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!

    Both of them:

    Program: crashes

    weirdoldlib.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Googles wierdoldlib.so.13

    Comes across forum post:

    "Hey guys, I'm trying to run this ancient-ass game, and Linux says I need this thing apparently?"

    "Update: never mind, I fixed it."

    A wave of rage crashed over me at that last line. WHYYYY do they always do that?

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Or they leave a link to the solution.

    The link is dead.

    And is not on archive.org either.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    There should be an app that every time you copy a link to the clipboard it sends a request to archive.org to archive that url.

    Sounds like a security nightmare but it could work in certain cases (like just yesterday I was sharing a google drive link, I probably don't want that to be archived)

    I always thought one day stack overflow would join April fool's and display variations of "never mind, found it" on every question instead of the users' response, but it never happened and now that the site is no longer generally relevant if wouldn't be as fun anymore.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Why is stack overflow no longer relevant?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

    Isn't it dying? I haven't seen any numbers tbh, it just feels like it is.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

    That last line....deep breath...
