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!

    The US used to require new citizens to renounce other nationalities, and I haven’t heard of them changing this. Rupert Murdoch had to renounce his Australian citizenship when he became a US citizen in the 80s. I think Linus was naturalised in the 90s or 00s, so not too long after.

    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/Dual-Nationality-Travelers.html says that dual citizenship is allowed. From that page:

    How Do You Get Dual Nationality?
    ...
    Naturalizing as a U.S. citizen while keeping the nationality of another country.

    Wikipedia says:

    Since 1990, the State Department has allowed multiple nationalities.[130] Official policy is one of recognition that such a status exists, but the U.S. government does not endorse a policy of having multiple nationalities, though it is permitted.[151]
