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!

    Yeah, I kinda pitty the US for that.

    But, to be honest, one of the reasons why you guys were so good at progressive ideas was just that, no baggage, no history, it's up to you to make your own... and you did manage to make great history to be honest, I mean, every modern music style decendes from jazz/blues. Not to mention the 60's and rock, metal afterwards, I mean... the list is pretty extensive. And so many great movies have been produced in the US, one of my favorites to be honest. Nowadays, you're not so much a force for progress, but last century was all yours regarding technology and art, no doubt there ๐Ÿ‘.

    Anyway, no, I live in a small country in the Balkans. You should probably visit the AMA I made today that was inspired by these questions ๐Ÿ˜‚.
