1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

Mistakes in the Linux kernel can cause damages that are measured in millions and even get people killed.
If you can't be bothered to focus on your work and get criticism when you fuck up, work on something else.
Linus' message here isn't personal, his criticism is limited to the product created by the person. Something that any mentally healthy adult should have no problem with.
There's no need to yell at someone to convey what's wrong with their code.
None whatsoever, in fact.
Sir, email is text based communication, no yelling was involved.
ARE YOU SURE YOUR DISPLAY AND THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD IS NOT LOUDER WHEN READING THIS?
Shouting near someone may cause damage to the hears. Don't do that. Capital letters let me understand you are emotional, but cause no earing loss.
Stop yellliiiinggguuuh!
