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.
    • 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. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Language/ัะทั‹ะบ/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
  • 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.
    •  

    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've reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.

    I'm also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.

    ok but have you tried the long socks? they're comfortable. also you can get manly hockey player style ones

    [โ€“] NeilBru@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I've worn 'em in that context.

    As far as the fem-boy/"girly" ones, I'm just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.

    [โ€“] janus2@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    what about striped ankle socks ๐Ÿ˜‚

    [โ€“] NeilBru@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Well! My wife is Dutch and she bought me a pair of Dutch HappySocksโ„ข with stripes a few birthdays ago.

    I suppose I'm not that much of a pariah after all!

    those are awesome and they definitely count as programming socks 11/10
