Title: politics and religion in my terminal?
Post by: mammas.skittles on 24 September 2019, 06:03:04
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation,
indivisible,
with liberty
and justice for all.
      -- Francis Bellamy, 1892



Really?  Really?  In my terminal?

There are lots of different fortunes.....rather than uninstall, I'm fairly certain you could find one that is appropriate. It can be rather "entertaining" in a bland terminal.  :)

Best regards.

Many fortunes that are real gems:

	fattening of the poor.

I wish there was a fortune mod with Martin Luther's insults ala

It's more nationalistic than political, but I see what you mean. Especially if you're not an American.

Most likely .bashrc in your /home directory.

Or /etc/bash/bashrc.d/local.bash or something, grep it.

Thanks guys! /etc/bash/bashrc.d/local.bashrc did it for me. I opened  that file as root and commented out the last 3 lines
echo
fortune
echo
When i rebooted and opened terminal i see a simple prompt. Neat and tidy, just the way i like it.
