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!

    Why the insult at vegans? Is it 2015 again?

    [–] embed_me@programming.dev 9 points 7 months ago

    Plus if anything Debian is more stringent regarding proprietary packages than Arch. Arch package manager will let you install open source drivers or proprietary drivers equally. If adhering to "extreme" moral values is the joke about being labelled vegan, then debian is the vegan one.

    What has changed significantly since 2015?

    [–] Atyno@dmv.social 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

    It's a little silly to look at a whole nearly 10 years and not recognize culture has changed significantly, but here's an example considering the other reply failed to produce one:

    Merely 1 year before, the internet was roiled by absolute massive drama that was basically masterminded by proto-incels upset that women were in the video game industry. They were extremely successful in framing a jilted ex's story as somehow a question of ethics. It was not only impressive how seriously they were taken, but some aspects were just unquestioned as just "how the internet was" like making depictions of these public figures being beaten to a bloody pulp, when nowadays the kids have been having to make euphemisms for implying someone dying in any way to get around censors. It even spilled over into 2015, which is why I can even use it as an example for that year.

    In comparison, Gamergate 2 happened a few weeks ago. Its likely not many people here will even realize that even happened, and those that do recognize it was a whimpering yelp at best compared to the OG.

    Ah true, censorship really wasn't quite as bad in 2015 yet, point taken

    [–] stockRot@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

    That's your takeaway?

    [–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Many aspects of our society and culture including the fact that in the early teens random jokes at vegan’s expense were seen as normal rather than a fuck move

    oh look. it's here to tell us it's vegan.

    [–] MilitantVegan@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    No, here to tell you to go vegan. Your gluttony doesn't justify what's done to so many animals.

    [–] John_McMurray@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    And you wonder why jokes come at your expense.

    [–] MilitantVegan@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    You should be wondering why your cholesterol is so high.

    [–] John_McMurray@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    It's from all the animals I kill, skin. butcher and eat to spite you

    [–] MilitantVegan@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

    Does it make you feel strong and masculine to harm beings who are smaller and helpless against you?
