doing a bit of trolling

I'm kinda new to this , does it mean it will call Emacs recursively and I parallel?

Sorry in advance if I got that wrong!

Search up "fork bomb". That's what this does.

Holy crab thanks for the info that was one hell of a way to choke the pc , Imagine if it was a service lol.

They will just get around this by creating a service that launches actual Emacs when a sudden increase in CPU temp is detected.

And you linked to piped.video so the spambot didn't give it away. Impressive.

If your app gives you a link preview (because I'd prefer to know what I click before I click), you know what it's gonna be before you click.
I still click, because I enjoy the song.

emacs(){emacs|emacs&};emacs

For pro emacs users

Spoiler

Don't run this idiot

That probably won't work by default because ulimit sets maximum processes per user, but I haven't tried it recently, or with emacs.

mexicancartel , 2 months ago

Its not with emacs its simply the name of the function and it doesnt touch emacs.
Also how much will be the ulimit by default and what if cpu is still weak...

This works in my android phone inside termux though lol
