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!

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

    Screenshot. With features thats it imo

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    snip /snĭp/

    intransitive verb

    1. To cut, clip, or separate (something) with short, quick strokes.

    How the heck is that related to screenshot

    [–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 7 months ago

    It's usually combined with a rectangle/window selection, thus clipping a part of your screen into an image/clipboard.
