        It will try but unfortunately in the process of deleting your os the shell process of deleting will be affected and stop there.

        However it can be savely assumed that you won’t be able to boot into it again and that your data is gone.

          Isn’t the shell process loaded into RAM? In fact the entire session is, wouldn’t it be fine until you try to access a file somehow?

            Deleting acesses the file, also background Services will refresh their ram at some point sth will break everything before you can delete it. Well maybe with an nvme and fast cpu you might be fast enough

        Theoretically yes, but pretty much every modern Linux installation has some guards built in to the rm command to prevent it from deleting everything. Adding the flag --no-preserve-root removes this and gives you the classic DFE experience. (even without the flag though rm -rf / will still majorly fuck up your system.)

      I mean, as long as you are ok with also nuking all search engines.

      To be honest, text chatbots have done very little to move the needle one way or the other, and all search engines are barely usable right now, chatbots or no. I had some hopes for an AI implementation with speciific training on how to parse search results, but all we’re getting is the first couple of results read back to us.

      So yeah, I get that people needed a new bad guy after crypto imploded, but it’s a shame that the discourse became what it is, in that it both fails to pay off on tech that is actually pretty cool when used right and it leaves a lot of old tech that is getting noticeably worse off the hook.

        Just throwing in my 2 cents. I swapped to DDG from google about 2 weeks ago and I’ve been very impressed with the results. It feels literally impossible to find accurate results on google if there exists a product remotely similar to your search terms. The last straw for me was having an entire search page populated with similes of my search term. No “did you mean?” or “including results for…”, just straight up random fucken products that happened to have one word similar to what I was searching for.

        I’m this close to paying for Kagi. DDG (or bing, really) drops one ball and I’m there. I’m so sick of fighting with search engines. The environment hasn’t changed, it’s just enshittification. And AI was never going to fix anything, it’s just a new and exciting enshittifier.

          I have been on DDG for ages, but honestly it doesn’t solve the underlying SEO problems and I still find the searches lack depth.

          As for Kagi… look, if I’m not willing to pay Google to remove ads from Youtube I’m not willing to pay for search just because it got crappy. I was here before search engines and I can live without them again if I have to. Or, you know, with slightly crappier ones if I have to. I survived AltaVista. I can do this again.
