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!

    it's a swole doge vs cheems meme

    on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
    accompanied is a text that reads "Here's the information. What do you wish to do?"

    on crying cheems side, there's popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, "let's add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you."

    Well of course they need to report your information to Microsoft, after all the application crashed on your computer and since it's a Microsoft application it can't be the fault of the application (also why you don't see an error Log) so you must have been holding it wrong so they need your info to find out how you were holding it wrong.

    if you want to see the logs you have eventmgr.msc which consolidates all logs in one place.

    As stated above. I know that there are actual logs produced (I honestly would not have known where to look for them by heart but that's my shortcoming) my comment was meant to be sarcastic sorry for dropping that /s

    The fuck are you smoking?

    Or (which is a lot more likely) it sends data so Microsoft can improve the software and fix the bug that you encountered in their software.

    (Why would they want to receive crash dumps if they don't believe to be at fault? That is just dumb logic)

    If you want to see logs, you can just open the Event Viewer. It is a bit hidden because non-tech savvy people like you don't understand it.

    Sorry I thought I was exaggerating enough but once again sarcasm doesn't come through on the internet.

    I know that actual logs are produced and can be viewed and I know that there are actual crash dumps being sent that are actually used for improvement.

    Whole I don't believe in the "hide what's happening from the user" approach I get that Microsoft isn't actually malicious or hates their users.

    Again sorry for dropping the /s
