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!

    Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin' dare ya.

    Edit: we want Falcon 9's landing guidance software too.

    [–] evidences@lemmy.world 99 points 5 months ago (16 children)

    Open sourcing the falcon 9 software would almost definitely be a violation of ITAR.... On second thought it would be fun to see him go to prison.

    [–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 65 points 5 months ago

    Nothing could possibly go wrong open sourcing a ~~missle~~ rocket guidance system...

    No, not just open, free it entirely. License the code under a GPL license.

    Careful Linus. This guy may start claiming he is a confounder of Linux any moment now.

    [–] Starayo@lemm.ee 41 points 5 months ago

    Musk certainly is confounding.

    The nice thing about Linux is, he can't buy it and fuck it up.

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 82 points 5 months ago (13 children)

    He can still fuck up the community.

    You say that, but I'll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.

    No this dipshit just says whatever he thinks is going to be the most popular with the tech bros he is desperate to be in front of.

    Broken clock.

    [–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 77 points 5 months ago (9 children)

    He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.

    Elon just tries to get approval by finding a dominate opinion among a group of people and parroting back what they say and want. Kinda obvious and pathetic.

    Is it purely because Linux has the letter "X" in it?

    [–] Randelung@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    First thing he'll do is write Torvalds and suggest a minor change to the naming.

    [–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 45 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    given Linus' flair for writing replies, I would love to see him rip into Elon.

    Sorry Elon you, specifically, have to go to space before getting involved in Linux. It's the Shuttleworth law.
