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.

  • 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.

    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.

    sed s/demon/daemon/g

    The install is complete.

    [–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

    Ok, but imaging playing one of the new Doom games with that set up:

    Action starts to get intense.

    The tension, and temperature rises.

    Suddenly, a whisper at the back of your mind "hail satan hail satan hail satan"

    As more enemies appear, and the temperature rises, it becomes louder, pulsing in your ears. Somehow a whisper that is now shouting.

    As you cleanse the demonic filth, the chanting subsides and stops, bringing a measure of peace, at least for the moment.

    Well… the satanists I’ve met definitely seemed like a Linux crowd, so it’s not the worst suggestion prior to sacrificing a goat or something of that nature.

    The demon is Bill Gates fueled with the tormented souls of Microsoft employees that just got layed off. The solution is to print out a few Arch wiki pages and a usb stick (with Arch) and say "the power of Torvalds compels you" until the PC is once again pure. Than keep your PC pure by avoiding absolutely proprietary software and always praying to Tux for more features.

    Linux doesn't have this? Man, I guess I'll stick with windows. That shit is metal AF.

    I think HellOS comes with demonic teeth drivers right out of the box.

    [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I think such circumstances require TempleOS.

    [–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

    Demons prefer FreeBSD

    [–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago

    systemd keeps daemons under control, the computer will be fine with Linux.

    [–] Jhex@lemmy.world 84 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    You can probably configure the demon in Linux

    demonctl stop hellfire
    demonctl disable hellfire

    Think it's ./tribute.sh iirc

    Edit: removed the space between ./ and tribute.sh

    Did you see the templeOS rice the other day on unixporn?

    Dude had fuckin nix on there

    [–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

    Have not seen it. Got links? I'd look it up, but I'm unsure whether we're talking Lemmy or Reddit

    [–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 132 points 2 days ago (3 children)

    When was the last time you saw a possessed Linux system? Don’t worry I’ll wait

    [–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 123 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    my Linux has dæmons all over it

    [–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 55 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    The good dæmons compete with pathogenic bad dæmons, and are essential for the computer's health.

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 21 hours ago

    Every linux comes with perl and bash, possession is a single script away

    [–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 33 points 2 days ago

    All my Linux systems are possessed by daemons

    [–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 70 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Honestly TempleOS might be the way to go on this one

    Stupid Linux Guy doesn't realize that by installing Linux, you install even more daemons on your machine!

    [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

    Just because they're daemons doesn't mean they're bad or malicious. Assuming they are is racist.

    If you install Linux properly you'll get the experience with spirits you'll need.

    [–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I just pictured someone throwing pages from the manual on it going "THE POWER OF LINUS COMPELS YOU!" Yeah. I'll see myself out.

    [–] bss03@infosec.pub 9 points 1 day ago

    In the package, there will be a large square of herb-scented paper. This is the entire code for VüDü. Fold this paper into an origami shape resembling the animal you're installing VüDü on (see also Appendix II). There are folding directions for common animals in the box. Make a hollow inside your paper badger and add a little more blood and hair from your animal.

    Don't lose the paper; replacements are expensive. There are recipes for homemade paper on the Web, but getting all the information correctly transcribed is a huge task, as this must be handwritten; furthermore, the requirements of herb collecting, drying, and curing are formidable.

    Some man pages are more suitable than others.

    Gotta keep those daemons at bay.

    [–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

    Don't worry. Systemd will absorb them all. One to find them, in darkness to bind them...

    [–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 2 days ago (9 children)

    This is like 99% of Lemmy users.

    "How do I fix this issue with my computer?"

    "Have you heard of our lord and savior FOSS?"

    [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (12 children)

    would actually solve 90% of problems.

    Your computer wants to be possessed by Daemons sir

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

    Daemons > demons

    Hence freebsd was born.

    it's true though, specificity TempleOS

    Sounds like something windows would do…
