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.

    Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

    It's a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

    And if you're working with code that requires that serious of resource optimization you'll invariably end up with low level code libraries that are hard to maintain.

    ... But fuck the Always on internet connection and DRM for sure.

    It’s a lot cheaper to have double the ram

    yeah a lot cheaper to force someone else to buy double the RAM. No thanks.

    Companies don't pay for your 2x RAM and it doesn't slow down their user acquisition so they don't care.
