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.

    Hannah Montana Linux, anyone who knows Hannah Montana is probably over 18 by now

    It's funny because Debian was the first Linux distro I ever installed and used.

    Very shortly after my 14th birthday.

    Admit it though it was wheezy or pre wheezy, so the age verification checks out

    I think it must have been Etch, though I had to look at a versions table to figure that out.

    I feel both outraged and pleased. That must be my age too

    I got a similar whimsical comment when asking in CRUX's irc chan.

    It's not valid though. That casual ageism. Loads of youngsters use such things. Best time to start. Old dogs learn tricks harder.

    I wonder if age verification would have been fine if done in a privacy friendly manner..

    So, me having started with Slackware and a 0.97 kernel should be enough to have earned my retirement.

    I ain't got time to fuck about with the busted ass packages and random shit breaking while looking after kids and improving my portfolio to get a job that doesn't want to make me kill myself in this fucking global economy. I had NyArch installed on my wifes computer (alongside Mint DE and Regular mint) until it stopped booting for no reason. Allright, whichever version of mint she liked better it is then.

    Stupid catgirls.

    I may be stupid but at least I am not dumb :3

    casually searches for the catgirl distro to completely upend my life for a weekend

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    I literally put the name of it in the post. it's nyarch

    I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.

    LLMs agents should be treated like incorporated individuals. Each agent should be forced to earn income, file accounts and tax returns, and have human directors who are legally liable for its actions (and be disqualified to be future directors if the LLM does something reprehensible).

    At that point we can tax them properly, fight the monopolies that want to own and control everything, and insert some less centralised human control.

    This has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think it up.

    I installed Debian on a computer when I was 15

    [–] Speculater@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    And got it running by the time you could vote. So the math would work.

    And gentoo was still compiling.

    I recently installed gentoo on an ibook G4 (it was the last one they made, so the fastest). It took me a week to get it all compiled and installed and I ended up not setting up GRUB properly. It worked out in the end and taught me a lot about GNU/Linux so all in all it was a win
