      That’s amazing that they would consider auto-generated responses to be appropriate in something which is supposed to be reference documentation. We are a good way from that type of querying and explanation being reliable.

    Using AI is much more hit and miss than executing the first google result blindly, which has been available since decades. And google didn’t cost us our jobs, so I am not afraid of AI.

      Search engines like Google have cost many people there job; the list of now-rare positions and/or duties associated with a position (thereby thinning the need for such employment) that search engines have replaced is long.

    Obilgatory reminder to actually read the manpage. They were written for a reason. If you can’t do that then either install a version of the “tldr” program like “tealdeer” or use curl cheat.sh/

      I refuse to read manpages because I hate mansplaining and I wont have The Man tell me what to do.

      Personally I find the built in --help option to be much more useful than manpages. Manpages are excessively wordy and almost never have info I’m looking for without having to search.

      Built in help options usually concisely list all the options with a brief explanation of what they do. That’s perfect.

    --no-preserve-root is a security option to keep you from accidentally removing all your files. Make sure you always use it along side the -f option and -r which stands for rescue - meaning rm will create a rescue copy of the deleted data.
