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!

    Famous email

    I wasn't aware of that email, only the quote itself.

    ...not gonna lie, I think that it was beautiful. I have my bones to pick with pulseaudio but come on, you don't shift blame like this, the guy deserved some smacking.

    On-topic: I have my doubts if policy is enough to enforce it, or at least to enforce it in an efficient way.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

    Well this is it. What really enforces the policy is rejecting commits that break user space.

    Now if you've got a large enough group of devs, rejecting commits is fine, but if you've only got a small group you need everyone to be working productively, and you can see why Linus ended up giving angry feedback about commits that were wasting everyone's time.
