Ain't nobody owning these libs
only if chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/lib returns a nonzero status code right?
Chowning the libs.
For best results, use: clown
Wouldn't that be getting rid of the libs?
I think this would be 'owning' the libs:
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/lib
No I'm pretty sure that would be chown
Why does that shift key say delete?
Also that usually doesnβt execute a typed in line.
Iβm confused.
Looks like a perfectly normal "Enter" key on an ANSI keyboard. Why the confusion?
Looks like the return key, must be an AI keyboard.
Must be some obscure keyboard layout.
This is the Enter key, Shift is right below
For the sake of memes, Enter is commonly replaced with something like "delete" or "destroy" or "ban" or whatever, illustrating the decisive action. It has nothing to do with the actual Delete key.
[main@nixos-laptop:~]$ ls /usr/lib
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib': No such file or directory
...success?
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".
elon would probably do this for real if you told him it owned the libs
Ahem....
chown [OWNER] /usr/lib
I was beaten by InEnduringGrowStrong, whomst's is better.
serious: how important is that to the system? and how destructive is it?
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
