  • 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!

    Both KDE and Mac OS do this. Out of curiosity, which one did it first?

    Plasma's shake cursor plugin is a pretty recent addition, according to KDE's GitLab it originally got merged just 10 months ago. Enabled by default since 6.1 (June 2024), with high-resolution cursor coming shortly after that iirc. So it's basically the same as on macOS now, but only since a few months. I don't know exactly when macOS introduced it, I've read somewhere it was with El Capitan, so that would be 9 years ago. Either way, macOS definitely had it first.

    If I had to guess for Mac I’d say 5 years max. No idea about KDE

    Been in Mac OS since El Capitan (10.11.0) in 2015

    This blows my mind, I remember when they announced the feature and it does not seem like nearly 10 years ago. Guess I’m older than I think!
