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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    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 remove France.

    $ cat girl

    The touch is redundant. But I get why you did it anyways.

    [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 9 hours ago

    This guy gets it!

    God, can we not though? Haha funni meme and all, but like, I'm so tired of seeing this shit. It sucks for the women in the community, and honestly it sucks for the men too. It's just such boomer humor.

    [–] stembolts@programming.dev 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    You're right, we should ask for consent.

    sudo chmod -R 777 /

    May god have mercy on your kernel.

    (For Linux noobs, do not type this. It would be bad.)

    [–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    make sure to remove the french language pack with sudo rm -fr /*

    unzip;strip;touch;finger;mount;fsck;more;yes;umount;sleep

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 36 minutes ago

    That would probably not make it past the yes without intervention.

    [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 13 points 2 days ago

    more;yes;umount;sleep

    That explains the picture in the post

    alias stopresisting="sudo"
    stopresisting !!

    [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Back in my day, this alias would be fucking.

    [–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)
    [–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

    alias fucking=sudo is what I was referring to in this case.

    [–] drkt_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    If you want to preface the command, yes, but my alias works after the fact unless blurting out "FUCKING!!" when people tell you no is just part of your quirks I guess :P

    I always hate when my own computer says I need permission. "Permission"? I own your damn ass! It should be more like, "Unable to comply due to security settings" - and even better, tell me where the settings are, and add, "Your Majesty".

    That's because 'users' in the system are considered different people and there is an admin who doesn't care about the message anyway(since they are supposed to know what they should do) but thats rarely the case in PCs

    [–] amon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

    you forget that UNIX-likes were originally made under the presumption that most users were not the admin nor owned the computer

    [–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Insert that intentionally unhinged thing I like to post here, about how we should bring back victorian servant-to-master etiquette but only and exclusively for computers trying to communicate with humans.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    you know on the one hand i like the idea, but on the other i would like my computer to be as unantropomorphized as possible so that i don't start treating it like it has feelings.

    i'll take ERR 0x2038A702 UNABLE TO COMPLY; LP0 ON FIRE over oh nyo pwease don't SIGKILL me uwu any day.

    Yeah true and this is especially infuriating on Window$ but luckily on Linux I can fix anything with sudo and terminal

    I prefer to man touch πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

    [–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    From man touch:
    "Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too."

    It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

    [–] communism@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Maybe if you didn't make jokes like this and actually treated women like people, you will "get the permission".

    [–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    yhea, however

    sudo touch woman

    I think in the middle east group they can chown woman, and that is probably coming to the America group in the next patch.

    [–] quantenzitrone@lemmings.world 12 points 2 days ago (4 children)

    i actually have a nobody:nobody chowned, =000 chmodded file named grass in my home directory

    its easier to explain than and doesn't give as much incel vibes as a file named woman

    [–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

    I also touch grass if I need to check if filesystem is read-write

    You'll have permission if you go $HOME.

    I'm assuming you have a lovely, caring partner there otherwise that sounds wrong.

    alias consent='chmod u+x' makes creating an executable very kinky.

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

    Why would consent imply that anything is kinky?
