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!

    You missed the point where I said "...and move on."

    The fact that I dislike it doesn't change the fact that it's prevalent, and so I use systemd every day.

    It's the same with any technology I need. Ansible is a mostly awful language, but I need it to do my job, so I buckle down and use it. Git is...well actually git is pretty awesome.

    A decade (or two?) ago, perl was the language of choice for complex admin tasks, despite being a nightmare to maintain. Now we have mostly moved to python and ruby, which are generally much better.

    My point is that just because a standard (process, tool, etc.) is flawed, we don't refuse to use it; and conversely, just because we use a tool doesn't make it immune to valid criticism.

    Hah! That made my day. I'd high five you, but I hurt all over from fencing last night. :-)
