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.

    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.
