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.

    im not even kidding. everyones password should be 20 chinese characters instead of 20 latin charactera. there are WAY more chinese ones so brute forcing your password would take actual ages

    [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

    your password can have emojis in it

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 18 hours ago

    Have you ever typed in Chinese characters on a keyboard? I guess not, because otherwise you would know what that comparison is rather obvious and flawed.

    Got it, so that's the first thing I'll do once I start learning Mandarin

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

    I have unironically thought that code might be easier to read/write/understand in chinese.

    https://github.com/lucifer1004/xiu rust but all the keywords are in Chinese

    There are capital characters in Chinese?

    [–] 667@lemmy.radio 1 points 18 hours ago

    I have no idea. I used a web translator.

    that means google translate got it right for once, lmao

    have you heard about the nintendo entertainment system? it's coming out in a few years, right now it's all just rumors, but the top billed game is supposed to be about some plumbers who try to save a princess from an evil lizard. sounds stupid as fuck

    Unbelievable... I'd much rather play a game where I try to earn merit badges for mimicking the terrain in war-torn countries.

    Personally I'm a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 17 hours ago

    Always a fan of running around in a darkened room with pulsing lights and electronic music, eating strange pills and then being chased by colorful ghosts.

    It saves screen space but uses on average the same memory. Variable names aren't preserved by most compilers in the binaries so it doesn't matter how long you name them.

    If it was the 80's, the text would be gibberish because you can't figure out what the correct code page for the file is.

    save more space and use emojis for function names

    [–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

    English bad, traditional state approved Chinese good.

    [–] Siethron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Aren't there hundreds of thousands of Chinese characters? When you take the translate into account how many bites are you really saving?

    [–] alias_qr_rainmaker@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    i dunno, i just found out they were encoded with UTF-16. but c# uses UTF-16 for strings, so i went with a c# repo. that's right, i cloned a github repo just for a shitpost

    The dedication of this man is irreplaceable! Color me impressed 🫨

    Is this Mahjong?
