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.

    The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released on March 24, 2001. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and all releases from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to macOS 14 Sonoma are UNIX 03 certified

    I don't like MacOS, but it's actually able to be called UNIX.

    I'm surprised you don't lose Unix certification with crap like case insensitive filesystem defaults.

    [–] aidan 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I don't want to be like Stack Overflow, but tbh you have some design problems if you rely on case sensitive filesystems.

    I haven’t heard this before, what are they?

    [–] aidan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Most importantly readability and usability for the user and debugging. Some programs aren't case sensitive.

    [–] QuaternionsRock 4 points 1 year ago

    That last point is somewhat amusing considering you have to go out of your way to make your program case-insensitive.

    Both HFS Plus and APFS can have case sensitivity enabled, it's optional.

    Enabling it has had a tendency to break third party Mac software though. Adobe used to be a particularly bad offender there.

    And Steam.

    Being able to be called Unix just means paying for certification. No more, no less.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    Well you still have to check all the boxes, you pay for the license the same way you can study and take certain exams but have to pay for the certificate.
