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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Microsoft has always copied a lot from Apple, it's been a running joke since the early 1990s.

    What I really hate is that pretty much every tech company sees Apple as "the cool kid" and desperately tries to emulate it, failing to understand what makes Apple Apple (snob attitude towards everyone, overpriced shit, tyrannical grip on its ecosystem, marketing everything as luxury) and how it achieved success (by stealing and copying ideas from others, focusing on UX (mostly, but not always))

    Well, Steve did tell them they have a gold mine with the mouse thing and other innovative solutions they had going... they didn't listen 🤷... a bunch of hippies doing weird things according to management, a waste of time and resources. Oh well, we're just gonna take your ideas, thank you very much 🤷.
