I removed my permissions on my downloads folder using chmod. can anyone help restore back to default? Thanks!
minus-square@bitchkatlink8•9 months agoSudo is completely unnecessary here. If the owner changed, use chown first reset the user. Then use chmod to change permissions.
minus-squareEager EaglelinkEnglish1•9 months agothat’s probably right, though sudo will work every time
minus-square@dohpaz42linkEnglish5•9 months agoYou should only use elevated privileges only when you need to. Otherwise you risk catastrophic failure.
minus-square@WhyAUsername_1link0•edit-29 months agoNo I did not use “sudo rm -rf /*”. How did you know?
