- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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
sudoin 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. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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.

MODERATORS
I was recently trying trying to get help on a clipboard program someone had recommended me, clipq. What I found instead was a GitHub discussion where the dev said "I'm not sure what you mean by 'man' pages" in response to someone asking for them. I think I need to find an alternative
Did they at least provide woman pages then?
/s
I've only known about (and always use) xclip.
copyq β if anyone needs universal multiplatfom gui app
Be the change you want to see in the world and create a PR. π
tbf syntax for writing manpages is closer to latex than markdown
It is not that complicated and there are plenty of tools to generate man pages from other formats. Besides, this is about the dev not knowing what a man page even is.
Stuff like this is why I'm really glad I was a hard ass about learning "the right way," and refused to let myself use a full IDE and instead rely on a terminal setup. Crazy how many people (with tons of experience) can be missing basic knowledge about how *nix environments run
I can't imagine working with linux and not being comfortable with its most fundamental conceit: interactive ttys that you can do anything from. It's like being a Windows user and not knowing about the Start menu
Soy devs have invaded Linux.
What do you mean by this?
"You're not a real dev if don't know [insert thing here]"
I'm not seeing the soy connection
Itβs a derivative of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_boy
