1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β

    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.

    You are really salty about this for someone who claims they don't care.

    I don't care as long as the other party doesn't care as well.

    No-one is lording their superiority over you. You just have an inferiority complex because the majority has decided to prioritise different things from what you would choose. And when someone takes shots at people who think "their" idea of optimal is the one true solution, it hits a bit close to home.

    It litelarly is more optimal... faster, better... fuck, I'm not gonna quote Daft Punk πŸ˜‚.

    Again, stop saying you, I'm right there with you at the terminal, I'm just not dumb enough to think we can or should bring everyone else up here.

    Not trying to bring them over to the dark side. Just don't say it's "drrrr πŸ€ͺ" when you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

    And why the fuck would I think those users having the OS hold their hands are the smart ones? The whole point is that dumb people should get to use computers, too.

    They should, I completely agree... but they should know their place, just like I know mine. I don't pretend I'm a dev just because I wrote a few stupid apps and open a few PRs here and there. I'm a geek, that's all.

    I'm starting to think you are exactly the elitist gatekeeper the original meme was aimed at.

    Close to home? More like bullseye.

    You're even defending your optimal as if your circumstance were the only one that counts.

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    But it literaly IS more optimal... how hard is that to grasp.

    My point was, do whatever you want, just don't make fun of those that actually do stuff the way they were intended to be done in the first place. Use a GUI, hell use an AI for all I care, it's your computer, not mine 🀷.

    Not if you're incapable of learning it... A hammer is optimal for a nail, doesn't mean you should use it as a saw. How hard is that to grasp?

    And my point is, you're a snowflake who can't take a joke. The original meme can be interpreted hurtfully, but you have to choose to do so by giving it way more weight than you ever should a meme.

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Well, I know one thing, I'm a lot less of a snowflake than a lot of people here are.

    [–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, all-in-all, your contributions are great. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be told off for getting vindictive.

    And if you wanted to take a swing at me, something like "at least I'm not a care-bear" would have worked better.

    Shit... I just realized I was talking to a mod that maintains half the Fediverse πŸ˜‚.

    And if you wanted to take a swing at me, something like "at least I'm not a care-bear" would have worked better.

    Yeah, that is a good comeback 😁. I'm not that good EQ wise to be honest, but I try πŸ˜‚.
