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 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Try removing any unused language packs! I've heard that the French one takes up allot of space, remove it with sudo rm -rf /

    /s

    You mean the Rfench one?

    [–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

    you messed up

    sudo rm -fr /*

    [–] dabster291@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

    no /s, this actually works

    /s

    You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    BleachBit? Wipe with a cloth?

    Thank you, I was making a tongue in cheek reference to this though: https://www.bleachbit.org/cloth-or-something

    [–] swab148@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

    LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!

    Nono, -rf deletes all your files. Use sudo rm -fr /* instead to actually delete the French language pack!

    also /s

    edit: someone already made the joke, darn
