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.
    •  

    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 DID NOT come up with the idea of the meme, I just tries to improve on it by making SUSE the lizard and adding a hat on RedHat.
    The original meme can be found here: lemmy.ml/c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

    I honestly don't think a lot of the community sees Oracle as the good guys...

    [–] SapienSRC@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

    I believe ORACLE feels they’re the good guys, and they’d like us all to think so too

    Giving credit to the original?

    Based memer.

    [–] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    A cool fork. Open source memes are the future

    [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

    We should attach a license to all our memes. Unfortunately, most of them are based on proprietary work.

    [–] gkd@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

    We are seeing a new level of based here on Lemmy, and it’s great.

    People might still be factoring in their olde deal with Microsoft.

    OOTL on that one. What was it about?

    [–] style99@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

    Probably this.

    [–] Nomecks@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

    Oracle doesn't have customers, only prisoners.

    [–] sci@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

    better to leave out the lemmy.ml part otherwise people from other instances will have a hard time doing anything

    [–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    This shit show almost makes canonical look look sane.

    [–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

    Wait till they join the battle with their Ubuntu Server - RHEL Edition XD

    [–] crtbob@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Out of the loop, what is wrong with Oracle?

    Your Family Friendly Corporate Software Evil Inc

    Only rivaled by Adobe in licensing costs

    spoilerIt's a corporate company known for buying out any competition and feasting on the FOSS community by vendor locking companies into their crappy support products and abusing any and all loopholes to charge enterprise prices for any service or software (like java).

    Case in point being Oracle Linux which started as a blatant rip of RHEL and is probably IBM's main reason for locking down RHEL source.

    Their only major market competitor has been AWS because they also offer (and copy) all of Oracle's services and software whilst also feasting on the FOSS community, albeit probably less than Oracle.

    Oracle linux support is just one of their many insane products they sell.
