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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    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 remove France.

    I don't understand why Windows is on the "no" side of "do you fear technology?"

    [โ€“] Godnroc@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Well, the other side would be operating systems you can't really screw up too badly because they are locked down harder, so perhaps it's fear of the unknown?

    definitely this

    people buy macs for macos or Chromebooks for chrome os because "windows just sucks because it breaks all the time" mentality you always see on Twitter

    There are way more windows power users than mac power users

    [โ€“] phoneymouse@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Agree. Windows sucks ass. Most professional software developers I know use MacOS actually.

    [โ€“] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I'd give up half of my salary to use windows instead of macos for my dev work.

    [โ€“] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Thatโ€™s a lot of money, but same sentiment in the opposite. I would avoid any dev job requiring me to use Windows. Chances are theyโ€™re also using some crap tech stack too.

    I've seen plenty shit stacks on macos tbf. Windows has better window management which saves a lot of time when you're juggling between seperate windows.
