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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    What is this photo? What’s he wearing on his chest? Looks like some weird PCB with buttons?

    Looks neat, I hope it’s real, but I suspect it’s AIGI.

    Look at the perspective near his hands, either it's the most crooked console ever or it's AI

    If I had a setup like that, I'd start a streaming or video career just to show it off

    If you're using any of the myriad of apps based on Electron I have some bad news.

    "Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?"

    "Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?"

    "Are you sure?"

    FUCK OFF, I'M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY'S WEBSITE DOESN'T WORK WITH FIREFOX

    [–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 96 points 2 days ago (13 children)

    Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.

    [–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 64 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson "doesn't work with Linux". Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine

    I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit...

    [–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

    They already did. We are the other universe.

    [–] klu9@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they're not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.

    You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that's not gonna happen, I'm afraid.

    And for when switching user agents doesn't work: ungoogled chromium saves the day

    Lies, linux user would use firefox or something more libre over chrome

    A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing one β€œInstall” button in an app store):

    [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 54 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    I switched my main to linux about a year ago and install everything through terminal at this point.

    I had to download something on a windows system once recently and i was not prepared with how backwards this entire process felt.

    I cant understand how i had stuck with such bullshit for so long.

    [–] Wildly_Utilize@infosec.pub 1 points 18 hours ago

    I can't believe to update on windows I have to navigate to a webpage, download the newest installer, and go through the process...

    FOR EACH PROGRAM

    Is this a Firefox reference?

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 20 hours ago

    That looks badass and the perfect advert for Firefox (the browser)

    Somehow I think people here aren't into Soviet propaganda movies

    I see now, this is linuxmemes@lemmy.world, not @lemmy.ml. My bad, comrade.
