- 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
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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. ย
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.

MODERATORS
Downvotes. Calls the opinion wrong. Refuses to elaborate. Ignores the discourse going on. Complains of lack of discourse.
Complain? My good sir or madam you and the weighty wrongness of the opinion are the source of such discourse and I do enjoy it so
Please continue
Comes back with the same assertion as before except with added verbal frills, thinking it could pass as substance.
Narrates other persons actions through projection and snark
Since you haven't given me a point to counter, there ain't much else to do. I'll try another approach.
Let's see your original point, if you can call it: "...strong wrong opinions..."
So you appear to say that I'm wrong to say that the Debian logo is ugly. From that we can conclude that you find it pretty. I mean, it's fine. You could have simply argued that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and that it looks good to you. I would have respected that. Here, I've created an adequate retort for you. You're welcome.
And since neither of us will ever be bothered to do an unbiased street survey on the beauty of a curled twig we will have to leave it at that.
They did argue that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder - so successfully, that you wrote paragraphs to attempt to fight their causal words, and ended up bringing that statement up yourself.
That point was never made I had to make it myself to conclude this stupid disagreement with something that made sense. Even after I did so, essentially agreeing to disagree he kept going, making it obvious he wasn't even taking this seriously. The guy was just out trolling while accusing me of not wanting to have a "discourse".
Seriously, you post one opinion that isn't necessarily popular but that you believe in, someone hijacks it with an immediate downvote and some comment to twist it around to make you the "bad guy" and people just pile on the bandwagon because snarkiness seems to beat arguments in places like that. People can't be bothered to read more than 2 lines. I thought that shit only happened on Reddit.
Hehe. The world is what you make of it, fellow human.
Quid pro quo, Brutus, quid. pro. quo. But I have sources, unbiased street surveys but they are paywalled you will have to trust me
What sources do you have?
I've had aliens visit me to tell me they've used their unfathomably advanced technology to prove beyond any doubt that I was right and that your sources were wrong. But you'll also have to trust me on this. Quid pro quo.
Either that or I just find that logo ugly. Pick whichever.
I knew it, only people who believe in aliens could be wrong about the Debian logo!
Thank you for being wrong. At least one other has thanked you, but this has improved my experience on lemmy
