- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
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 remove France.

Fake as fk, no one think it's hacking, they think it's programming
They think hacking is when you rapidly type while stuff flashes across the screen
This is definitely it.
I was the HBIC of Dave & Buster's arcade for a few years. The big halo shooter game was bugging out with some auto updates from a USB drive. So I just called the people directly and asked them for a command line.
I used a small wireless keyboard the size of an old 360 controller keyboard. So it took me maybe a minute to type the whole thing after getting Internet access to the fucking thing(a project in itself). When I hit enter a crowd started forming with oohhhhs and awwws. I'm a hardware person, I can multimeter stuff and solder replacement components (which is apparently magic to the store manager cause we stopped buying whole replacement boards). But know absolutely dick all about programming other than an intro to SQL class in college that I'm sure I've forgotten most of by know. And there was more than one "to dawg he's hacking like the movies!"
I'm sure some thought I was programming but there was at least two dumb fucks that thought I was hacking. Like what am I going to hack from an arcade shooting gameβ½
