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.

    Yep. In this email it is done using them though.

    So then what makes the swearing special? It's the intent that makes them hit, not the words themselves.

    [–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Nothing. He just used it here with angry intent and he should've removed it. And not change for non-sweary anger, if that isn't clear

    Nah, I say he could've kept the swearing if he changed the intent. Maybe it's my Australian slipping out, but they're just words. They can't hurt you. The intention sure as hell can, and I've seen way more vicious things written without swearing.

    And agreed, it's just an arsehole-ish rant in general, regardless of whether he swore or not.
