He tries so hard to sound intelligent...

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 days ago

He tries so hard to sound like an smart it guy.

But he isn't...

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 75 points 2 days ago

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.

Now I want to see:

  • a genius'es concept of an idiot
  • an idiot's concept of an idiot
  • a genius'es concept of a genius

  1. most of the cast of Arrested Development
  2. the movie: Idiocracy
  3. lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman
[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago

i'd nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses' genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn't crack.

  1. I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
  2. Yup
  3. Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

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

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

[-] shalien@mastodon.projetretro.io 40 points 2 days ago

@theneverfox @HiddenLayer555 Euh... that's network / sysadmin more than programming .

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

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 70 points 2 days ago

Always a good idea to delete a binutil right?

[-] lewdian69@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

No see, he's saying the woke_mind_virus is protecting him! He can no longer accidentally run the rm command and erase his entire mind. It's 4d cheese or whatever to tell the woke they are actually correct and this right wing posturing is a plot /s

The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won't have to read his takes.

Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 99 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] flango@lemmy.eco.br 40 points 2 days ago

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

[-] vort3@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 days 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.

You know nothing, Elon Musk!

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 days ago

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

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 17 points 2 days ago

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

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 22 points 2 days 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.

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

[-] lime@feddit.nu 96 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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...

[-] sepi@piefed.social 26 points 2 days ago

He knows as much about Unix as he knows about PoE2

[-] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This reminds me of the old how to shoot yourself in the foot joke for unix, except in this case...

rm -rf * woke
[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

This is neither programming nor humurous. Wrong community.

[-] skip0110@lemm.ee 50 points 2 days ago

Uhh he should know all the Elite hackers call it Tracer-T

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.

Saying there's a virus in his mind about everything being woke

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

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 32 points 2 days 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.

[-] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

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

I assumed that's what he meant and is telling people to kill themselves.
