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!

    Remember: GNU/Linux and other UNIX systems can make files that are case-sensitive, Windows can't make files that are case-sensitive (lemmy.world)

    Yeah, right? Are we pretending that having case sensitive file names isn't a bad call, or...? There are literally no upsides to it. Is that the joke?

    I'm with you here, i find it infuriating and i never ever had the situation where this was beneficial.

    Like who tf actually creates a File.txt, file.txt AND FILE.TXT in one place and actually differentiates them with that.

    I mean, it's less of an issue on Linux for both design and user profile reasons, but imagine a world where somebody can send all the normie Windows users a file called Chromesetup.exe to sit alongside ChromeSetup.exe. Your grandma would never stop calling you to ask why her computer stopped working, ever.

    Who sends setup binaries? I would tell my grandma to install it from the repository.

    [–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Pfft, I would key her the hexdump of the binary via morse code
