- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

I only have one alias: alias rm=trash-rm
EDIT: Sorry. It's actually alias rm=trash
Should that not be alias rm=trash-put ?
My distro tells me that trash-rm comes from the package trash-cli and the README of that says that trash-rm removes files from the trashcan.
Yeah I was mistaken. It's actually alias rm=trash (not trash-put either)
@KindaABigDyl @_thebrain_ what is trash-rm?
Should be just trash not trash-rm, but it's like the other person said, when you go to rm, it moves it to trash now, instead of deleting, since usually I don't want to truly delete things (i.e., I don't raw delete when using a GUI, so I'm bringing that behavior to CLI as well)
You can ofc still use the old rm and do full deletion. Either sudo rm (unless root also has rm aliased) or /bin/rm
But also you can do rm then trash-empty for the same behavior.
I'm actually trying a new alias alias del=/bin/rm so that I have a quick way to get the old behavior.

Me an intellectual: just have and alias for lx which points to eza.
What's wrong? This is based for every sys-admin getting an emergency call at Friday night when drinks was half price.
I don't relate personally
alias pqsl='psql'
I have all variations of quit and exit in CS2 aliased.
