  • 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.

    I have an Epson inkjet that I'm not going to throw away yet. It's 6 years old though, not sure if they still make it.

    My gripe with inkjets, expensive / DRM'd cartridges aside, is the ink just dries up or gets used in maintenance cycles whether you print or not.

    Or is yours one of the tank models? I think those are less inefficient in that regard, right?

    As far as I know, the tank models are just as bad. They need to flush the system, which they do onto a sponge which when saturated means the printer is broken.

    Mine is a cartridge model, an XP-830 "Small-in-One" that gets used...maybe once a year. As I said I'm not throwing it away yet. Further info: I bought a tablet computer specifically so that I wouldn't have to print out my drawings for use in the wood shop, because I want to stop printing things entirely.

    Something I always enjoy during the TOS era movies is when they pull out actual paper. Like during Wrath of Kahn IIRC they pull out a physical paper book that has Reliant's SSH codes to disable the shields. Another happens during Undiscovered Country when they need to actually speak Klingon, they get out a bunch of paper books. The Federation has a printing office.
