You came here for help and you found the opposite! Get ready for a litany of insults; insults that your terminal has always *wanted* to say but never had the permission. Now, it doesn't care. **Submit new insults!** or **Install the snap** `sudo snap install whatami` **Run it** * With ascii - `whatami` * Without ascii - `whatami -p` **Disclaimer** You use this snap and software of your own accord, free will and choice. No one forced you to install it and take these insults. This software is meant for those with thick skin and a masochistic nature. Basically, people who don't take life seriously - nor themselves. *Just take a step back and laugh at yourself once in a while, everyone else is!* :P ### Package name * whatami --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 29 June 2023 - latest/stable * 29 June 2023 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install whatami To install whatami, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install whatami ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
