2. Be civil
- 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.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

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.

Windows pretends itβs friendly, but in reality itβs just there to sell you Copilot 365 subscriptions.
OneDrive secretly changing all of my save paths to OneDrive and not adding the cloud symbol to show that it's beed saving my files to Microsoft servers, even when OneDrive sync is turned off.
I wish I could drop Microsoft completely.
Before you know it, it'll start not letting you save anything because the cloud account you told it not to use is full
I feel like I've seen this exact complaint around the internet before...
You still have to configure OneDrive yourself for any of that to happen.
I once knew someone who became an insurance salesman.
When hanging around, after a while all conversations drifted towards stuff he could insure against.
This is what using windows feels like
It really doesn't. I mean I hate windows to the point of having it in my signature on my email, but let's not perfect this is true. If your going to say what's bad about it, tell the truth so people know. It's not trying to sell you anything, it just sucks as an operation system, has more holes in it then swiss cheese, and it's so convoluted that their own devs have to compete against each other.
there's literally adverts in the start menu now
Somehow you got downvoted even while there's the occasional full-screen startup spam:
"WANNA SUBSCRIBE TO OFFICE?
ENABLE DEEPER AD DATA TARGETING?! (you can't disable ads)"
Options:
{YES PLZ (here monee)}
/
{I'm so dumb I clearly don't know what I'm missing by refusing your products and services. Remind me very soon.}
too many secret windows fans that are butthurt in here
You mean that thing that is in about every commercial product, but unlike those other options can can be turned off in Windows with one single click on a checkbox?
Uh, the commercial products I use don't contain ads, dunno what the hell you're on about
