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!

    you can also use basically anything that's not / in a file name as well, it's pretty based. Meanwhile on windows you have to use SMB mappings if you don't want your directory structure to self immolate, what a good operating system.

    I think you might even be able to get away with /s if you escape them properly in the filename.

    i'm not sure if you're allowed to escape the / character, i feel like it's blatantly illegal. But you could use the funny character set trolling thing instead, where you use a not forward slash instead. (not the \)

    I'm fairly confident MacOS allows it, I've seen people do some Utterly Cursed shit in MacOS, but idk about Linux

    [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

    maybe on macos, that might be funny, it's probably fucky over there for some other reason anyway.

    Im pretty sure it's just explicitly illegal in linux though.
