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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    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 remove France.

    Pfft, Linux users don't date. We're all virginal, paranoid shut-ins.

    The trick is securing a marriage before using Linux, if try the other way around it doesn't work.

    Shortly after getting my steam deck and seriously learning Linux past tiny personal servers, I got divorced

    I know correlation β‰  causation, but I really want to believe your relationship was ruined because your wife was sneaking out in the middle of the night to use Windows

    [–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

    I don't know. I'm pretty sure one of the many ways you can end a marriage is installing Gentoo and saying "I'm just gonna go and compile my kernel." to your significant other, then go to your computer and just never be heard from again.

    Can confirm this works. Windows user thru single life. Married, switched to Linux on my laptop. Now separated and life in ruins but a smile always sneaks in booting up Kubuntu.

    That's what Anthrocon is for. Once a year is enough.

    [–] pixelscript@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

    And if that isn't enough, I know a few good dakimakura shops.

    I don't date because women are proprietary.
    You can share them with the community, but you can't modify and use them in any way you like.

    [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    Yeah, ikr? My wife won't even bang me, and I'm fairly sure it's part of a global conspiracy to make my balls explode

    [–] superkret@feddit.org 13 points 3 months ago

    sudo touch wife

    southsamurai isn't in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

    [–] bumbali@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

    i have the same situation. i figured i could have sex with someone else then, but other women seem to also know i use linux because nobody else will bang me either. and i doubt it's my looks, mom says i'm handsome, so it has to be the linux stuff.

    [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I dated and married.

    I love the story of how I met my now-wife. It was on IRC. When I was trying to start to meet women, I never would have guessed that that would be how I met my future wife.

    [–] pmarcilus@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    A keeper, and u should be a good husband to her.

    Btw, let me fetch some grasses outside first

    [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

    I'm not sure I'm succeeding, but I'm trying hard to be good to her. She's the best person I know.

    Last time I touched grass, I hyperextended my already injured ankle. I'm super tentative about that kind of thing now.

    The types for significant others and distros hash to the same location in the table, it's just bad luck and there's nothing we can do about it.

    A lot of us are also disaster trans lesbians :3

    Deep_in_ the basement, amirite?

    [–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Hey. I go outside every now and then...

    [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

    We should hang out.

    But, like ... Inside.

    [–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

    And this meme here is showing one of the reasons why
