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!

    CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

    Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

    Incredible work.

    I wish my Windows work machine wouldn’t boot. Everything worked fine for us. :-(

    Could be worse. I was the only member of my entire team who didn't get stuck in a boot loop, meaning I had to do their work as well as my own... Can't even blame being on Linux as my work computer is Windows 11, I got 'lucky'; I just got a couple of BSODs and the system restarted just fine.

    You're a much more honest person than I am. I'd have just claimed mine was BSODing too.

    Since it's [email protected], it would be illegal to be dishonest.

    I'll see myself out.

    Funny, mine did a couple BSODs then restarted just fine, at first. Then a fist shaped hole appeared in the monitor and it wouldn't turn on again.

    Weird bug.

    Lol why is it always the monitor to get beat. It only has one job, just to show you what the computer is outputting lol

    Was the keyboard for my friend.

    Back in the day it was a very think pane of glass that I couldn't really harm. Now, I do not punch the monitor.

    why is it always the monitor to get beat

    Because it's within arm's reach and the developers aren't.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    But the computer is within leg's reach.

    You don't kick the box because it hurts more. If people would only wear the proper steel toe computing shoes more crap computers would get their just desserts.

    You just have to use the side of your foot (like in soccer) instead of the front.
