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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    If my boss ever spoke to me like that about a mistake, I would straight up quit. Either be respectful or get fucked, that goes doubly so for a non-profit relying on the good will of contributors.

    I think Linux has grown beyond the good will from contributors. I got the sense most folks do this as part of their job.

    So it's not your boss. It's someone who you have to make happy to do your job. And your boss can't help. Quitting won't help. Not if you want to work on the kernel.

    In that case, the high stakes world of kernel management is probably not for you.

    [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

    Please leave and give me the job instead. It's the fucking Linux kernel we're talking about; mistakes can mean many, MANY bad things happening to production environments

    Your boss would probably do worse, and fire you instead. Now it isn't just your fee fees being violated, it's your living wage disappearing.

    As such, this comparison isn't really useful.

    Only a shit boss would fire someone for making mistakes instead of correcting them.

    Also drop the whole pretentious right whinger act, you’re not a tough guy online.

    Most bosses are shitty.

    I'm not a right winger, nor acting as one. Stop making shit up / assuming shit about other users as a diversion tactic, and stick to the discussion.
