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!

    Well it can only be 30 years at most

    [–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Only 55 years since the epoch.

    Nothing before that matters.

    They say Dennis Ritchie created UNIX in 7 days...

    Others say Ken Thompson wrote Unix in three weeks. One week for the editor, one for the assembler and one for the file system.

    And then god said, "program in C"

    It's actually been 6 years or so. However, I love it so much that I built a time machine to continuously go back so I can use it more (makes no sense, I know, just roll with it) so for me it has been 84 years

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

    So you built a time machine to go back in time? I'm confused

    Makes perfect sense, how else would one be able to use a distro without systemd.
