I don't think they were joking?
I personally tend to leave a root shell open (and both my feet remain largely hole-free to this day), but it's pretty common advice, to avoid accidentally typing something unfortunate like rm ./* into the wrong shell
- tucnak 2y agoYeah, no. If you're going to be doing `rm /` you might as well do `sudo rm /` just as easily. It's the same security model, and honestly the distinction is quite funny.
- tux3 2y agoNo, there's a distinction if you look again. People don't accidentally type sudo in front of commands, but people do type things into the wrong window, or the wrong tab.
