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.

    Until it doesn't and you have no idea why.

    Do we [people in general] have some reason to conclude that it'll stop or keep working?

    And, if it stops working, do we have some reason to conclude that we won't know why?

    Every piece of code will stop working at some point if you keep working on the software (and the software itself will probably stop being compatible with other softwares if you stop working on it).

    And, if it stops working, do we have some reason to conclude that we won’t know why?

    If you don't know why it works in the first place, it's a pretty good assumption that you won't know why it doesn't work, either.

    I thought that you were talking about Torvalds' attitude, given the context.

    But until that, it works just fine
