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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Seeing big companies take advantage of BSD or MIT licensed projects without sharing their contributions will always pain me. (lemmy.world)

    I know Luke Smith is controversial, but this Blogpost of him is kinda funny and fits the topic:

    Why I Use the GPL and Not Cuck Licenses

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (8 children)

    To an extent I agree with this, but "Once upon a time, this guy licensed his code under BSD instead of GPL and basically it's his fault the Intel Management Engine exists" is definitely a step too far

    Tanenbaum is right, they obviously could've taken the time and money to write an OS themselves if they had to, but they didn't have to, because a BSD license cuck wrote it for them. Thanks a lot, sucker!

    I have no issues with this point.

    But what’s up with the CIA “a bunch of n****rs” image above that? WTF?

    It's in reference to one of the recurring themes that came up in the blogs and streams of Terry A. Davis, sole developer of TempleOS.

    I was half hoping for something like that. I like to believe bigots are a lot less common than their loudness would suggest.

    Still terribly problematic and such a niche, ephemeral, reference.
