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.
  • 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
  • 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.
    • Β 

    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.

    I used a flip phone for years are you telling me linux phones can't make phone calls?

    [–] lemmeee 8 points 1 year ago

    If you remember the special procedure needed to not fry your SIM, they supposedly can

    Linux phones don't fry your SIM though? Mine's fine.

    Flu doesn't kill people though? I'm fine.

    Flu has been proven to kill people.

    The PinePhone has not killed any of my SIMs, and I've heard of nobody else having that happen. Nowhere on Pine64 conmunities. The burden of proof is on the one which made the claim that PinePhones kill SIM cards.

    Stop spreading lies like "Pinephone kills SIMs". And if it truly did happen to yours are you sure the SIM didn't stop working because of the PinePhone and would have done anyways?

    Librems kill SIMs. Go on the forum and check.

    thats absolutely fucked, lol. Why even sell these if they cant make calls

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    They can. And I've never heard of them frying SIMs. I had my SIM in one for a year and it still works fine.
