1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    The video for reference

    I don't understand the linux/programming socks meme though. I've met way more overweight, unshaven, smelly nerds than people wearing striped socks anywhere. At one convention there was one single person with cat ears, but that was it. Where does this association even come from when it's so rare (at least in my experience)?

    It's more of an association in the opposite direction in my experience. A very low percentage of the Linux using ppl I know are trans, but a surprisingly high percentage of the trans fems I know use Linux.

    That's a good explanation. Thank you.

    Dammit, do I have to buy a fur suit now?

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

    No...

    -t if you already have one!:-P

    Devs have to get striped thigh highs.

    Admins have to get fur suits.

    Users have to grow a beard and pony tail.

    Home-labbers must choose two from the above.

    Them's the rules.

    I think you are forgetting that most home-labbers probably can't afford to get a fur suit due to their homelab.

    Okay, got the beard and pony tail, so if I don't want to be itchy, it's thigh highs.

    Question: are my little pony stockings acceptable, or do they have to be hello kitty themed?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    MLP is only acceptable if you also call yourself "anon" and regularly browse 4chan.

    Hello kitty is preferred, but any Sanryo character is perfectly valid.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Dammit.

    Wait! Is rainbow bright an acceptable compromise?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    You mean you don't own one already??

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Well, I've been faking it by running around naked all the time. Benefit of being half sasquatch.

    You're furry final boss

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

    Seriously, I want that purple fur suit now. Where can I buy one?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    No, you can rent-to-own, if you'd prefer.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Isn't that kinda like borrowing a used condom?

    Not that I'm complaining, I've done that a few times in emergencies

    Ah, you know how it is. You get all frisky, but you forgot to pick up a box. So, your homie pulls theirs off, you turn it inside out and go to it.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

    I most certainly do not know how this specific thing is xD

    I will say however, you took the saying "Improvise, Adapt, Overcome" to heart haha

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It's more like bowling shoes. They spray them down with something that kills the germs.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

    But that would just kill me!
