- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

I always thought this was a bit of a weird flex, like bragging about knowing how to install Linux. Sure, not everybody knows how to do that, but it isn't exactly difficult, either, and it certainly doesn't make you a 1337 hacker.
It's one of those "stick it to the man"-things. People really love to brag about that and in this case it also saves quite a lot of money. People love to talk about how they saved money.
btw, I use arch.
