Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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.

    "Linux? looks like Chinese to me" (I guess it's not even Chinese)

    [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    It says

    "Linux
    Operating System (操作系統)
    Core (kernel?) Analysis" (內核分析)

    On the side, top down, (also I'm typing trad because I can't write simplified).
    "Computer textbook" (計算機教本).
    "Beginner" (入門).
    "Increase" (提高).
    "Master (verb)" (精通)

    “Beginner” (入門).

    is this "gate person"?

    Edit: My bad, I didn't notice the character correctly

    Chinese is full of beautiful compound words like this. "You're welcome" for example (bukeqi, 不客气) is "not guest air". Happy (gaoxing, 高兴) is "high mood", or cheerful (kaixin, 开心) is "open heart".

    [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

    No.

    Person is 人. This character is 入, it means "going inside". The difference is which stroke is on the top, the left or the right.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

    No, enter gate

    Google translate says, it's (simplified) Chinese.

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

    Good thing they fucking simplified it because I still can’t read it.

    🇺🇸 English (simplified)

    🇬🇧 English (traditional)

    roughly translates to Linux operating system's core analysis
