Welcome to Programmer Humor!

This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!

For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.

Rules

• Keep content in english
• No advertisements
• Posts must be related to programming or programmer topics

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

• Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

  • Post news articles only
  • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
  • Title must match the article headline
  • Not United States Internal News
  • Recent (Past 30 Days)
  • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.

• Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

• Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

• Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

• Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

• Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

• Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

• Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

1. 😇 Be Nice!

   • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.

2. 🏘️ Community Standards

   • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
   • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
   • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
   • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.

3. 🧬 Keep it Real

   • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.

4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

   • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
   • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!

5. 📋 Post Formatting

   • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
   • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
   • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
     ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
     ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/

6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

   • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.

7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

   • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
     Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]

8. 🍿 Moderation

   • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
   • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

1. Jago
2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

• Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Web of Links

• !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"
• !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don't say!)

Rules:

1. Be civil and nice.
2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Post memes here.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

• Wait at least 2 months before reposting
• No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
• Use NSFW marking accordingly

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

• Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
• Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
• Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

• Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
• No misinformation
• No NSFW content
• No hate speech, bigotry, etc
