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
sudoin 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.

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. 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.

Childhood me with only MS-DOS machines is all feeling nostalgic.
I've used a script that made 'up 4' a thing. Forgot to migrate it though.
Biggest issue I have with custom macros is Iβm logging into like 5 different machines a day. Donβt wanna keep copying over my custom bash files. Prefer built-in commands.

Wait until we tell them about autojump
I guess if you enjoy being a virgin that much you can do it that way.
Well, mom said I could be anything when I grew up...
cd /some/thing/i/remember
The history of the CTO at a previous job was filled with dc and sl because he was a fucking moron. Yes I'm still bitter that he earned way more money than me who had to fix all his mess.
Honestly I haven't tried this on Linux yet, but didn't Windows implement this somewhere along the way?...
cd ....
I believe, zsh supports that.
Interesting, I might have to check that out someday.
Though when I write scripts, I'm not a fan of blind folder navigation like that, there's a good reason for the pushd and popd script commands.

I aliased cd to a custom funtion in my bashrc to do this at one point, but cd ../../../.. is too engrained so I never rembered to use it.

The good thing about Dolphin is you can have the real tree following your navigation. Want to go up a few levels, just click once, directly where you want to go next. None of this up, up, up nonsense. Great for snooping in many different folders in quick succession.
