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.

    You meant sudo vim, ok?

    (disclaimer: joke. Let the unholy war start)

    Do people really war over nano vs vi?

    I get the vi vs emacs war, but are people really willing to die on a hill over nano?

    [–] arality@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

    Not willing to die over this comment. Hear me out for a second. I recognize how powerful vi (is it neovim these days?) is. But I could never play games with those awful hjkl keys for navigation, I hate them. Also, I don't have to memorize nano. All the key combos are listed on the bottom. So it requires less mental load.

    Some guys at my company actually do ;)

    We have nano on our servers, but not vim

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    That’s crazy.

    Isn’t vi installed by default on most *nix distros?

    [–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

    Damn, that one I did not test. Will check and see

    [–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

    I think you mean sudoedit file

    [–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    eww.

    neovim is better.

    [–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

    LOL, gtfo with that nonsense!

    hmmm... looks like emacs doesn't have a lemmy extension yet.
