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.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 57 minutes ago

That's just inverse South African notation.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 5 points 35 minutes ago

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

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 54 minutes ago

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

[–] rarbg@lemmy.zip 2 points 22 minutes ago

So saying he woke woke?

[–] the_three_tomatoes@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago

He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 11 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.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 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.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour 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.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 19 points 4 hours ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 81 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 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?

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Or deleted his own home to remove the wokeness

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Precisely, thank you for illustrating.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 16 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 20 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 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.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

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

Scanning 104.244.42.129 for fascist_bullshit

fascist_bullshit found!

Adding host to block list.

[–] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 10 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 167 points 11 hours ago (5 children)

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

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

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 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.

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 hours ago

Monetize this spam with $8 donations please.

[–] flango 28 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 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.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 56 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] lime@feddit.nu 88 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...
