Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

In some Linux circles, it would be considered a slur. (Arch btw)
I think Debian is generally well respected for its stability and boringness, no?
(Still in character here)
Yes, incredibly boring.
The only thing Arch transitions you into is a bigot, apparently.
I’ll have to ask you explain what you mean. There’s definitely a misunderstanding, if my comment reads bigoted
You use Arch, btw. You appeared to state if someone said Arch install materials were estrogen that would be a slur.
What did I miss? I must have missed something.
I love Debian and I have no problem with anyone transitioning to be whatever they like. Your statement seemed to differ.s
edit: lol you asked and I explained myself. Now explain yourself.
Alright, you somehow got a third, even further off interpretation that I hadn’t even begun to conceive of. Frankly, it knocked my understanding of my own joke out of my head, like seeing the second form of an eye trick illusion.
Anyway, arch users are often jokingly considered insufferable and holier than thou, particularly when they append their Linux pedigree to their everything, substituting their OS for a personality. Arch users often separate themselves, due to their OS being far more customizable, leading to an abundance of arch communities. Now, given that context, my joke boiled down to an arch user refusing to use that slang term because it would denigrate trans people for them to be associated with a “subpar” OS.
Does that still read bigoted?
No, just standard Arch
(I get your pun)
