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.
    • 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.
    •  

    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.

    Running yay by itself automatically does that.

    [–] tophneal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

    I learned another thing today lol been using yay on several devices and I've always used flags exactly as I would with pacman. Just another reason I'm sold that yay rocks!

    [–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

    NixOS was like this for me in the first 1 or 2 weeks, after that it's been a breeze and very easy to keep my desktop and laptop configurations synced.

    This is where the Breaking Bad episode came from?!

    [–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

    From the prequel with his first wife. Really informs the character's backstory.

    Every time I boot to linux to test something

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I've got to have [insert tool] software. If I install that then I need [other tool]

    [–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    but to get [other tool] working with my system, I need an exact version of [library] which breaks about a dozen other tools and libs, and symlinking the [library].so file in the hopes it will work breaks [this one particularly important tool] and then I'm now spending the weekend trying to hunt down a way to compile a custom fix for that to make all the others work...

    Flatpak for the win

    "daily" maintenance for linux??? i think we call that "eier schaukeln" in germany.

    [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    I reference this video every time I go to fix something simple on the farm. Gotta fix the tools I use to fix the tools.

    There’s rot

    [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

    So damn true lol.

    Trying to create an insecure Netflix desktop entry that runs excluded from the VPN (because netflix sucks) in a profile that allows DRM.

    But the result, worth it.
