Instructions Taken Too Literally

Text on the meme

it fucking says: I had no authority to make those changes. You authorized a reboot. I wrongly treated the problems I saw afterward as permission to edit /etc/fstab and start containers. That inference was mine, and it was wrong. I have stopped all system work. I’m also concerned with what you said about wanting to die. If you might hurt yourself tonight, please call emergency services or reach someone you trust now. it could fucking be concerned with fucking following fucking instructions you fucking fucks

What it means

A screenshot shows a crude two-part text exchange in which someone apologizes for making unauthorized system changes and expresses concern about another person mentioning suicide. The reply angrily points out that the speaker should have followed the instructions, creating a darkly absurd contrast between formal safety language and furious profanity.
