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. 🇬🇧 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.

    "Linux? looks like Chinese to me" (I guess it's not even Chinese)

    [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    It says

    "Linux
    Operating System (操作系統)
    Core (kernel?) Analysis" (內核分析)

    On the side, top down, (also I'm typing trad because I can't write simplified).
    "Computer textbook" (計算機教本).
    "Beginner" (入門).
    "Increase" (提高).
    "Master (verb)" (精通)

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    “Beginner” (入門).

    is this "gate person"?

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

    No, enter gate

    Edit: My bad, I didn't notice the character correctly

    Chinese is full of beautiful compound words like this. "You're welcome" for example (bukeqi, 不客气) is "not guest air". Happy (gaoxing, 高兴) is "high mood", or cheerful (kaixin, 开心) is "open heart".

    [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

    No.

    Person is 人. This character is 入, it means "going inside". The difference is which stroke is on the top, the left or the right.

    [–] Gacrux@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

    roughly translates to Linux operating system's core analysis

    [–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Google translate says, it's (simplified) Chinese.

    [–] Hupf@feddit.de 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    🇺🇸 English (simplified)

    🇬🇧 English (traditional)

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

    Good thing they fucking simplified it because I still can’t read it.
