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

    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.

    They don't want you to know, but you can actually buy that stuff without being invited to their secret club

    [–] lmfamao@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    No form, just whisper 'sudo apt-get install femboy-starter-kit' into the void and they will arrive within 24 hours

    Weird corner of the userbase you submerged yourself in

    Most people I come across just wanted a phone that wasn’t made by Apple

    It needs way more gawdy neon color palettes.

    I swear half these people with blogs pick the most aggressive bright pink and greens when building their websites from scratch for the first time and then just stick with it!

    [–] fleebleneeble@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

    Absolutely beautiful. Happy to be a part of this community and still learning every day.

    This is the meme I needed. Thank you!

    wouldnt it be hardware from the 80s?

    [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    It's either "how it looks" or "what it looks like". You can't mix and match.

    [–] M137@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Thank you, came here to say this. It really feels like people are fighting over having the worst grammar, like there's something to win from it. Even basic stuff like this is apparently too hard to comprehend.

    [–] tauren@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

    That is hardly basic if you aren't a native speaker.

    [–] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

    You don't need the "like" on the end

    [–] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

    People who think the idiom is "how x looks like" rather than "what x looks like", which is more correct.

    I have yet to meet a furry or trans IT person IRL. Is there just a higher concentration of them across the pond? Or is bullying a bigger issue there maybe?

    Visit any comic or anime convension and you'll find the former in spades.

    As to the later, idk. I've got three cousins who came out as Trans in the last five years or so.

    There's definitely been a thaw around sex and gender over the last twenty years, and I can't help notice a certain number of "butch lesbians" and "sis men" just saying "fuck it, I'm the other gender and straight" and going all the way.

    Or is bullying a bigger issue there maybe?

    Bullying certainly. But also there hasn't been a large and active transgender community until fairly recently. People coming to terms with what being transgender means and how to self-actualize it wasn't possible in the homophobic atmosphere of the 20th century.

    We'll see how long this revolution survives in the current century. Germany also had a boom/bust of transgenderism in the 1920s. Hopefully, Trumpism/Starmerism isn't a bell weather for that kind of reactionary reversal.
