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.

    Oh I totally agree. I find these sort of arguments around privacy and security more interesting than they are concerning, cuz yeah, ultimately if someone wants the data badly enough, they'll get it.

    In my personal life, I like to explore all the privacy related gadgets/software I can for two reasons. One is that its just kind of fun. And the other is because ultimately I don't want to make it all that easy for every bit of my personal life to be laid bare on the internet.

    Like I said, if somebody wants my data bad enough, they'll get it. But I suppose that puts the onus on me (and the developers of the software I trust), to make the data NOT all that easy to get.
