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 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.
    •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I find it a fitting quote(or verse? idk what the terminology is).

    Taken from allegedly the last video shot by Terry before his demise.

    A screenshot from the aforementioned YouTube video in which Terry A. Davis is smiling at the camera, and a comment below reads:

    "So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away."
    - Hosea 13:11

    Highly highly recommended that all Linux enjoyer's look into his work. Its truly remarkable, he wrote EVERYTHING from scratch, he even made his own language variant based off of C called HolyC. He made the kenel from scratch, the drivers, the compiller, the man was a savant. Very very sadly, also suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and died relating to it. He had mini games in his TempleOS that he made with just text files and sprites. Truly one of the most talented devs of all time.

    He is the most obvious case for a good mental health system. That could have went far with enough support. The world lost a great coder

    Agreed fully
