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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    What if they work like in MGS4

    How do those guns work? I haven't played the game.

    Soldiers have nanomachines (in Metal Gear nanomachines can be replaced with magic) in them that work like ID tags and guns only work when they detect it

    So.... Magic? I mean, sure, if we had perfect magic that knew who could and could not be trusted to use your gun, fine. In a practical sense, all you need to prevent other people from using your guns is a lock. I put a lock on my closet. If the aren't under my supervision, they're behind at least one lock.

    RFID implants are a thing in humans

    RFID implants can't infect you with another dude's personality like nanomachines in MGS4.

    The closest approximation is Amiibos turning you into a Smash Ultimate tryhard, where they're all the same dude.

    They could be used to identify yourself to a gun tho

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Then they would be hackable for unauthorized use with the right nanomachines, son

    Geez no spoilers

    Haven't played that one, so I don't know which on it is.

    Smart guns in Cyberpunk seems interesting, but I don't think that most anti-gun people would be that happy about Skippy being real.
