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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.

    You’re either being intentionally obtuse or disingenuous.

    Or I'm simply disagreeing with you. I'm not disagreeing to disagree, I just simply am not convinced by your arguments.

    you wouldn’t count people who bought that refrigerator as Linux users, would you?

    No, I would not.

    If they’re not exposed to any operational functions of the OS, then counting them as users of the OS is dishonest.

    Right, but the steam deck exposes all that perfectly fine, a lot of uses simply choose not to engage with that. Someone using debian but then only touching the web browser still counts as them using linux surely.

    No, you’re being dishonest. 99% of Steam Deck users don’t know (or care) that desktop mode exists because, much like an appliance, it’s not relevant to their use of the device. Your argument is basically that, if a refrigerator had a full Linux desktop that was accessible, it’s user would count as a Linux user because, just like the Steam Deck, not using that interface would just be the owner of said refrigerator “choosing not to engage with it”. You and I both know that’s horseshit.

    No, I would not.

    still counts as them using linux surely

    You’ve just contradicted yourself. A smart fridge with a browser counts as a Linux user or doesn’t?

    [–] Doxin@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    work on your reading comprehension.

    [–] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    Sure…right after you answer the question instead of continuing to be dishonest.

    You can’t have it both ways.
