  • 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.

    We could call it … WebAssembly! And now it’s a C compilation target, which means we can run Node.js in the browser, to get a javascript runtime :)

    This would somehow be worse than JS

    They also all need to be using librebooted computers (Thinkpad and Optiplex)

    [–] Emerald@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

    s/librebooted/canoebooted/

    it's honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

    so they went from having:

    • osboot
    • libreboot

    to having:

    • canoeboot
    • libreboot

    All they seemed to have done is confuse.

    yea, no thanks - "the grind" mindset is just capitalism worming itself into your brain

    yup, but the meme makes fun of that mindset and the original meme template in my opinion

    Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 17 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    windows [...] programming.

    Every day this sub is in the active feed and I could not be more removed from the intended audience lol

    [–] summerof69@lemm.ee 20 points 5 months ago

    This will continue until you're part of the intended audience.

    spoilerOkay, it won't stop even then.

    I'll allow it. But I can't promise anything from the void crowd.

    Don't worry, once the others graduate school, break their arch install, and don't have the free time to reinstall it, they'll like Ubuntu too. 🙂

    What if we discuss Debian?

    But how can you talk about it if it has no type and no defined sizeof

    [–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

    This is real. This is why my friends are lame now. Not the kids or jobs.

    They're still on Windows

    Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

    [–] summerof69@lemm.ee 29 points 5 months ago (6 children)

    Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

    Ubuntu sucks. Not because it's for newbies, it's because better, new user friendlier options like mint exist.

    honestly open source software is important.

    I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don't think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.

    Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

    [–] Failx@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    Power BI is a different kind of beast though. Soon only available as part of Microsoft Fabric, a SaaS analysis platform. Sure, the technically inclined can use Python/R/Julia with MongoDB, a set of SQL DBs, some CI and Plotly/Dash, but that effectively requires to have some Software- and Data Engineers on staff and some dedicated machines/VMs. Power BI / Fabric is much cheaper for small to medium sized companies outside of IT.

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

    Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

    I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but I‘m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.

    Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I'm more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.

    20-30 is too old for Leo to be concerned with.
