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.

    What if you don't fear technology, have no life, and are technologically behind and don't understand what anything but the apple and windows symbols are? I recognize the penguin from an EEE PC that I had like 15 years ago, but that's it.

    *Sorry I also recognize Google, just not immediately apparently.

    Gotta ask the grandkids for help

    [–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

    The worst part is I'm not old enough for grandkids lmao.

    In that case, I guess it's time to get educated about Linux. At least to the point, where you understand, that what I'm referring to, should actually be called "GNU/Linux".

    *"I recognize Google" is also not Google itself, but specifically the Chrome Logo that refers to Chrome OS in this case.

    You’re a human with the knowledge of a time lord! You know more than you let on don’t you.

    They’re distributions that add onto an open source set of softwares - including a kernel and common utilities - that can be made into a fully fledged operating system.

    Together the family of OSes are referred to as Linux systems since the kernel (the main bit of an OS) is called Linux.

    Oooh I don't want to spoil new episodes for anyone so I can't actually respond to the Time Lord knowledge bit, but I feel like I recognized some of the words you used lmao.

    Oh the 60th specials are so much fun aren’t they? I can’t wait for the last one!

    [–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I am loving the specials and I am so glad to have "my" Doctor and companion back, if only for a short time.

    [–] SkyeHarith@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    RTD has really captured the magic of the original run. My doctor was Matt smith but David tenant is just so wholesome!

    [–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    He really is, so is his wife. And he slays every role he plays. I rarely miss an opportunity to catch him on screen.

    And I am so glad RTD is back! Moffat was fun and all, but both he and Chibnall were better at the short stories that could be told in an episode or two.

    Have you seen the giggle yet? What do you think of the twist at the end?

    [–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    Not very twisty. But I think that since the Timeless Child story arc literally anything is possible with the Doctor. He's literally the only Timelord who never had any rules to dictate his existence,
