Community rules

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!

    Meeh, I've had so many things in life taken away from me at some point that I just stopped caring to be honest ๐Ÿคท. I just keep an open mind now (or at least try to) and am more like "oh, no more of that huh... ok, let's see what was next on my to do list".

    My mom always told me "people can take away everything from you, money, status, freedom... one thing they can never take away - your mind".

    I can't find it now, but there is an Existential Comic that addresses this attitude perfectly. The philosopher is talking about how he always has some form of freedom, so he gets chained to a wall in a dungeon, and then he says "at least I still have the freedom to interpret my situation!"

    Ah, yes, I saw that commic somewhere, I think someone posted it on Lemmy, but there was a twist to it at the end... can't remember what it was, but it was funny ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    [โ€“] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    The person who chained him to the wall asks "And how do you interpret this situation?" He replies "it sucks."

    Yes, that was it ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.
