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!

    Operating systems are bloat.

    Just give me a magnet, a needle and an hd platter

    C-x M-c M-butterfly

    Honestly this part of the XKCD meme never sat right with me. No self respecting emacs person would ever bind a command to C-x M-c

    Meta after Ctrl rubs me the same way languages that use Subject Object Verb order do.

    Like, you can do it, but it feels icky.

    Also, you've gone to the trouble of creating a 'butterfly' key. Just use that.

    No self respecting person would use Emacs.

    Someone's feeling that Emacs envy...

    It's a lovely OS no doubt, but I just want an editor.

    A magnetized needle? Perfectly fine.

    Butterflies causing cosmic rays to precisely flip bits? Don't see anything wrong with that.

    A syntactically and ergonomically incorrect Emacs shortcut? Now that's going too much! Nobody would ever use that instead of M-x butterflies.
