

    Also that usually doesn’t execute a typed in line.

    I’m confused.

    [–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 19 points 1 week ago

    Looks like a perfectly normal "Enter" key on an ANSI keyboard. Why the confusion?

    [–] Cargon@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Looks like the return key, must be an AI keyboard.

    [–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

    Must be some obscure keyboard layout.

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    This is the Enter key, Shift is right below

    For the sake of memes, Enter is commonly replaced with something like "delete" or "destroy" or "ban" or whatever, illustrating the decisive action. It has nothing to do with the actual Delete key.

    Out of the loop ? Let me explain :
    The text in the image is a computer command that can run on Unix Linux computers and it removes an important part of the operating system that is called "lib".

    After running this successfully, part of the operating system would have to be reinstalled.

    The joke is that "lib" can also mean liberal which is one of the denomination for Democratic party members in the USA.

    That (joke) would be an attack on this group by the saying : "owning the liberals".

    [–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

    elon would probably do this for real if you told him it owned the libs

    [–] SouthFresh@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    Ahem....

    chown [OWNER] /usr/lib

    I was beaten by InEnduringGrowStrong, whomst's is better.

    [–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    serious: how important is that to the system? and how destructive is it?

    [–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

    Those are libraries used by user space applications. Most distros won't boot without them, but you can still get into a recovery shell.

    One one will set my defaults but myself
