Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin 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'm a bit concerned that this kind of meme will get a lot more real when people will blindly trust AI for commands.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the post in question but if I recall it was GitHub AI telling boldly that you can add -f to your RM command to get a confirmation...
Read the man people. RTFM is still a good advice.
I mean.
People have been saying "press alt F4 to change your IRC nick" or whatever for several decades
And didn't make an IOS upgrade back in the days the iPhone waterproof? And another one enabled fast charging in the microwave oven...
The fact that manufacturers feel the need to put warnings that encompass this kind of stupidity on their product tells you all you need to know, doesn't it.
Wasn't there a woman who tried to dry her little dog in the microwave, sued the company and won, because they never explicitely stated not to put live animals in there?
I hope that story isn't true, but most warning labels exist for a reason, and that reason isn't common sense.
Classics
Or, a bit more recent, telling someone in WoW that command to do something was /camp (it logs you out)
