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.

    Bailing out. You are on your own. Good luck!

    WARNING: /boot appears to be a separate partition but is not mounted. You probably just broke your system. Congratulations.

    [–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Is that a real error message in Linux?

    [–] HStone32@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

    This principle applies to the GNU C compiler also. Any other compiler is going to complain at you for not adhering to their stupid style guide, or for not using their proprietary "mEmOrY sAfE" libraries. But if GCC is giving you warnings, you darn well better fix something.

    Yes, do as I say! πŸ—Ώ

    uninstalls essential package

    Why is my system broken? :O

    the average brain on Windows...

    "wdym a different OS doesn't behave exactly like Winsows? That just means it's bad!"

    "It's Linux' fault that my proprietary software/configurator for overpriced hardware gimmicks isn't working and definitely not just the vendor not giving enough of a shit to provide support (or at least help with community drivers) on other platforms as well!!1!"

    Windows warning is like the check engine light in your car, ignore till it starts being a problem lmao

    [–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    For the record, if your check engine light is ever blinking, you need to immediately shut off your engine.

    Shit is going very very wrong in your engine at that point, to the extent that it might cause an energetic catastrophic failure.

    [–] LostXOR@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    Interesting, I've never heard of that. What does it blinking signify?

    [–] Monstera@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    In my case it meant the cilinders were scrapping against the block with zero lube

    [–] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    My wife hates it when that happens

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It can mean a misfire too.

    I had an old accord that basically lost a cylinder (blew a valve or something) but could still drive down the road with check engine blinking because that cylinder was β€œmisfiring.”

    It happened far away from home too. I drove several dozen miles with my unintentional 3 cylinder swap.

    [–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

    To be fair, it can also mean "one of my fucking radiator fans is not responding quickly enough to computer control"

    Which was not a fun experience when that happened to me, full fucking BEEP BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER with a check engine and a STOP sign blaring on the digital system display panel, made me panic out of my mind because a radiator fan was a removed

    [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

    Imminent catastrophic failure.

    Misfiring in my experience

    So you're telling me I should just turn up the volume instead of fixing my install ?

    [–] brotundspiele@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago

    My favorite error message of all times:

    You don't exist, go away!

    [–] FMEEE@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    If you have a problem just sudo it away.

    Throw in an '-rf' for good measure

    If that works, I'm switching to linux

    [–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

    One you actually care about while the other... blows wind.

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

    My broken pipe on update error doesn’t come up often enough to properly deal with and every possible cause I have found hasn’t applied

    [–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Heck, I have errors in windows log that are just "sure, let's move on".
