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!

    And yet it's not the first time I've tried --help --verbose

    "Full documentation available at httрs://blahblah"

    And sometimes the URL is broken. The man page for powertop is like that. Says "for full documentation, go to this link", the link doesn't work any more, and I asked the developer about it and he can't even remember what was at the URL.

    that's the cousin of "we regularly update our app to fix bugs"

    "join our discord"

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

    That's usually the point at which I remove every software by those devs from my machines...

    using Discord as a wanna be wiki/forum or Matrix chatroom replacement speaks volumes imo

    luckily not many free/libre projects tread down that path. It's more of an open source thing (since they don't rly care about the 4 freedoms anyway)

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

    Those freedoms are: (0) the freedom to run the software as desired and for any purpose, (1) the freedom to study or change the software, (2) the freedom to redistribute copies of the software, and (3) the freedom to distribute modified copies of the software. The numbering of these four freedoms begins with zero because “Freedom 0” was added to the list after the other three, but it is considered more foundational than the others.

    Usually I hate this, I'm using man for a reason, but sometimes I'm scrolling through a novel-length man page thinking that maybe most of this information needs to be anywhere else.
