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 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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.
  • 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 

    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.

    It's hard to believe there is anyone who would care so much about Windows that they naturally get this dedicated to crusading for it.

    We know now days that there are people getting paid to discredit vegans online, and that's the only explanation for this that makes sense to me.

    Not just windows.. They just hate Linux.

    The reason I think they're an Apple user though, is that Apple users also defend BSD (since, the MacOS core was essentially unix based), and the culture changed a bit to look down on windows less when the intel macs were released with Windows.

    I used to sell gear, and a lot of Apple people tend to just like to attack linux in my experience

    The funny thing is that they say "linux doesn't run any games", but, MacOS has always sucked at games

    discredit vegans

    lolwat?

    like, "yeah it's true, they're all eating bacon when we aren't looking-" ?

    my deceased FIL was a ms cheerleader for decades, went to MSDN events, had a home office fuckin chock fulla MS credentials and certificates (wooden displays plaques) - he would talk about Linux being a) useless hobbyist OS that'll never be reliable for REAL jobs (this was already delusional in the late 90s) and b) it'll be 'outlawed because they're gonna find stolen code watch'.

    so just fyi, some people are deranged and ideologically motivated, his was probably due to insecurity about MS - even back then it was heinously expensive (CAL's and licence management being one of his main jobs and a source of constant budget overages).... wonder what he'd think of today's ms with bash and linux lol...

    Why do you think there's such an interest in VFIO and passing a graphics card thru to a VM? You think all these people are just happily making their own cloud gaming Stadia clone? Nah fam, they're fucking cheaters trying to hide their tracks. For every five legit posts there's a "why can't I get BattleEye/EAC to work in a VM?" JUST STOP CHEATING BRO

    Oh this is like when epstien got moot to reboot 4chan.

    Same verbiage.

    Guess they think trans folks are getting steamrolled hard enough now, and are coming for us, boys

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

    Talk about projection...

    I'm all for pointing and making fun of the questionable stuff that Unix/Linux does, some as old as the first versions!, but that comm is just the mod/owner haturbaiting against Linux.

    I just switched from reddit to Lemmy, and I did not know madthumbs is here. Does bleak21 exist here as well?

    [–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Oh he's a known entity over there? I only became aware when I saw the schizoposting here. Does he do the same anti linux crusade on reddit or does he have a different schtick?

    [–] provectus@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    Same thing except, he owns a sub linuxsucks101. Madthumbs goes there to post dumb ai images and ai essays. He also goes once in a while to r/linuxmemes and r/linuxsucks to post more ai garbage. Funnily enough there is a sub, linuxsucks101sucks.

    Good to know he's consistent and dedicated. It's lemmy, we've got all sorts of loonies over here, he's just particularly nuts

    I'm more criminal. I protest government laws I don't like, commit anti-gov acts when disrespected or dehumanised by said gov, and I vehemently oppose corporate exploitation to the point that, in political terminology, I "don't recognise" their authority. More so, my penchant for privacy will likely be criminalised before the decade is out.

    [–] Folstar@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago

    That's like, only 75% accurate, man.

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

    lol I need to read more of the linuxsucks com.

    [–] pech@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

    If using Linux is wrong, I don't want to be right.

    cheaters in what? like do we exploit life?

    [–] belunos@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Linux is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. I manage Linux and Windows servers, they're both just tools. While this guy is a dipshit, I do wonder about people that worship at the alter of Linus.

    [–] Ptsf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

    Would you rather use a tool that's yours or a tool that's on corporates leash? If it's for my job I'm using whichever they give me, if it's for me they can rightly fuck off with their corpo nonsense unless the alternative isn't able to do the job. At least how I see it.

    WTF? Where is this from? I have no context.

    [–] GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    seems like a parody of the news with the same title but "religious people" as subject instead, I've seen it these days.

    Well, it's a Threadiverse community. Doesn't say the instance name, but you can search lemmyverse.net, and lemmy.world is usually a good bet anyway, since a large portion of communities are on there.

    can't decide which one I am feeling closer to. Commie? I speak russian

    It was me, ~~the Bay Harbor Butcher~~ ~~Dio!~~ ~~Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick~~ a Linux user.

    How does being one preclude the other? Where are the nerdy commies? The geeky criminals?
