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!

    I'm not so sure if that had any subtext in it or not. It's hard to detect sarcasm over a medium like this.

    Being autistic doesn't help detect sarcasm either.

    Sorry, it wasn't supposed to be sarcastic. As I read it I thought it was ambiguous too, but for some reason I couldn't think of a way to clarify. Somehow I forgot about the existence of tone indicators.

    I've been pretty out of it due to significant physical pain. I've been using Lemmy as a way to talk to strangers I treat as friends, as a distraction I don't think too much about. I'm sorry for any confusion. I send a stranger's well wishes.

    I'm genuinely happy for you that Windows works. It didn't for me, but that's alright. And sometimes an OS is just a tool, not an identity.
