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 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.

    Cx Oh wow bad service, I'll sue you, you'll all lose your jobs, I'll destroy your life, your marriage, place Legos in front of your bed every morning

    I understand sir. Clearly you're losing millions of dollars in revenue on the site that you barely pay us anything for as it's our smallest most discounted plan. I can see the site has only recorded a few hundred hits per month mostly bot crawlers. It is clear to me this is a matter of life and death requiring my full attention and bandwidth of thought. Indeed a fool. I would be if I did not escalate you directly to my boss's boss's boss to get you the best service possible for your DNS issue.

    Heh... I had a fun one yesterday (yes yesterday).

    During the week they had a feature request to disable the "duplicate" warning on certain pages for entries that are invalid. We already do it on some pages simply for testing reasons (000000000 is always invalid but still accepted as dummy/test data)...

    Yesterday: "We missed this duplicate because we instructed the user to put in the specifically invalid entry. We're out a few hundred dollars now. Can we bill you for that?"

    All I could do was copy and paste from the old email that it was literally their own request. Basically a nice "Pound sand".

    But to have the gall to request a feature change... Then to turn around and threaten to bill us for your dumb decision? Get the fuck outta here.

    That kind of bug report usually comes from a windows user.

    [–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 26 points 4 months ago

    I'm stealing this to send to people who make bug reports with no logs.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Or better yet, they are using a ancient version on a EOL distro

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 months ago

    Even worse, they use a distro that senselessly repackages your stuff but does it wrong so you get flooded with bug reports.

    Looking at you, Fedora.
