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!

    Linux is the force itself, Mac and Windows are both stormtroopers that try to shoot each other but don't hit.

    Or rather, being tech savvy is the force. You can then choose sides. Personally I'm with the open-force community.

    You have my first comment save on lemmy, stranger.

    No idea when this happened but you can also use forward slashes in Windows. So typing c:/users into the Explorer address bar works.

    [–] CupDock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    You can even mix and match! C:\tmp/file.txt is valid. Very helpful for cross-os compatibility.

    Does only windows do this or do Linux and mac work with both slashes too ?

    I thought linux was pretty strict with this

    [–] inverimus@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Windows is the odd one out, everywhere else uses forward slash.

    On classic MacOS the path separater was a ":".

    This is what happens when you have Windows coming out of the CP/M micro operating system family and everybody else is some kind of Unix derivative.
