  • 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.

    Firefox stopped supporting XP in 2018 so it's not too long ago that it was still usable.

    6 years was "not too long ago", eh? Right this way grandpa, let's get you back to your rocking chair

    [–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Okay it's long for people where it's 6 years ago they learned to tie their shoes.

    Gramps here still thinks LOTR is a recent movie.

    I've been in tech since 2003 in some form or another, I'm right there with you in thinking XP feels recent. My daughter was 2 in 2018, so it's definitely felt super quick to me too.

    ok so technically, the 2018 support was post wannacry? I want to say. I dont believe they totally supported it up until quite a few years prior to that.

    I was struggling to find the newest XP related news to prove my point, it was the best I could do.

    By 2018 XP had been replaced by Windows 7 for several years.

    [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

    yeah. Win 7 was released in like 2009? Win 10 was 2015.

    Win xp was probably discontinued the same time as win 7.
