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.

    I'm not a computer guy. I'm a bicycle guy.
    I build them up myself, buy cheap ones on ebay to fix and modify, know basically all there is to know about stem standards, drivetrain compatibility, etc.

    I currently have 6 non-functional bikes in my garage.

    The key is to call them all "pet projects" that are "still being worked on" and then not do anything with them for another month.

    I've seen "my other car is 10 motorcycles that don't run" stickers before and I felt personally attacked

    I just bought my fourth oneplus 6 phone. Two are non functional. Maybe this will be the one where I finally get linux running on my phone lol

    Hey, I am also trying to get OnePlus 6 for that purpose.
    Or N900 for shits and giggles.

    [–] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    you can get em new in the box on ebay. the used ones can be sketch.

    [–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    eBay is pretty useless where I am. At least with their filtering. If only they included shipping in price filter.
    Otherwise, the average item is along the lines of $5 + $50 shipping.

    [–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 2 days ago

    Yeah, they are either shipped accross the world or some scumbag that tries to make easy money (ebay don't tax you on the money for the shipping)

    [–] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

    yeah these ship from china so whatever that costs where you are.

    [–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

    Me but with cameras. I have 2, maybe 3 working ones. Lots and lots of bits of others.

    [–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
