Community rules (click to expand)
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.

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.

At least I get to find out why the spyware doesn't work... and fix it πͺ.
On the other hand, I have a hard time explaining to my family why shit in my computer constantly doesn't work... or I'm in the process of fixing it π.
If there are any car guys in the family, simply tell them it's sorta like that. Tinkering is a totally valid hobby, but older people have an easier time understanding it with cars (because cars have been around longer, mostly :P)
Oh, they've kinda gotten used to it by now π. At least that's what I think... they do avoid my computer though, so that's a plus, I guess π.
I have no idea what I'm doing at any point in the process, and that's why its fun.
Or you start fixing something, and you find 3 other problems, not related to the one you started fixing π. You just didn't know about them cuz you usually don't use libfoo for the thing you currently need π.
It's like going to the doctor for a checkup and finding out you have diabetes π... I mean... it's not good, but better now than later, right π€· π.
