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!

    I don't think I've ever gotten a physical prescription in real, ever. I'm 30 years old. It's been digital as long as I can remember.

    In Sweden we have public social security numbers, they are comprised of your birthdate and 4 unique numbers, so for example 19950927-2466. So in the past, before smart phones, you'd just give the social security number (or just an identifying document) to the chemist, and they'd give you your prescription. Now we can identify via BankID (which has been around since the early 2000s) so in many cases we don't even need any ID documents.

    BankID is essentially a certificate installed on your phone/computer that's been issued by your bank, hence your bank is saying "yes this person is who they claim they are." BankID is used for everything too. When I log on to my grocery store's website, I use BankID, then I need to use BankID to verify whenever I want to use a debit/credit card to purchase anything.
