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!

    You sound like some guy screaming everyone should own a horse after the car became popular.

    No, what I'm screaming about is that every car owner should visit an airport at least once in their life.

    That doesn't make sense, your advocating the opposite, you want people to work on 25 year old tech. For "reasons".

    On the contrary, I am in favor of banning computers altogether.

    I think that analogy oversimplifies according to the assumption that one is inherently better than the other. OP's point here is that it isn't all better at all.

    I think a more accurate analogy would be that the OP is screaming that horse trails, ranches, and farms are being shut down because they don't accommodate cars.
