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.

    I thought the Xbox didn't have a full jailbreak this gen yet, but maybe I'm wrong.

    In any case, yeah, absolutely once consoles get jailbroken they become a vector of botting and cheating. Which is one reason why I have very mixed feelings about it. I welcome news of jailbreaking consoles because we do need it for preservation and emulation, which are important long term, but it is a bit of an issue for multiplayer, so sometimes it's fine if it starts happening a few years in rather than right away. It matters less since crossplay is a thing and you get all the PC stuff anyway, but still.

    On the grand scheme, though, cheating is a numbers game. It's one thing to every now and then encounter some scammer or overly dedicated nerd and another to have an army of twelve year olds cheating trivially on every session you play.

    Of course when it comes to Linux support the question is whether you can get Linux/SteamOS to the former state, or whether the volume of players is not enough to trigger the latter. I don't know, frankly. Each game probably has a different balance and figures out that math for themselves based on it.
