How do people manage to shoot themselves with rm? I’ve done so with disk partitioning, I’ve done that with #Git, but I can’t think of any such cases with rm 🤔
(Maybe it’s because I’m doing most of my file management with #Emacs + Dired…)
#Linux #Unix

@contrapunctus@fe.disroot.org Scripts using rm have potential issues you might not run in to with using rm interactively. Unfortunately I've learned that from experience.

@contrapunctus@fe.disroot.org you've never run "rm -rf *" in the wrong folder? 🫠
