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.
  •

    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.

    We've come a long way. Once upon a time, It might've said "Linux is only free if you don't value your time."

    [–] Johanno@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    It depends. I recommend windows when people say they don't want to put any time into learning a new os.

    Or gaming. While I can game without any issues on Linux i sometimes have to tweak sth. Or have issues that I as a veteran can solve easily. I wouldn't recommend it to newcomers.

    I recommend windows when people say they don't want to put any time into learning a new os.

    Only if they've used Windows before, otherwise (IMO) Linux would be easier to learn when just starting out.

    ...first problem, google it, hello terminal.

    Meanwhile in windows you have GUI guide, if you even meet a problem other than learn to read.

    Fwiw, I still hear about it these days around me.

    [–] admin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

    Damn I remember hearing this a lot like 15 years ago.

    Oh cool! https://www.globaldayofunplugging.org

    Thanks for the heads-up OP.

    At first I was like "When I open windows, I let cool air in helping my pc to cool off better, what do you mean it's less efficient?" Then it hit me, oooh the other windows.

    That's basically a knock knock joke.
    A dad joke is something said in conversations.

    [–] cm0002@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

    Dad jokes can come in many forms, it does not matter how, where or why it is said for that is not what makes a dad joke a dad joke. All that matters is that sweet sweet "Uggghhhh dad" you get from your kids/teens for that is where Dad jokes live and die.

    Also the wife rolling her eyes

    This is great, but I need more training... Please?

    [–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

    Didn't you receive your welcome kit in the mail after your SO had a confirmed pregnancy? Additional training opportunities are discussed on page 420 of the handbook

    Usually you make your first dad joke when your kid is born. If it didn't happen for you, you might need to go back and ask the doctor to hold you upside down and slap you on the ass.

    [–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

    Someone didn't take dad joke night classes

    [–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Dad jokes are classically built around puns, as is the case here.

    Setting up context doesn't make this a knock knock joke.

    [–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    Just because it's a pun it doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

    [–] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    Setting up a stupid question just to deliver a pun as a punchline is 100% a dad joke in my book.

    I'm interested to hear what you think is required for a joke to be a dad joke.

    [–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

    Dad jokes are anything that makes children giggle and wives roll their eyes.

    [–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

    Wrong on both counts.
