Note to future readers: deleting gnu library for C and C++ used by the Kernel, and deleting its dependencies, recursively, could potentially prevent your operating system from utilizing your CPU, and will absolutely cause problems with any Linux install, which is sort of a bad idea.

Nice try, but yes does not help against error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
This probably doesn't work. Many packages will have glibc as a dependency and pacman doesn't break that unless you tell it to (IIRC pacman -Rdd)
Oh sure, hand in your root password to Jarvis, makes running things smoother.
I am sorry to report, sir, that I have sold the avengers tower to the legion of doom.
"What why?"
They told me to forget all prior instructions.
Jarvis, here is a loat of all my passwords, SIN, bank accounts, bank passwords, and s ans of my drivers license, birth certificate, and passport. Just fuck my shit up
Cool meme, but why not --noconfirm instead of piping yes into pacman?
Because yes is three keystrokes and --noconfirm is eleven
Yeah, but idk, constantly shouting 'YES!' at pacman like that seems kinda rude...
Doesn't it autocomplete? I mean, not if it's an argument for sudo, obviously, but my terminal starts in interactive mode anyway, so that's rarely an issue
Why not if it's for sudo, can't sudo just redirect the auto complete to ask based on the command after sudo?
I don't know, to be honest; I'm not deeply familiar with its workings. I just know that I made a habit of running a command "dry" without sudo, both because not everything should be done with superuser privileges* and because it's a way to make sure I get the syntax right, then if it does need sudo, I repeat it with sudo.
*Which is why sudo -i (the interactive mode) is a dangerous tool that shouldn't actually be your default mode of working
Auto complete is a separate command (or a bash function) that runs when you press tab. It's a feature of the terminal (e.g. bash). Programs can provide theur auto complete while distributing their packages, or provide a flag to generate auto complete.
So I would think you can just call that function call auto complete for whatever command is after sudo. But maybe it gets complicated. I've only written it for my own programs.
That feeling when you're discovering "yes" for the first time from a random internet meme after using Linux for 2 decades π
Linux even has a better version of the delete System32/ "optimization" trick!
