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, 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
  • 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.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    Funny thing about linux, is it's unenforceable. Even if you get the big distros like ubuntu onboard, someone will make FUbuntu. Even if you get the age crap into the kernel, someone will make FUKernel without it.

    That's the beauty of FOSS. Even if someone doesn't make those things, I can. There are tons of guides on how to compile your own linux kernel and make your own linux distro.

    Plus, who's age are they going to use for the root user on 99% of the servers in the world?

    5mins after a solution is proposed, some 16yr old is going to vibe-code a stub that whenever queried will return the age of 67.

    They don't care about those, unless they happen to be owned and operated by an individual, because those generate valuable data and concretely tying it down to a specific person would be a gold mine. And by they I don't mean the politicians, but the marketing lizards and control freaks (cough cough Peter Thiel) who's bidding the politicians are doing.

    I think the best way to quickly make this check completely useless isn't to rip it out entirely, but to make the kernel generate a random age between 21-99 every time an application requests it.

    People using imgur is so tiresome, because we can't view it in the UK!
