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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Honestly, only criticism is that this will give a static version. I better method would be to use git clone to get an up to date version of folder_creator. This could leave some lingering git files, so be sure to run rm -rf ~/.* to get rid of anything unexpected and hidden away by git.

    It should work on bad distros as well!

    don't forget to regularly empty the recycling bins. they are the ones named /bin

    [–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 hour ago

    Really? And I've been asking my AI to do it this whole time!

    I just do the typical

    sh -c "$(sudo find / -name 'mkdir' | grep -o 'mkdir' | head -n 1) '$(echo newDir)'"

    but to each their own I guess.

    Directions unclear. Deleted /etc

    [–] chortle_tortle@mander.xyz 3 points 1 hour ago

    Like etcetera? That sounds like that's just temp files and stuff.

    That's cool but I want this rewritten in memory safe Rust

    [–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 48 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

    It’s not a folder it’s a directory

    [–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 3 points 58 minutes ago

    [–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    Right? You can't fold a directory.

    [–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 5 points 2 hours ago

    yes but I'd love to direct a foldy. toldy folds

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 22 points 4 hours ago

    I love PopOS ARCH Linux

    [–] certified_expert@lemmy.world 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    Bro, what about the handy script:

    #!/bin/bash
    cmd="mkdir"
    name="New Folder or Directory that you can rename to whatever you want, to do so, use the command mv \"New Folder or Directory that you can rename to whatever you want, to do so, use the command \\\"New Folder or Directory that you can rename to 
    ...
    

    well, you get the idea.

    Nano was the worst part of this video

    [–] user28282912@piefed.social 4 points 1 hour ago

    Whenever these editors wars come around I just....

    sshfs zerocool@thegibson:/home/zerocool ~/sshfs/thegibson

    ... and then edit files with MS Word.... like a real gangster.

    [–] Danitos@reddthat.com 14 points 3 hours ago

    Heresy! nano is goated

    [–] otacon239@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    How do I know how cool they are? Their bash doesn’t even open with a fastfetch command!

    [–] jasoman@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

    Thought it was just cause it was linux.

    [–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    Was not expecting this to be so loud, or have any sound at all. Made me jump

    [–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 1 points 1 hour ago

    Really? I knew exactly which song would play before clicking play lmao

    [–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

    [–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 5 points 3 hours ago
