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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
    •  

    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.

    Well it can only be 30 years at most

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Only 55 years since the epoch.

    Nothing before that matters.

    They say Dennis Ritchie created UNIX in 7 days...

    Others say Ken Thompson wrote Unix in three weeks. One week for the editor, one for the assembler and one for the file system.

    And then god said, "program in C"

    It's actually been 6 years or so. However, I love it so much that I built a time machine to continuously go back so I can use it more (makes no sense, I know, just roll with it) so for me it has been 84 years

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

    So you built a time machine to go back in time? I'm confused

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    Makes perfect sense, how else would one be able to use a distro without systemd.
