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.

    As funny as this is, it's worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

    https://ftp.mfek.org/Reiser/Letters/ Number 2 ... / reiser_response.html

    I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.

    I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.

    There's too much to quote here, and it's too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.

    Murdering your wife is one of those things that, no matter what else you achieve in your life, people will say “there goes Hans the wife murderer”. Even if you only ever murdered one wife and have shown no signs of making a habit of it.

    I will never get a kick out of the abrupt turn to his wikipedia entry

    You see that bridge over there? I built that with my own two hands. But do they call me Hans the bridge builder? No...

    You see the town hall building on the hill? I laid every one of those bricks. But do they call me Hans the bricklayer? No....

    But you shag one sheep...

    Your link 404s for me

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    So you're saying the link is... dead?

    [–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Weird. I updated it with the dir the letters are in.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

    It works now.
