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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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.

    Can military organisation just take addresses?

    [–] waldfee@feddit.org 26 points 2 months ago

    Even some companies have huge address ranges: https://www.xkcd.com/195/

    if it causes even one eight year old to take an interest, it's worth it.

    Nobody who finds 6 7 funny is going to be using anything other than a tablet that runs YouTube

    [–] Rinn@awful.systems 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Nah, humans are great at pattern-matching, even just being aware that some find 67 funny is enough for you to start spotting it. I started finding some amusement in it just due to exposure from younger coworkers.

    [–] texture@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

    ive got bad news for you about your 40s ....

    [–] Clanket@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

    Late 40s, novice linux user, and I find it funny. I only know it coz of my kids, and the funny part is when they say it. You start spotting it everywhere yourself too, and in my head I shake my hands and shout 6 7....lol.

    it’s like how the linux kernel isn’t semver: the number after the decimal point has a maximum of .19 and then the first number increments

    except that one time

    kernel version 4.20 is the only .20 kernel version

    [–] JoShmoe@ani.social 27 points 2 months ago

    6.9 obviously

    [–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

    I'll make a jump straight to 6.9

    [–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    6.6.6

    They should skip to 6.9 for good measure

    [–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

    Pull a Samsung and just skip to 20

    [–] bubblybubbles@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I wanted to run kernel 6.6.6 but they didn't make that version. I think they switched to 6.7 before it happened.

    [–] nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    Your distro most likely just skipped that version. I distinctly remember getting excited about installing that specific version (on Arch). That said, I think that version was very shortlived due to a printer-bug or something like that.

    Where are the distro makers? We need a distro with Plasma 6.7, kernel 6.9, maybe an optional lite version with xfce 4.20 and some meme wallpapers

    Guys... we're gonna need a major release this sprint. 7.0 is coming Monday.

    Every generation has its words and phrases they use. Mostly to just annoy their parents-- Who had their own words and phrases.

    So if you're Hep to the Scene and a Real Gone Cat, Be cool and chill, light up a J because it's 420 somewhere. And enjoy 67. And the not to distant future, we are all going to laugh at Gen Alpha about it. And they are going to be confused about the Gen Beta's annoying slang.

    Personally I hope Plasma goes with 6.7 AND 6.9. The memes will just write themselves. And it will be glorious!
