  • 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.

    I do with English would switch to phonetic spelling, including the eventi of the speaker, but we're never going to switch. At least the standardized spelling does have a very minor advantage in terms of disambiguation with homophones. But then we had to go and mess up read/read and lead/lead.

    Read/ret lead/let -> easy 😜 but how to write "do" I mean it is not a normal spoken "o" and not exactly a "u" like it is a "u" but without (yo)u Write phonetic is more easy in German, I think, or maybe only because it is my birth language 🤔

    I think you might speak English with a thick German accent based on your perceptions of how you’d spell our words

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Fair 😆and expectable, since I normally write phonetic in the german way

    Yeah I was really confused until I thought about how my Großonkel would say it lol. But yeah, in my accent both those words voice the d at the end

    So it woud be „red“ and „led“?

    [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
