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.

    This meme shows up here way too often...like every other day....

    [–] hansl 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Obviously there’s a need for people in this comm to uninstall their boot loaders, and a frustration that Windows won’t let them.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    They can take my footguns when they pry them from my cold dead hands.

    [–] hansl 5 points 1 year ago

    cold dead ~~hands~~ feet

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

    Noticed that too, my memory is absolute godshit and even I remember having seen it at least twice now in the current recency.

    In case anyone is wondering, that pile of symbols means true in brainfuck

    [–] killeronthecorner 22 points 1 year ago

    I wasn't wondering. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Wait, all of that for just a Boolean true value or is that some sort of logical expression?

    Me: "I'm going to change Python3 default to >3.7" Ubuntu: scream in exceptions

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    pyenv and chill. Practical default it in your shells without messing with what installed packages expect.

    Yeah, but still those packages should probably not be calling the generic python3 if they need a specific version of python. If they depend on system installed pip packages, there's got to be a better solution.

    Wait... Microsoft is still pretending that having their web browser installed is vital to the continued operation of their OS?

    [–] yyyesss 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Mac does the same. You can't remove Safari and you can't sudo chmod 0 /Applications/Safari.app

    Ask me how I know 😒

    Well, in their eyes, it seems vital to be sending me adverts as notifications, I guess it's probably also vital that those adverts have a browser to link through

    Did we not teach them a lesson about this in the 90s?

    [–] Ensign_Crab 12 points 1 year ago

    The lesson they learned in the 90s is that you can drag a trial out long enough to get a favorable administration in office to give you a slap on the wrist.

    that brainfuck code gives a memory error :(

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

    No way you actually tested it. It would be impressive

    This is the correct piece of ~~shit~~ code, somehow my lemmy app didn't write it well in the title

    The first thing I do on every install. Delete the bootloader and all the bloat files in /. Especially those goddamned .files

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (15 children)

    Aaaaannddd again.

    Install Linux, drop any and all Microsoft software, you don't need it

    Fuck everything about Microsoft

    And lately I'd like to add Google yo this too, but at least google has working and dependable products

    Bailing out, you are on your own now. Good luck.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    I swear I've seen this meme like 10 times

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    Rookie numbers. Between Reddit, Twitter and Lemmy, I'm at 50+ right now.

    Please, have mercy, I have seen this meme sooo many times already...

    [–] saltesc 6 points 1 year ago

    Back when Windows 98 just released and I was a kid, my friend's dad used his Acer boot CD to boot into DOS and rename the Windows directory to Linux.

    C is the same. Free to do whatever you want until the system stops you. Yet people hate coding in C for some reason, as there isn't enough hand holding.

    [–] artvabas 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    Where C stop, continue in Assembly!

    I recognized it as Brainfuck, but assumed it was going to be a fork bomb for some reason.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    You can't fork in brainfuck 🤣 but I was thinking it was going to be a non-terminating program.

    (I ran it and it actually outputs Wipp ... which I'm now left wondering the meaning of.)

    Uninstalling the bootloader will brick your device.
    Are you sure you want to uninstall the bootloader?

    Society has stopped to extremes.
