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.

    The Oregon for anyone interested https://xkcd.com/356/

    P.S. I had to look at someone stretching their butthole open with both hands for this, your welcome.

    I google xkcd nerd sniper and went to images. The very first fucking option was the comic where the last panel was just a pic of someone stretching their asshole open.

    Same with mechanical keyboard nerds but they also have an effect of throwing switches at you at high speeds.

    I'll never understand the fixation with keyboards

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It's like audiophilia but for fingers.

    Hey the sounds play a big part too! It benefits 4 senses: Visual, Auditory, Sensory and Pride

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    And of those, pride is the biggest. I'm really proud of my keyboards.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    I didn't get it either but I got a mechanical keyboard and I can say typing all my papers feels nicer. It makes sense for people that type a lot.

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

    Me neither. Though I do enjoy my mechanical keyboard. Got a fairly cheap Logitech one, MX browns and white only backlighting. Pretty dope

    I don't want to ask but ... what does "ricer" even mean?

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Originated in car culture to describe people who take Japanese economy cars and make them look like they're from The Fast And The Furious while doing nothing to improve actual performance.

    RICE = Rotary Internal Combustion Engine

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Aah, thanks!

    Ricing is the name for extensively customizing your environment. Usually your desktop environment or your window manager or both.

    Ricers are people who spend unreasonable amounts of time tweaking their OS to create something somewhat pretty but very often wildly impractical for any actual real world usage of a computer. Anime girls and drawings of japanese landscapes are usually involved.

    practically over-engineering for styling.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    synonym for theming, iirc

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Ah yes, XCFE, my favorite DE

    I wonder if he left it in intentionally so that he could do the same to people who get an itch reading typos (myself included), or it was an honest typo.

    Are arch linux ricers worth 3 or 5 points?

    Inb4 someone asks how to do this

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    It's pretty simple!

    first you find a group of people you want to have run over by a lorry.

    Second you print out an interesting puzzle retaltes to their field.

    Third you wait until they cross a road and present the puzzle

    Fourth, ???

    Fifth Profit.
