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.

    He'll get sued by Apple for infringing on their OS X trademark, and he'll invent laws claiming he's in the right, and he'll lose billions, and then he'll claim he invented Linux and he's a genius.

    I kind of want to see this go down. There are a few companies you don't fuck with. Apple is definitely one of them. I am sure their lawyers are just as smart and soulless as Disney's

    Musk has been using x.com since the Mac OS 8 days.

    He'd easily have prior rights.

    He sold it into PayPal, then bought it back from PayPal a couple years ago.

    Not sure how trademarks work, but I think it gets stickier when it's used for different purposes. like how there's Starcraft trailers and the game.
