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. 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.

    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.

    Well, maybe I'm just not good at memes (almost certainly the case tbh) but Microsoft are talking about windows switching to being a largely cloud based OS, hence their Windows 365 talk recently.

    Which is horrible, obviously.

    Laughs in KDE could have been any distro, more about not having to deal with the eventual clusterfuck that's coming towards windows users...

    There it is folks, someone had to explain their fucking meme. See that, that's what a shit meme looks like. :p

    Better luck next time.

    Maybe like, "Laughs in FOSS"

    Or like, "Microsoft 365 Cloud OS"

    "now every day is a forced update,

    all the time,

    forever*"

    *except one day per leap year.

    Yep. Laughs in FOSS would have worked way better than mine.

    Thanks for the other pointers too, although I really didn't need the mental image of windows update happening 60 times a second, thank you very much. :)

    The "coined the term" thing is what threw me off. I thought this was making fun of the name, like KDE already had some "365" branded product or something. But reading the comments, I take its intention as more making fun of the concept of a cloud-based desktop.

    Pretty much. Made perfect sense in my head at the time.

    I totally see how it would be ambiguous now though.
