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.

    CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

    Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

    Incredible work.

    The reason Windows gets attacked so much to begin with is because of its market share, not necessarily how vulnerable it is. If you want to cast as wide a net as possible while wasting as little effort as possible, why the fuck would you target the lesser used OSes? In the same vein, why would you invest so much in protecting OSes that aren’t as big of targets as Windows? Your comment sounds as ill informed as those people that think Macs can’t get viruses.

    It's well known that windows is chocked full of security issues and ALWAYS has been. Never once implied other OSes are perfect, just better. You sound ill informed yourself, and simping for a corporation

    Why do I get the feeling that you're a flat earther?

    My guess would be you have instincts opposite reality

    Given that I'm not even close to that, and it has zero relationship to talking about how shitty windows is.
