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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    For those who don't know the image source, it's from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

    It's the power glove that really gets me. It's so bad.

    I put an optical drive in my PC recently, and I've been giggling like an idiot typing "eject" and "eject -t" into the terminal. Terminal commands that do something physical in the world delight me.

    I don't use the termulator for opening apps that can bepened through GUI simply because the termulator has to stay open and that clutters the taskbar.

    More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.

    Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??

    When you're going up against Adolf Hitler and need to travel back in time, it's the right equipment for the job.

    [–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 2 points 7 minutes ago

    I thought a bazooka was the preferred weapon for that.

    cat file | grep

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago

    If you’re not using find with the -exec grep syntax, then I don’t know what to tell you.

    What, no black hoodie? I thought all hackers had to wear a hoodie to hack

    [–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago

    These kids and their hoodies. Everybody knows that hackers look like this.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 13 points 12 hours ago

    There must be a "the virgin Mr Robot hacker vs the chad Kung Fury hackerman" comparison out there somewhere

    Was the video made in Australia or New Zealand by any chance? There are two Microbees (Z80-based computers from New Zealand, virtually unheard of in the northern hemisphere) in the photo,

    FYI on a Mac you just type β€œopen” and give it the file name. Works with any file.

    Not sure how this works on Linux because I only use it via the cli

    [–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

    Man, if this guy has access to a Mac, Spotlight's gonna blow his mind.

    [–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

    Alfred beats the pants off Spotlight as a launcher. Because of the custom actions, in particular.

    But have u used tiling window manager?
