Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Why would you ~~pipe~~ edit: redirect neofetch into your .bashrc?

    [–] lco@kbin.social 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    so that everytime you launch a terminal, your neofetch data is displayed. Because wow, neofetch!!!

    It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...

    [–] radix@lemm.ee 37 points 2 years ago

    But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

    Maybe they meant to say echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc.

    It won't work. It's a dangerous command because a single > destroys your .bashrc. You may want either echo 'neofetch' >> .bashrc or neofetch | sed -e 's:%:a:g' | sed -e "s:^\\(.*\\)$:printf '\1\\\\n':" >> .bashrc or something of that kind.

    EDIT: tested out the latter command

    [–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    true!! i meant echo neofetch >> .bashrc

    Who's the true noob now? Smh

    (/s)

    [–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

    actually. i meant neofetch > bashrc, as in neofetch is better. checkmate

    /s

    This is why you have a dotfiles repository, you noob!

    [–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    That's a redirection, not a pipe.

    [–] radix@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

    Good catch.

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    Exactly, that's bloat
