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.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

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.

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.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

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.

Off my lawn with that clickbait shit.

[–] festnt 12 points 3 months ago

lmao people think just because its satire it cant be clickbait, or that the clickbait won't work as clickbait

Here, read these:

so, hyperbole is about exaggerating stuff to make it humorous. the title and thumbnail look exactly like any other clickbaity video hating a distro would look like, meaning it fails that completely.

of course though, the video might do that pretty well, but i won't watch it. though if someone has something to say about the video, feel free to do so.

it is about a bug in ubuntu where the distro is named after a certain bird and also includes wallpapers with the bird also having the birds name in their name, but the bird in the image is a diferent type of bird, someone filed a bug report along will all kinds of detailed data. became big. then birds are extinct and government drones charging through induction pads on hv cables, while he's wearing a tinfoil hat. that is essentially a summary. the video itself is quite okay/funny. but the clickcait can be quite annoying indeed, even more so for the people who don't see the actual video and so assume Linux to be buggy.

The title is supposed to be satire, it’s supposed to make fun of clickbait titles

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

“lets make fun of clickbait by writing clickbait” uh huh

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

"literally unusable" is a common tech meme about people blowing tiny bugs out of proportion. You see it pretty commonly in video game discussions (like "literally unplayable") when there's tiny amounts of texture clipping or text alignment is barely off.

Mission failed I guess

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

It absolutely doesn’t work when 98% of content creators out there use this type of graphic unironically.

It just adds on to the list of videos to avoid, so they’ve achieved that.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

YouTube’s been shoving that corny thumbnail in my face all day and now I got to see it here? 😒

[–] RmDebArc_5 -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s satirical, I recommend it. The thumbnail is part of the joke

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

But his "serious" videos are just like this too, so not sure who he is supposed to be parodying; himself?

[–] festnt 16 points 3 months ago

so, about the title and thumbnail (i havent watched and won't watch the video):

satire doesnt work if what you do is the same as everyone else. like, if you're gonna make fun of someone by mimicking them satirically, you're supposed to be more extreme than whatever the person is doing.

this doesn't do that. it mimics the stuff it's trying to make fun of way too well, so it just looks like a normal clickbaity video about hating a linux distro.

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

I mean Brodie is a meme sure, but watching a video about it? Nah.
