Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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.

Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin' dare ya.

Edit: we want Falcon 9's landing guidance software too.

[–] evidences 99 points 5 months ago (16 children)

Open sourcing the falcon 9 software would almost definitely be a violation of ITAR.... On second thought it would be fun to see him go to prison.

[–] jelloeater85 65 points 5 months ago

Nothing could possibly go wrong open sourcing a ~~missle~~ rocket guidance system...

No, not just open, free it entirely. License the code under a GPL license.

Careful Linus. This guy may start claiming he is a confounder of Linux any moment now.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 months ago

Musk certainly is confounding.

The nice thing about Linux is, he can't buy it and fuck it up.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 5 months ago (13 children)

He can still fuck up the community.

You say that, but I'll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.

Broken clock.

[–] ZILtoid1991 77 points 5 months ago (9 children)

He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.

Elon just tries to get approval by finding a dominate opinion among a group of people and parroting back what they say and want. Kinda obvious and pathetic.

Is it purely because Linux has the letter "X" in it?

[–] Randelung 40 points 5 months ago (2 children)

First thing he'll do is write Torvalds and suggest a minor change to the naming.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 45 points 5 months ago (1 children)

given Linus' flair for writing replies, I would love to see him rip into Elon.

Sorry Elon you, specifically, have to go to space before getting involved in Linux. It's the Shuttleworth law.
