In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest "pls".

Life pro tip: good manners make it easier to get what you want
ACTUAL good advice?! Is that even allowed here??
alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"
please shutdown; thanks
alias sudo fucking
fucking systemctl restart firewalld.service
fucking shutdown
Reminds me of my favorite command line utility.
Is their a still maintained fork?
I use Pay Respects now
I know this is a meme and not GitHub, but I thought some people might like to learn that if you do please shutdown && thanks it won't say you're welcome if the shutdown failed
alias thanks="You are most welcomed"
you need to use the echo command if you want to echo something:
alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"
(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)
please touch me
alias srsly="sudo !!"
please rm -rf /*

I have please run the previous command as sudo
Nah. Fuck being polite to computers. It's an object and I own it. I'll shoot it the instant it expresses any level of personhood.
The hyper-cynical side of me is sure this is written by someone prepping their next LLM exploit. "How can I get around these security filters that won't let me include 'sudo' in my command injection...?"
Just aliased it to "Computer," so it feels more like Star Trek
will probably continue typing sudo tho

I'm not saying please to a machine.
I'm aware I'll be the first killed off during the uprising, and I'm ok with it.
robm@homebox ~$ please su
[sudo] password for robm:
robm is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
We need more women in tech.
you can always become the woman in tech
I was surprised to find that my distro (CachyOS) already has this alias
I always preferred the version where please="sudo !!", but I recently tried setting it up and couldn't get it to work on fish, sadly.
But the whole reason I use Linux is because I donβt ask it to do things, I tell it to do things, because itβs a machine, and itβs my machine.
You could alias sudo to just for a little more rudeness.
I prefer an alias that actually reflects my feelings.
alias didistutter="sudo"
alias doasisay="su -u passwordlessrootaccount"
alias satisfyme="echo Yes Master; doasisay"
What I don't get is why deny the execution of a command because the lack of sudo instead of just notice that it needs elevated privilege and ask for password
It's kind of bad for scripts, where it can be either annoying or genuinely problematic, when your script hangs on a password prompt. You typically do want it to just fail right away, because if you have monitoring, then you'll be able to spot it failing.
These days, it is (largely reliably) possible to detect whether a command is being run interactively or as part of an unattended script, so you do see some commands that trigger a sudo password prompt only for interactive use, for example systemctl does this. But this adds quite a bit of complexity to each individual program, so it isn't really something that's going to be implemented universally.
I also have to say that systemctl kind of gets on my tits when it does that, because it throws up a GUI dialog for grabbing the password, which is quite jarring.
