  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    Why does the mouse look like it had blot flies breed apon it?

    [–] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

    I think that's to prevent sweaty hands by allowing air to flow through the mouse and past your hand.

    [–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

    I like to breed things okay

    fedora, debian and arch linux user here, and no, as a man, I ain't rocking thigh-high socks, but if I was a woman, hell yeah I would.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    as a man, I ain't rocking thigh-high socks

    Is this because you actively choose to not wear them as a man, or because society will try to make you feel wrong for doing it?

    If the latter, then fuck everyone else.

    [–] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

    It has just never occurred to me that what I need while surfing the arch wiki at 3am are some thigh high socks.

    So yeah, it's me not society. Society can go fuck itself though, and if I had to wear them in solidarity with my linux fam, I probably would, just not as a regular thing.

    (and i have some hairy legs, I refuse to shave them so I don't imagine them looking that great on me either ahah)

    [–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

    That's the neat part, you don't have to be a woman to rock them.

    [–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

    I was under the impression the programmer socks were compulsory for anything requiring you to compile your own kernel

    [–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

    I'm a mint guy and cis, but I wear my socks at more of an ubuntu level. Is it because I also like functional programming?

    Shout out to all the cool trans geeks, though.

    You do not want to see an old-school greybeard dressing like this.

    You might think you do when you first imagine the concept, but no, you really don't.

    Source: Am at the very least greybeard adjacent.

    [–] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    That's funny because seeing that meme, I thought how interesting it was that the "hardcoreness" of a Linux user went from being measured by the length of the greybeard to the height of the programming socks.

    Although, I guess back then, the distros mentioned would probably have been revolving around Gentoo, void, slackware, and Linux from scratch. So I suppose greybeards don't necessarily need the high socks.

    Damn shame if you ask me.

    [–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Upvoted, for being the only one to mention

    void

    so far.

    :)

    [–] TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I mean, if your beliefs in the unix philosophy are still strong enough to do away with the convenience that is (or can be...) systemd, you deserve some respect.

    I am happy with my system and won't distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won't distrohop again, I am happy with my system and won't distrohop again...

    You don't want <300mb ram usage with sound+network+swaywm+dillo?
