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. 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.

    I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that's really REALLY valuable to me.

    I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.

    I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there's bound to be a couple I don't understand but that's not a problem for me, if every participant consented.

    I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.

    2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe πŸ€”

    From what I've seen while Linux support is okay for the Surface line, it's just not there yet to make sense as an "upgrade" power management and wireless still need some work if I recall correctly.

    Oh, very nice, thanks for the heads-up. I might try now! Do you know of any foss app that could replace whiteboard? I don't like the MS ecosystem, but using the pen in whiteboard is pretty transformative use for me. I could ditch it but I would miss it.

    It is not a kink. It's a hobby. For the vast majority, at least.

    This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

    Sounds like weakness to me comrade.

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

    I think I'm hopping to TempleOS. It's going to take more than Windows to save me from this.

    I remember it so clearly man... The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn't listen. They don't ever listen.

    I'll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

    Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

    I regularly fire up my windows XP box to play hearts and muck about in Codewarrior

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us "it's going to be zero day heaven!" they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    Excuse me? 🀨

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

    You need a squirrel army to start the uprising to eat the rich, obviously

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

    I'm sure they mean an elegant dinner party to honor them and not eating your extended family as a light snack before bedtime.

    I think it would be wise to disconnect it from the internet, wifi and bluetooth; then it should be fine.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

    "downgrading" caught me off guard.

    Oh no! Linux transed my gender! Again! (I'm agender but that wouldn't be as funny)

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

    I always imagine linux as a little hidden door to a speakeasy, but turns out to be narnia.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

    Debian ahoy!

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

    Already dual booting. Haven't used Linux since 2010 so it's been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven't booted into windows for about 2 months now and it's been great for gaming.
