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.

    The cool kids are forcing people to read this at gunpoint nowadays

    Right? It's in the kernel and everything now. Linus likes it. Linus hates everything. HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING HIM?

    Big Rust has gotten to Linus

    Did he actually say that he likes it? My impression was that it's not his comfort zone, but he recognizes that for the vast majority of young programmers, C is not their comfort zone. And so, if they don't hop on this Rust train, the Linux kernel is going to look like a COBOL project in a not too distant future. It does not happen very often that a programming language capable of implementing kernels gains wide-spread adoption.

    One (1) good programming language is what they paid him XD

    I'll never touch Rust.

    I hate the syntax and cargo too much for that. If that means that I'll never write mission critical, low level code, so be it.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    What don't you like about Cargo? Is there another package manager you like more?

    Linux is C only, ever read the rant by Linus last century about C++ ? I was there, in usenet

    [–] [email protected] 43 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    They're about allow bits of rust though

    Have they tried applying a bit of protective oil coating?

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Wait, you are telling people had discussion in Usenet? No way!

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

    it was mostly flame wars, alt.bin.pictures.erotica, warez, discussion about The Simpson, and of course The Oracle, and Kibo.

    EDIT for young people, the usenet oracle and kibology

    Put the gun away and throw that cpp book in the bin, fool. I brought The Linux Kernel Programming Guide, which is in C, and my own socks, which are wool. Now let's gets crackin.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    I already use linux. My feet have been getting cold lately. it never occurred to me to get wool socks. Is this how it starts? Are skirts next?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    Unless you use goat wool socks. Then you can go for a old school hippie build. Sandals, long hair, tie dye shirt and go from there.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

    Socks were invented to be used in sandals, it's the one true way!

    (Typed wearing big woolen socks in birkenstocks)

    Wat? Don't you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

    C is the only language, all the rest are mental disorders (/j 😉)

    Edit: maybe rust, but it's on thin ice XD

    the author of C++ said that C gives you many opportunities to shoot yourself in the leg. You have a much less chance for this to happen with C++, but when it does, you will blow your whole lower body off

    In C++? I'd rather be shot, thanks :P

    Girl, I will wear whatever socks you want, but... pulls out my own gun. We're reading this damn book instead.

    I better be getting pegged at the end of the night if she makes me suffer by writing C++.

    I appreciate the usage of the pi 1 and not one of the newer versions.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    Maybe I'm just old but old pi was special

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

    Pi 1 was an amazing idea, I ordered one as a sonon as they were available and then never used it for anything. I've bought way to many pis since then.

    Seriously though, anyone knows the source of the pic? I've been wondering for a while.

    All Linux enthusiasts are attractive women.

    Nothing says "I love you" quite like a surprise LFS install.

    Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to do the equivalent of x11 application network transparency but with wayland.

    Kind of like streaming a desktop with sunshine, but on an app by app basis.

    Also we're gonna make a client that work for it on android, windows and in a browser.

    Then I'm going to fuck you in the ass

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

    its more intimidating

    I'm down for Linux, but not C++ (I'm not into S&M)
