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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

    Turns out Dolphin just replaces the forward slash with U+2044 “Fraction Slash” character, hence, not requiring any escape. I’d call that cheating, but it works well.

    called it, i knew someone would use illegal characters eventually.

    I would have a problem if a terminal app were to do something like this, but for GUI apps, it is expected for them to make stuff easier.
    And I feel like, if you were to use a slash in a file name, it would most probably be either an "or" slash or a fraction slash, so the substitution is fine in my books.

    illegal characters

    Not sure about calling it that, considering it is a standard UTF-8 character. (0x2044 in UTF-16)

    it's close enough, i generally consider an "illegal" character a non typable character. Especially these alt characters that are visually hard to distinguish from others such as the forward slash for example, i believe this was the same character used for a handful of somewhat clever phishing scams.

    Seems like it's fair enough to me.
