badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Out of all the Free Software operating systems, Linux has the greatest hardware support (by a longshot). At times, it has even had better support for consumer hardware than Windows (e.g. when Microsoft changed the driver architecture with the introduction of Windows Vista, a lot of old drivers never got ported, or with the introduction of the TPM requirement, a lot of CPUs are no longer officially supported in W11 - though they can be made to work with third-party hacks). This is the primary reason why it is the most popular. It is the only alternative operating system that you can install on just about anything and have good chances of it working. There are other alternatives like FreeBSD/OpenBSD, but you need to start being a bit more discerning about which hardware you purchase when running these, and you may still forgo some modern niceties, like robust Bluetooth support.
