1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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. 🇬🇧 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 figures

We 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.

Do I have to enable backports for that package?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It could become glitchy. Consider enabling Frontport as well.

You guys don't run several updates in parallel on the same system??

Sounds dangerous, aren't you scared of catching the c standard library?

If it wasn't obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here's what the ~~Japanese~~ Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 28 points 10 months ago (3 children)

How do you identify it as Japanese? I see no hiragana or katakana, which is how I usually identify text as Japanese instead of Chinese.

[–] vistencluse@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You see, he knew because he is wrong and it is indeed Chinese

Lol I can tell you just used Google Lens or some shit and then proceeded to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about by assuming it was Japanese (it's not).

I suspected Debian users were soyboys and now I have the documents to prove it.

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They used to be soyboys but then they bought an ikea plushie.

“Progynova”.. that’s a really great name. Naming things is hard so I always appreciate a good name when I see one

[–] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Could you elaborate on what makes the name a good one?

[–] Bolt@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

I read it as pro-gyn-nova

Pro: as in professional/effective
Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
Nova: new (in many romance languages)

It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I'm sure there are other readings of it too.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

I think it's more pro like the prefix meaning "for."

So it would roughly mean "for new woman"

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Also: -ova

Ah, other commenters beat me to saying what I was going to say regarding the semantics.

But also, it’s a unique artificially created word. Nobody is going to confuse it for anything else (granted, that might get murky with pharmaceuticals). It’s searchable with any piece of software that does simple string matching. Also, it isn’t itself a constituent of some other longer word, which helps with that kind of thing too.

The spelling of the word is also phonetically logical. Being a new artificially created word, they could’ve spelled it however they wanted, but they chose the spelling that reads how it sounds. Very few people are going to hear it spoken and misspell it if they’re typing it into some device.

Yeah.. that sums it up

There is a reason a lot of trans girls use Debian.
