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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    And also on the posts about Linux. And the posts linking any tech-related news. And posts asking for any kind of tech support. And on...

    Any post complaining or even talking about tech isn't complete without someone recommending linux or dropping their whole neofetch

    "My game is kinda stuttering once an hour and..."

    "Have you tried deleting everything and installing Linux?"

    Honestly the only people I try to "convert" to Linux are my friends who already hate Windows, which is most of them these days.

    Sadly a lot of them either still regularly use programs we can't get running on Linux yet (okay it's mostly Fortnite...). Or they're not the most tech literate people and switching to a whole new OS seems like an impossible task.

    Only gotten two peeps on board the Linux train and they both had previous experience with it from school or work.

    Solution regarding Fortnite: Hook them on a game that runs well on Linux 😁.

    I never understood the premise of that porn. There is a guy sitting in a metro train with his fully errect cock and people are not doing anything. The lady sits next to the guy who has a tank top but nothing else? Also why does he have a fully errect cock? Imagine the tension and embarrassment you'll get in that situation. No one can maintain a fully errect cock in that space. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    This guy is invisible to most people. Only this girl (and as later revealed in the third episode another black girl) can see him. Hence the temptation

    Why pron-based memes are so fucking hilarious

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (5 children)

    why do we have to use porn for meme templates?

    [–] chuckleslord 80 points 8 months ago

    Why can't we? There's a mountain of non-porn memes, just use those if you want. It's not like porn memes are the only memes.

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 8 months ago (3 children)

    Memes die when they become too widely spread and your elderly relatives start using them wrong on Facebook. People like porn memes because they have a little extra shock value, and will never be ruined by aunt Gertrude using it.

    The correct answer! 👍

    I too need to verify the source material to scrutinize this accusation.

    Bottom right of image. Search list is short

    fortunately, with OSS, you don't "have" to use anything! swap your CLI, your GUI, your meme template! Linux has it all!

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

    U a meme cop or something?

    What's this "we"

    I just gave them facts. If they take that as me trying to convince them they might want to evaluate why facts sway them more than propaganda does.

    I evangelize Linux irl by simply keeping my computer always tuned up, up to date and working well. It's inevitable that someone's windows or mac shitbook will do something shitty and people will pay attention to me just for not having the same problems as them. For example the other day by brother wanted to watch spongebob, his macbook wouldn't let him connect to the TV so I plugged it right in to Arch Linux and it worked like a charm. Sometimes the superiority of Linux simply speaks for itself.

    Sounds weird, I prefer Mint

    I don't try convert anyone. I just try to let people know they can get away from their abusers.

    When someone recommends Linux I'll just assume they use arch.

    I use arch btw.
