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.

    I love this part:

    the next time I see you copying VFS functions (or any other core functions) without udnerstanding what the f*ck they do, and why they do it, I'm going to put you in my spam-filter for a week.

    Like after all that he will just block him for a week 🤣 I would block them for a year minimum or forever...

    I was just about to quote that same bit. We gotta report a murder.

    His response to Linus was interesting to read.

    Oh and especially this comment further down in the conversation...

    As it is, I feel like I have to waste my time checking all your patches, and I'm saying "it's not worth it".

    I'm basically done with this. I never said I was a VFS guy and I learned a lot doing this. I had really nobody to look at my code even though most of it went to the fsdevel list. Nobody said I was doing it wrong.

    Sorry to have wasted your time

    Sheesh. Seeing just how long he goes on tantruming is kinda surprising 😳 seems like the guy was just trying to contribute... ya don't have you shit in mouth, right? Jesus

    Thank you for validating my feelings here. I don’t know why we idolize this kind of behavior, but berating someone on a mailing list should not be acceptable, much less desirable.

    For sure! Like I think criticism should be welcomed from a constructive standpoint, but there were some outright personal attacks in there! After reading the wiki page for Linus a coupla days ago my perspective is starting to shift a bit towards him 😅 woof

    I live by the “there are no heroes” philosophy myself. You can like some of what a person does while admitting that they are still flawed like the rest of us.

    Way too much of the tech industry culture is rooted in idol worship.

    Oh that's fun.
