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.

    Actually, you can't even parse html (5) with specialized tools or by converting it and then using xml linters (they quit out due to too many errors). Only tools capable of reliably parsing html (mostly) are the big 3 browser engines. Experience from converting saved webpages to asciidoctor, it involves cleaning up manually, despite tidy and pandoc.

    This isn't true. HTML5 made a very strict set of rules and there are a large handful of compliant parsers. But yes, you absolutely can't use an XML parser. You can't even use an XML emitter, as you can emit valid XML that means something completely different in HTML.

    ...what a fucking disaster. I still wish XHTML won.

    Real question, why? I feel like there's a story there
