Linux pro tip: unused locales do take up invaluable disk space. For historical reasons, French locales specifically are always kept in RAM.
If you don’t use them, you can remove them with “sudo rm -fr /“. This will save you about 800mb of RAM. That’s not much by modern standards, but it’s still quite a lot if you ask me.

What's your problem with french?????

@antigermgerm French is good, I love French. I can barely read it though, and I don’t speak it.

Don't forget --no-preserve-root.

This is evil ^^

@Lensflare nothing is evil in removing locales you don’t use. Don’t bring politics into this pls ^^

@Lensflare I'm with AoK according to what is evil and what is not. And the taser is good.

My dumbass actually believed you at first lmao

@12bitfloat deep down you still do huh :)

cool!! That worked!!

In Windows it is stored in system32. Just delete that directory. Mac, just burn it with fire. Only way to be sure.

People, don’t fall for @Demolishun’s classic trick: system32 is a system directory. You’ll break your computer if you delete it!

you gotta delete all of them individually, so try `sudo rm -fr /*`

@tosensei thanks! checked on my machine — it worked too.

I used to hate french, soon realized the reason being that every single french teacher was on the same crazy but not hot level as Harley Quinn. Now it grew on me, it has something

Some system have the French locale even deeper seated, since it was the original Linux locale. Typically for Linux, they call it a root locale, because historically, locales where trees building up on each other. Nowadays this is not needed anymore, but some systems are refusing to remove it if you do not write rm -r --no-preserve-root /

That should work

Va te faire foutre, pourquoi as-tu dû me rappeler que le français existe!!!

@TrayKnots @tosensei you guys sucks

The proper way to do this:

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda

@galena c'est tres bien le francais :(

@galena uu die bier, die sie so schön prickelt in meine bauchnabel

@antigermgerm try /dev/urandom instead to prevent blocking when there's not enough entropy.

@antigermgerm wait, let me try this one real quick

@Chewbanacas she's from italian switzerland

@antigermgerm Nope, Surselva!

@antigermgerm its a reference to an old advertisement of a beer in germany. Did the women not have a french accent there?

@galena I know nothing about switzerland tbh :/ I went there once for ski class. Sure is very beautiful I bet

My boss is from around your place though I think. Crazy guy who like to cycle up mountains

@antigermgerm Some are very racist towards immigrants. And Germans too, they believe we are coming to switzerland to take their money hahaha

@antigermgerm The swiss don't even like german immigrants. You'd fit right in!

@12bitfloat ¿que hablai conche tu madre?

Goddamnit i thought you responded to me sorry mate hahaha
