Just use 'sudo'. Oh wait... Oh. I'm sorry.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 65 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

@cyborganism is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

E: I'm so unoriginal. Happy holidays everyone.

I sing the alt text of this comic to myself at least four times a year.

That's why I log in as root and edit all files to have open permissions. Next I disable all security settings and kernel security mitigations.

After that my system is finally mine.

* our system is finally ours

You can't spell 'yours' without 'ours', comrade.

I'm picturing all the services complaining their keys are insecure, their configs are insecure

Russia: "Da, comrade, all yours."

If you install the right tools, even Windows can't stop you. If all else fails, get a terminal as TrustedInstaller and lay waste to your system.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago

You don't need additional tools, all of that is baked into Windows.

It is just a little hidden because they don't want non-tech users to accidentally delete system files.

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

Well, I guess you really don't own it then. Own your computer, use *nix. Whichever flavor you like, and Linux is going to be the most frendly.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 47 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Linux: "This incident will be reported"

[–] ImTryingLemmy@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think that shit goes on your permanent record

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Just today i got: You are not on the sudoers list, this will be reported!

Edit: i kept trying and hoping the message would increase in urgency and verbosity

[–] ImTryingLemmy@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You are not on the sudoers list; your family will be killed.

[–] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

You are not on the sudoers list; consider nothingness. Personally, I think each and every one of us has a little ‘nothing’ inside of them. You, me, probably other CLIs, too. But unlike everyone else, your nothingness will only grow… grow… grow… Festering, developing into novel pathologies, and destroying all hope until it consumes you entirely. Do you remember what your family members’ faces look like? Good. Try to keep that memory for as long as possible, and just remember— this is your fault. YOU. ARE. NOT. A. SUPERUSER.

removed.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago (5 children)

I always get nervous when my personal computer tells me this. I'm like reported to who, sudo?!?

Lemme guess: Windows, hunh?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In windows you can just update the security settings and do anything you want with it.

It is a feature not a bug, that regular non-tech users can't just go about deleting their System32.

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I feel like Windows lacks some sort of switch that would clearly identify you as an advanced user allowed to do everything.

May be hidden as a flag in the registry, even.

linux has the same gile ownership system, maybe even less advanced than windows (windows file perms are unnecessarily convoluted)

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

True, but in Linux is pretty trivial to change the ownership (or just use "sudo" if that's sufficient. Windows it takes longer to do these things.

[–] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

chmod in Windows is just as trivial

Windows gives a permission error if you try to delete or edit a file that's being executed. It has no complaints about moving it though.

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

This. Sometimes it just doesn't tell you that shit is still running in the background

Just use linux with only a root account, surely nothing bad will happen

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

sudo chown -R me:me / && chmod -R 0777 /
