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 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.
  • 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.

    Or do the opposite for..relief

    Fucking mv doc doc1

    Fucking shutdown

    [–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    fucking touch my-doc

    [–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

    please touch my-doc πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

    I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

    Changing timestamps and creating empty files..

    Of course, that makes so much sense. πŸ€”

    [–] double_quack@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

    It does make sense! When you modify a file, you do "things" on it, you write it. So the minimum you can possibly do to a file to modify it, is "to poke it": to touch it.

    I might actually do this, it seems nice.

    [–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

    suddenly makes the xkcd much more wholesome too

    [–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    This from the OS that made me have to do a search for "how to kill children".

    [–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    wasn't that Windows?

    don't make me watch the task manager video again ...

    For people that don't get the joke: this messes up your system

    [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    If you're out of the loop: this is part of the joke tricking people into dedicating precious hard drive space to an unnecessary language pack.

    [–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

    side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is "fuck". When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it's correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it's usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn't even use AI, just a list of common errors. It's been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.

    [–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

    See, I couldn't bring myself to type that; I think I'd have to alias it to 'bother'.

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

    alias fuck=sudo !!

    [–] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    more typing. if i set up an alias for it, i'd rather set up su
