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!


    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    "We aren't a monopoly because we don't just control web search, we also control all this other tech..."

    I mean, it's trained on internet content, and there's probably a lot of articles that say "Google" and "monopoly" in close proximity.

    -a matter of legal and economic interpretation

    If there's a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they're a monopoly.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I agree on the merits, but the contrarian in me has to point out that any company is a monopoly through some convoluted interpretation. For example: Logitech has a monopoly on mice and keyboards that work with their proprietary software.

    Exactly, it's why I don't buy Logitech anymore!

    Biologics: Glub, glub. Yes.

    "If you're here about the health advisory that aired on channel six recently, say 'silly ol' advisory.'"

    Other search engines use Google for their results. There are very few independent web crawlers.
