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.
  • Β 

    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.

    This meme shows up here way too often...like every other day....

    [–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Obviously there’s a need for people in this comm to uninstall their boot loaders, and a frustration that Windows won’t let them.

    Noticed that too, my memory is absolute godshit and even I remember having seen it at least twice now in the current recency.

    In case anyone is wondering, that pile of symbols means true in brainfuck

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

    I wasn't wondering. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Wait, all of that for just a Boolean true value or is that some sort of logical expression?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

    Maybe it’s the string β€œtrue”?

    Me: "I'm going to change Python3 default to >3.7" Ubuntu: scream in exceptions

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    pyenv and chill. Practical default it in your shells without messing with what installed packages expect.

    Yeah, but still those packages should probably not be calling the generic python3 if they need a specific version of python. If they depend on system installed pip packages, there's got to be a better solution.

    Wait... Microsoft is still pretending that having their web browser installed is vital to the continued operation of their OS?

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Mac does the same. You can't remove Safari and you can't sudo chmod 0 /Applications/Safari.app

    Ask me how I know πŸ˜’

    Well, in their eyes, it seems vital to be sending me adverts as notifications, I guess it's probably also vital that those adverts have a browser to link through

    Did we not teach them a lesson about this in the 90s?

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

    The lesson they learned in the 90s is that you can drag a trial out long enough to get a favorable administration in office to give you a slap on the wrist.

    Isn't it required for all networked services they provide via windows (for example windows update, network connectivity checks, etc)

    that brainfuck code gives a memory error :(

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (6 children)

    No way you actually tested it. It would be impressive

    This is the correct piece of ~~shit~~ code, somehow my lemmy app didn't write it well in the title

    The first thing I do on every install. Delete the bootloader and all the bloat files in /. Especially those goddamned .files

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (15 children)

    Aaaaannddd again.

    Install Linux, drop any and all Microsoft software, you don't need it

    Fuck everything about Microsoft

    And lately I'd like to add Google yo this too, but at least google has working and dependable products

    I swear I've seen this meme like 10 times

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

    Rookie numbers. Between Reddit, Twitter and Lemmy, I'm at 50+ right now.

    Bailing out, you are on your own now. Good luck.

    Back when Windows 98 just released and I was a kid, my friend's dad used his Acer boot CD to boot into DOS and rename the Windows directory to Linux.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

    Please, have mercy, I have seen this meme sooo many times already...

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    C is the same. Free to do whatever you want until the system stops you. Yet people hate coding in C for some reason, as there isn't enough hand holding.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

    Where C stop, continue in Assembly!

    I recognized it as Brainfuck, but assumed it was going to be a fork bomb for some reason.

    Uninstalling the bootloader will brick your device.
    Are you sure you want to uninstall the bootloader?

    Society has stopped to extremes.
