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.

    • 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.

    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 was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.

    Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.

    Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.

    Most people don’t install windows. It comes pre installed on something they bought. Microsoft probably puts more time into automating the process.

    Also, last time I installed windows it was a breeze. I haven’t installed Linux in at least a decade, so I can’t speak for that.

    Try installing debian some time, the installer makes windows' installer feel like its for a piece of software you got of a sketchy site that wants to install 16 other things not even related to it

    [–] hackris@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I mean, sounds exactly like the Windows installer to me

    [–] kaboom36@ani.social 2 points 2 years ago

    We must be using different installers then, because between the amount of telemetry you have to turn off, the dark patterns, and the insistence on using a Microsoft account the whole experience reminds me of installing one of those "driver updaters" when I was a kid and before I learned that was a very bad idea

    Now that you've got the idea apply it to everything in capitalist society. Especially if something is owned by shareholders.

    This realization somehow amazes and depresses me at the same time

    A reminder from Microsoft... While he's using a Mac?

    Anyone know how I can program Anarchism?

    [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

    work on decentralized technology like lemmy

    [–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

    The same way, generally. Work on decentralized, open source software. It's modern Mutual Aid.

    Allow all code merges automatically

    [–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Anarchy is not absence of rules, it's absence of hierarchy. So you could still collectively agree to certain rules for merges.

    Basicaly democracy on steroids

    No. Foss Software is peak Capitalism.

    Socialism means a central bureau decides what is needed and worked on

    Meanwhile Capitalism is a System of decentralization

    Foss Software isn't being centrally ordered because someone higher up decides it is needed. First the need arises and then the "Market" (The Developers out there) create a Solution to fullfill this need.

    This Market, this pool of Developers is decentralized in smaller Groups. And that's good that way. I don't want someone to decide which Software gets developed. Not some CEO and definitely not some Bureaucrat.

    I mean, the F in FOSS allows decentralized usage and a lot of People in the FOSS-Community prefer decentralized Solutions

    Oh great, the Communists have found this community. Time to make a new one.
