- 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
sudoin 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.

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.

Well, it was. It's not the reliable, stable OS it was only a few years ago. It has really pushed the envelope for stupid since its first foray into Dumb for EL6.
Yeah. This irks me even more because the US Gov:
A. Has laws that could have prevented IBM from buying RedHat.
B. Knows it relies on RedHat for securing critical systems.
C. Didn't do shit about the purchase.
Ideally, each government would look out for the public's interest, in these things. But in this case, it failed to even look out for it's own interests (which would have aligned, in this case).
US Government: “Anti-trust? Pfft, keep that ~~bribery~~ lobbying train coming and we will absolutely trust you.”
The Public: That’s not what “trust” means… oh…
"We stopped applying antitrust laws because they were hurting trust in corporations"
You are assuming the various departments talk. It is kind of a love hate relationship.
