1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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 never heard of someone rooting their phone due to a 12 year old on tiktok telling them to

I'm not saying that they did it because a TikTok told them too, I'm saying its because that's how a lot of the younger generation happens to search.

Just one example:

https://www.businessinsider.com/nearly-half-genz-use-tiktok-instagram-over-google-search-2022-7

I for one, would NOT trust some rando 30 second clickbait video telling me how to root my phone, but you can sure as shit bet that a ton of school aged children are doing that to play some cracked APK they got from a sketchy website because their parents wouldn't buy them a 99c game.

Those same kids have bank and google pay apps setup on their phone so they can make purchases when they are out and about. I see kids using their phone for vending machine purchases ALL THE TIME.

Edit: Since this is a meme community, little bit of rage bait for ya: All the TikTokers coming out with the downvotes :)

No offense but you sound SO old lol. Tiktok isn't just full of 12 year old's and hasn't been since, well, probably since covid started. With what a shit show standard search engines are these days I don't blame them for searching what they know. There's plenty of good info on tiktok that's being presented by people that know their craft. The short format is nice too because it keeps them from telling their whole life story before they show me what I need to know.

The fact that you're just basing your whole opinion here on an article kinda says it all really. I would have hoped my generation would outgrow this boomer bullshit but here we are.

Y'all are so worried about using things like Google pay but it's going to become a standard whether you like it or not. It's just another way to pay for shit and banks reimburse scammy bullshit just like they do if your card info gets stolen.
