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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.

    Is mansplaining short for manualsplaining?

    [–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 29 points 11 months ago (2 children)
    [–] alk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Or mam. Obviously, short for mamual.

    [–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

    Hmm, no, very mamualian.

    Another reason to use Emacs: woman pages

    [–] judgyweevil@feddit.it 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Or, you know, make an alias

    [–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

    I think they wanted to rep Emacs though

    [–] 404@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Might as well do alias nvim=vim while you're at it

    [–] ftbd@feddit.org 1 points 11 months ago

    I actually do that on machines that don't have nvim, because that's easier than adjusting my muscle memory

    [–] MTK@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    It is man as in Manual.

    Because the person that wrote it was Manual Ligma

    How many natural language search tools for GNU manuals have been written and called "mansplain?"

    [–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

    I know you're joking but I have talked to people before arguing things like "human being" being anti feminist because it should be huwoman or some shit like that.

    I know, crazies, but there have been a lot of them

    Having said that, just the obligatory "I don't care if you're man woman trans or whatever, as long as you're happy and don't be a dick to other people"
