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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    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 remove France.

    Everything on the left (except Tux) is terrible today and that's fine, things evolve. It would be fun to see modern versions of each of those logos though.

    I was so in love with Pidgin for a while that I even made a mock-up for how to improve it. I think I still have blog posts up about it.

    Including Tux, they look like theyโ€™re from the 90s (probably because they are). Iโ€™m glad we donโ€™t see much of the branding mascots anymore, even Tux isnโ€™t really heard of now.

    All the mascots retired into SuperTuxKart.

    Firefox 3 was published in 2008. This post is 16 years old.

    I still use pidgin and finch.... They're admittedly wonky but the only way I've figured out how to get a lightweight client for m$ teams (need for work..)

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

    I think they just meant the logos are terrible, rather than the software

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

    I used pidgin all the time about 10 years ago for MSN. Has it changed?

    [โ€“] rambaroo 4 points 11 months ago

    Gnu, Firefox, and gcc are not terrible

    How dare you to hate on Wilber and Gnu. Thoose look better than tux imo

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    I love pidgin, I'd still use it if they'd support OMEMO, OTR being outdated and all.
