1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- 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 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!
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 fork-bomb your computer.

I'm pretty sad that they named it KDE Connect instead of just Konnect
They have so many missed opportunities for things like that, like why isn't spectacle called spektacle
My vote goes to Kpectacle
Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.
Man what does "snipping tool" even mean
I don't like this word either, selective screenshot or sth...
Screenshot. With features thats it imo
snip /snĭp/
intransitive verb
How the heck is that related to screenshot
It's usually combined with a rectangle/window selection, thus clipping a part of your screen into an image/clipboard.
I'm still mad that they renamed Kalendar to Merkuro
Also, Kalendar you can guess what it is... Merkuro? No idea
To be fair, its full name is actually Merkuro Calendar, but it's fucking stupid
Does Merkuro mean something in another language? Like Krita means Crayon in...Swedish? Norwegian? Scandahoovian? And for some reason they didn't call it Krayon?
I couldn't find anything
It would make more sense too since it can be used on almost everything, which I applaud (using it on macOS).
