  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 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

  • 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.

    I say this with love for the global Linux community, but we need to be able to laugh at ourselves from time to time. (lemmy.world)

    I dont know about "most".

    I guess it largely depends where one looks, to pick up that kind of perception.

    There are technical discussions out there.

    There's much I admire about rust (viewed from afar, yet to even try coding anything in it yet), some of it tugs me away from my beloved Haskell, and then some of it repels me again. And regardless of either, there are aspects that cause chagrin about it being put in things like the linux kernel and replacements for coreutils, and other essential things, not least of which is how much further that takes us away from curt bytecode. Cant really do the likes of tinycore so easily with rustification, afaiu. But I understand many aspects are very alluring to coders. And then a lot of it gets overhyped... with over-eager premature implementation, causing harms, including to perceptions of rust. Gently does it. Tortoise wins the race.
