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.

    There is an ancient 1400 year-old Arabic saying that goes إن من البيان لسحرا "in eloquence there is magic" or "some eloquence is magical". It is an ancient tactic.

    Eloquence is such a good way to describe the magical nonsense words. Thanks for that cool tidbit of history

    Simplicity and honesty are luxuries rarely possible nowadays

    [–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

    Mhm, would definitely agree. Things don't have to be simple, I get that, but at least be honest about it, don't beat around the bush.
