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.

    It has the "txt" extension, probably planted by windows

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Yeah windows update has overwritter the original truth.txt with spyware edition

    Pedantic mode engaged: Last command silently fails because TRUTH.TXT is not truth.txt

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

    First command fails because -name is case-sensitive

    If you want to be that pedantic, we wouldn't have even made it to panel 3 because VIM don't launch shit.

    It's not the destination that matters, but the errors we pointed out along the way

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    And also the pointers we errored out along the way.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Terry's TempleOS

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Using Linux is often about ethics, it just doesn’t make you a good person.

    Yeah, a user is passive. Now if you contribute to FLOSS projects, either with money or knowledge, then we can talk about your ethical superiority (I totally don't btw, can't afford the money, and don't have the knowledge)

    I bought a fully spec'd System76 laptop. Does that count?

    I also give some money to KDE from time to time, so I know that counts.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    I'll allow it.

    sudo ./make_new_personality_trait.sh

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
