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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
    •  

    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.

    The Irony of the Unix wars is that Unix lost.

    Linux didn’t have any of the untouchable legal issues that Unix had. Linux was built from the ground up without access to Unix source code, that was entirely why it was written.

    And now we have Linux, the most used kernel on the face of this earth. Used in almost every server. All android devices. Chrome books. The Steam deck. It’s included on every copy of Windows.

    Linux won the Unix wars. And it’s all the fault of the very creator of Unix. AT&T, in their greed, killed the creation they sought to profit from.

    Double Ironic.

    I know it's just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.

    [–] SingularEye@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

    agree wholeheartedly

    Fun story. When the titanic came out, the girl I was crushing on asked me if I wanted to go see it with her and her other friends.

    Yeah. So we’re in line to get in and I made a sarcastic comment, something about, “but we know how it ends… the ship sinks.”

    Apparently. She didn’t know that. Oops.
    In any case the gaggle of old women in the row behind us were more entertaining. It may have been like their fifth time watching it. Specifically so they could see DiCaprio’s naked ass. The rest of the time they spent heckling it MST3K- style.

    Even if it's a re-run, it's a dick move to give away the ending to any movie while in line to see it.

    Watching a movie about WWII "I wonder who won??"

    I wonder what hobbies this Julius Caesar guy gets into when he retires?

    [–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

    He gets really good at playing dead, even has fake knife wounds

    [–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

    It's a very well known historical story though.

    You Linux people never fail to make me laugh. Bless Lemmy.

    I don't know why, but the thought of some 38 year old American farmer who doesn't know computers going "you linux people" is very sweet sounding to me.

    Holy shit, I watched that video a week ago. So sad :'(
