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!

    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.

    i mean, admittedly debugging is not fun, i would know, it's literally what i do in my spare time (i've spent thousands of hours working on autistic redstone trying to make it fucking work because it looks pleasing to the eye and runs fastlier)

    It's awful, the amount of swears i've said in relation to it is probably higher than politics, ironically. Granted, i still love doing this shit, it's just grueling from time to time. It's part of the lifestyle.

    If it had one more frame it would no longer have a significant punchline though. That's why i think it's a meta joke. We as linux users often goad about the wonderful nature of linux, but when someone asks about it, we talk about all the shit that can break. Or it's just the fact that it's pretty easy to do things wrong sometimes.

    For example, a while ago i was having an issue with video playback being incredibly sluggish. Turns out it was pipewire not running, which was weird. You would think a video would play fine without audio, and it should, but apparently that one case of not having audio output really fucked shit up.
