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!

    It’s easy.

    Escape to exit edit mode : to prefix a command
    q to quit
    ! to confirm

    Now emacs… those people are crazy.

    I've always preferred vi commands, they make sense and are mostly abbreviations or regex, all the other editors have the strangest commands...

    To write and quit in vi :wq

    To write and quit in nano: ctrl-o, confirmation dialog about tmp files, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog about exiting... weird feeling that I didn't actually save the file... reopen, okay it saved, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog, weird feeling that I accidently edited the file...

    I used emacs when I first started programming because it was what my dad showed me and I always thought it was easier than vim. Then I used a bunch of other things for a while and mostly use vim now and whenever I try to use emacs I am so confused because it makes so much less sense than vim after actually using both

    For me vi was my first experience with it.

    So yeah, I think it’s often about what you’re used to

    Why did you repost my meme?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

    Uh oh, someone doesnt know the definition of a "meme"

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

    80% of social media is just reposted memes. TF are you talking about...

    Just be happy people are enjoying what you've created. It's not like you were being paid for it anyway.
