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.
    •  

    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.

    No thank you... in bulk or as a single install.

    What's that supposed to say? Or what I'm not understanding?

    [–] Judicus@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It translates to "free of charge" or something to that end.

    Ubuntu is a Bantu (broad language family of about 600 African languages including Zulu) term meaning something like "humanity" or "community"

    Near as I can tell, Granel is borrowed from spanish and in isolation would mean "grain"

    [–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

    "A granel" in Spanish means "in bulk". It's used when you go to a store and you put however much of whatever you need in a bag. Usually done with veggies.

    "Ubuntu a granel" means "Free of charge" in Kinyarwanda (according to Google Translate).

    Edit to add: It's spoken in Rwanda.

    It's like "take as much as you want".

    This was outside a minimarket

    You can replace flour for twice it's weight of Ubuntu when making gingersnaps
