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.
    •

    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.

    Windows is "PC"

    PC means Politically Correct

    Windows has gone woke

    I wonder what would happen if Red Hat took the opportunity to start advertising anti-Windows-Wokeness on X and TruthSocial and other fascsocial media. Probably a stupid business move because not like they'd actually adopt it but would be funny to watch.

    Wasn't that almost what happened with Bryan Lunduke? AFAIK, dude took a hard turn to the right after years of decent Linux-related advocacy and then nuked his social media accounts and tried to claim the opposite. Not sure where he's at now, but it was pretty strange.

    [–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

    Ah yes, Bryan Lunduke was a very well known name in Linux circles years ago. His Linux e-books still can be had.

    It's not like far right Linux guys are unheard of.

    It's just that they tend to be "literally who's" instead of anyone relevant to any project people care about.

    If Red Hat wasn't owned by IBM, I'd maybe give a flying fuck about being amused.

    Something like that already exists, look up Freedom Phone
