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!

    Macos as King deeply offends me in a way I didn't think possible.

    That's just some dude that bought a crown.

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

    An overly expensive crown.

    I mean if we were talking accurately the public bought the crown for him in the case of Apple.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    It's a user. Which is apt, because it's either someone who thinks a crown makes a king (and falls for bullshit like mac is better for x) or wants everyone to see their expensive crown that they own and it's theirs.

    Most Mac users I've encountered aren't like this... One or two can be, I see just as much if not more elitism in the Linux community

    Although Windows doesn't fit at all. Windows NT was based on VMS which came from RSX-11. Rsx-11 was the OS running on the Pdp-11 on which Unix was written.

    I dunno. It does seem accurate to me. Monarchies throughout history were just people who were given a mandate by their diety to rule and had the resources to pay a strong enough army to "correct" anyone who suggested otherwise.
