- 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
sudoin 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.

We 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.

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.

I'm sure Emacs can reproduce.
Yeah there’s an elisp file for that somewhere
Wait, I just realized that that exists. It's called a quine. I trust that the Founding Fathers of Emacs were genius enough to make it a quine.
That's why they're the Founding Fathers
The Founding Daddies, if you will.
Credited with writing the manuscripts of the GNU GPL, in its original, unamended form
It doesn’t take special talents to reproduce—even plants can do it. On the other hand, contributing to a program like Emacs takes real skill. That is really something to be proud of.
It helps more people, too.
LMAO
Where's the lie
It's just a really weird thing to say
Was that one of the ones from the Megan era?
Akshully it's GNU/Emacs.
No, it's GNU Emacs.
In order to contribute a fix, you have to reproduce a bug.
I assumed this meant reproducing the same functionality in a new editor instead of contributing to Emacs, the reality is so much better
Sorry you had to go through having a baby...
corwin does both...
