Is this how one becomes nonbinary?
I don’t know about that. Non-binary files have been put into bin directories for decades at this point. (Feel free to marvel at the analogy.)
Delete the contents and it’s not just binaries going to the bit-bucket.
The joke here is more “Tony Lazuto said to execute these files.”
If you think about it, all files are binary, some just happen to be human-readable.
So you’re saying Tony Lazuto uses Windows??? That bastard!
Tony Lazuto says you should delete System32
Only if you follow the script(s).
This took me way too long
Yup Just delete all binary data from your disks, including the bios and get a quantum computer that you somehow program and control by hand.
I cleaned my bin.
All that’s left is a symlink: sh -> /nix/store/…
Why not just symlink to /usr/bin?
Not familiar with NixOS
…?
The joke is about the bin/ directory on Linux, which contains the binaries of the system (also called executables) which can break the system if you delete it, and also refer to the paper bin where all your trash files go and people tend to delete usually.
Ah, I don’t usually think of trash bins by that term
Could also be referring to something like ~/.local/bin, where you remove unnecessary user-only programs vs. /use/bin where you remove system essential ones.
I think of the trash as just “trash.” Thanks for explaining the joke.
Surely it should be “cleaned the bin”, right? Dialect issues complicate things but the basic problem seems to be that the joke is just ungrammatical.

This one isn’t true of course, but it still feels like it fits
Clearing build files of your hobby project when you
rm -rf /bininstead of
rm -rf bin/It’s binjamin u sombitch
clean your bin not the communal bin
