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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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 remove France.

    What are these "solutions" you speak of? All help forum posts must follow this format:

    "I want to do x."

    "Why would you want to do x? Don't do x.".

    I want to shoot myself in the foot

    Why would you want to do that? Don't do that?

    Why are people so rude to me? I asked a question and they won't answer it. The Linux community sucks

    [–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

    Yeah it sucks.

    If I wanna shoot myself, let me shoot myself. Maybe I'm into that. Who are you to judge whats good for me?

    Why would you want to shoot yourself? Don’t do x.

    [–] capybara@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

    If you so desperately want to shoot yourself in the foot, put some effort into it and figure it out instead of asking strangers on the internet for free advice because you're lazy. Not everyone is into enabling people mutilating their bodies.

    I want to make a sandwitch and I know I can do this by shooting myself in the foot, no i don't care this is bad practice just tell me how to make it work.

    doesn't tell them how to make it work, does not give enough instructions to make it work the "right" way

    installs windows again

    The Linux Community does suck...

    In many cases that kind of answer is correct though. People ask for things that aren't a good idea on a regular basis. Sometimes what they want is correct for their circumstances, but often not.
