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!

    But for real though, they had to know that having telemetry be on by default wasn't going to look good for the open source community.

    Especially with Red Hat's current shenanigans that just recently happened. I can't see how anyone thought this was a good idea OR good timing for it.

    Fedora is separate from Redhat for the most part. It has its own board that makes decisions

    Which is made of mostly RH people.

    OK your not entirely wrong but there are also community elections

    The discussion thread for Fedora specifically stated that the change was requested by Red Hat, as well.

    Power corrupts. Let this be a lesson in letting corporations get a foothold in open source.
