Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Damn, that was a lot more intense than I expected, but the man speaks the truth!

Fantastic video

Both of your posts to this community are videos that were posted a few hours earlier. Should have a peek before you post.

Why does Lemmy not prevent duplicate links, at least within a time window?

[–] grue 5 points 1 day ago

I guess because it's only at like version 0.2? There's probably lots of things that it should do, but doesn't yet.

Not everyone has time to read through all the posts on lemmy.

Maybe he was watching YouTube and decided to share it here before going to work.

I’d rather people over share on this platform than not share at all.

Also, I did not see this post before.

Not to be that guy but no one expects someone to stumble on earlier posts and thus not repost them. But you can quite easily search for them before reposting the exact same thing. One requires luck the other requires care. It's similar to not asking for support with an issue that's already been discussed in a separate users question.

That doesn’t matter. I never saw the post before, so I would never have seen it if it were not for the repost.

I’m sure in not the only one.

Statistically sure but then it's on the algorithm to recommend stuff that interests you more. Reposting things is just spoofing the recommendation algorithm and making things more likely to bubble up to you which is always going to cut both ways. Some people want duplication, others don't.

You know if people care about reposts so much then maybe lemmy should check for you before you post.

Literally after 2 LTT posts https://lemmy.world/post/23877537

I already posted this here yesterday.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 5 points 1 day ago

Then you're not allowed to post it again for a week. Those are the rules. Others have to repost in the meantime.
