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.
    • 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 fork-bomb your computer.

    At least I get to find out why the spyware doesn't work... and fix it πŸ’ͺ.

    On the other hand, I have a hard time explaining to my family why shit in my computer constantly doesn't work... or I'm in the process of fixing it πŸ˜‚.

    If there are any car guys in the family, simply tell them it's sorta like that. Tinkering is a totally valid hobby, but older people have an easier time understanding it with cars (because cars have been around longer, mostly :P)

    Oh, they've kinda gotten used to it by now πŸ˜‚. At least that's what I think... they do avoid my computer though, so that's a plus, I guess πŸ˜‚.

    I have no idea what I'm doing at any point in the process, and that's why its fun.

    Or you start fixing something, and you find 3 other problems, not related to the one you started fixing πŸ˜‚. You just didn't know about them cuz you usually don't use libfoo for the thing you currently need πŸ˜‚.

    It's like going to the doctor for a checkup and finding out you have diabetes πŸ˜‚... I mean... it's not good, but better now than later, right 🀷 πŸ˜‚.
