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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    In this case, there are many stakeholders involved. Volunteers, developers on corporate payroll, etc. That alone adds complexity to any solution. Doesn't men no solution can be found, but adds to the inertia since it requires more effort

    I agree. But thats also why I think its best to push as far as one can and hope for others to join or take over once the original person/people are out of steam. This works with founding companies, groups and other movements. This ultimately leads me back to my initial: please make a post, I‘ll join you. Does it make more sense now?

    You mean make a post on Lemmy? For me the root problem is still here: I have no contacts in the (admittedly extremely wide) industry and could not build a platform for people to register their projects to. I can only draw the outline of how this thing would work

    Edit: I'll try to write something down and make a post somewhere. Any community suggestions?

    Please post it in /c/freesoftware@lemmy.zip.

    Which is no problem. Causes dont need the most connected, born leader types. They need to start somewhere is all. If its meant to be, it will grow. Everything else is perfectionism imo.

    Depending on the spin, its either interesting for the fediverse, opensource or something else. You can hit me up in dms with a draft if you want.
