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.

    I'm a bit intrigued by the downvote ratio; is it pro-systemd people seing the meme as too anti -systemd, or anti-systemd people seing it as the opposite? Or is it more about the graphic choices ?

    As someone who was just about to downvote (and then lost interest) it's just that I'm. So. Fucking. Sick of SystemD discourse. Yall have been at this for 15+ years now. Let it fucking go. Fuck.

    I mean, if we GNU/Linux users weren't to make ideological debates about software, what would we have to meme about?

    [–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Oh a myriad of things. For example: Where to buy the best programming socks (seriously tho, WHERE??)

    I haven't personally tried them, but I've heard good things about Sock Dreams: https://sockdreams.com/

    I think users of other operating systems might not have such passionate discussions. This is probably a side effect of having freedom.

    I was just about to say, yes it can get tiresome to hear the same debates over and over, but it's kind of what makes FOSS great. We can debate about it and actually have our stances make a difference in the end result of how our systems function.

    I think it's more that people who prefer systemd don't feel as strongly about it because there's so little to get worked up about

    [–] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social 3 points 8 months ago

    Maybe it's critters upset we're not that cute and aren't getting ~~eyeball~~ kisses >.<; envious downvote!

    (I didn't actually downvote but am willing to threaten to uninstall systemd if it will procure affection for me :3 :P )

    I think the insinuation that Arch users would fall for systemd, no matter how lovely it will look.

    [–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

    I mean, Arch kinda did embrace systemd tho...
