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.

    What's crazy is all this can be disabled in Windows by a power user or enthusiast, but they don't want to, so they want to move to linex, an operating system designed for power users

    What's crazy is that everything a power user does to disable these things gets UNDONE with the next windows update.

    A real power user wouldn't waste their time with that added maintenance of re-disabling things.

    I haven't had a problem with everything staying off, except one drive turning back on which was annoying but took 5 secs to turn it off again.

    Proving the point, it's a never ending battle with windblowz

    [–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago

    I haven't had this problem except for when I did.

    Have a great day

    But wouldnt you always need to check, that those settings keep the way you want them? I heard that windows sometimes resets some of those settings.

    [–] krisevol@lemmus.org 2 points 4 hours ago

    Yes I've had one drive turn itself back on before. Annoying.

    Yes. I hate it. If anyone has a good CAD/CAM package for Linux I'll jump ship in a heartbeat.

    Should probably also add that the amount of time I've spent rifling through the event viewer, task scheduler, and registry editor has skyrocketed in the past few years.

    I don't know whether it counts as good, but FreeCAD and OpenSCAD are going concerns
