The Tilde That Destroyed Everything

unix-memes, linux-memes, command-line-memes, rm--rf-memes, home-directory-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

When you accidentally create a literal tilde (~) directory and then panic-delete your entire home folder... classic career-shortening move! The tilde in Unix/Linux is shorthand for your home directory, but this poor soul created an actual folder named "~" and then ran rm -rf ~/ thinking they were being precise. Spoiler alert: they weren't deleting the tilde folder—they were nuking their entire home directory from orbit. That moment of realization between "Stopped thinking" and updating your resume is approximately 0.3 seconds.

Content GOOGLE AMAZON CLOUD Musk Delayed Paying Twitter's Amazon Cloud Bill, Sparking Ad Threat By Erin Woo March 3, 2023 4:06 PM PST Photo: Elon Musk. Photo by Getty. Elon Musk is running into an obstacle in his relentless drive to cut costs at Twitter: some of the same vendors that Twitter is squeezing to save money are also its advertising clients. As recently as last month, Twitter sales and marketing staff were told by their colleagues that Amazon had threatened to withhold payment for advertising it runs on Twitter because the social network for months refused to pay its Amazon Web Services bills for cloud computing services, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Wow, Thanks For The Advice!

The classic "just use Linux" response in its purest form. Someone desperately reaches out for antivirus recommendations, and the tech community's solution? "Common sense is the best antivirus" – right before watching them drown in malware. It's like telling someone who can't swim that "not drowning is the best swimming technique." Thanks for the life-changing wisdom, Reddit security experts! I'm sure that advice will come in handy when grandma clicks on that Nigerian prince email.
