- 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.

3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
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.

🤨for what exactly is a printer needed in 2024?
Hard copies. You should always keep hardcopies of your most important documents, financial records and certifications. Especially when users can be locked out of a cloud storage these days because an AI decided to flag their account.
😁i have my own cloud
Same. But I still keep critical paper work in a fireproof safe, just in case.
Cloud of wood fibres?
Last I checked it transmitted data via light 🤔
Jesus invented thumbdrives and HDDs SSDs etc for this very reason, the cloud is just my offsite back up of that... having been kicked off "the cloud" by MS some years ago, fcuk those guys.
I recently learned that SSDs do not reliably store data for long amounts of time when unpowered.
When I can't wrap my head around a technical document or journal article, I print it. My brain craves paper. I'm a software engineer, so believe me that I would be live inside the computer if I could.
😮 I definitely read better on my smartphone than on big paper, I always get lost if the medium is too large..
Maybe that’s just my age🤔
I've heard cybersec guys say they print off things like recovery codes and keep the physical copy stored. Also, entire governments still run on pen and paper (shitty inefficient governments).
" And every citizen that’s living in this city Is a digit on the charts we’re climbing Political systems are too inefficient They split like the atom and burned in the fission Now every department and every decision Defer to the herds of our corporate divisions " shitty inefficient governments are probably better than otherwise
I like this quote. Where is it from?
The Stupendium - The Data Stream
Fair, but a string I can still write by hand😂
Stickers
🤯
Fax.
Fax?
Agencies that are still living in the 90s...
😮
