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.

    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.

    To me that just reads as "development has ended."

    Which it kinda has for Factorio, because their current development branch is unreleased, the whole 2.0 expansion pack thing.

    I figured there was an explanation like that. I also thought maybe they just had parallel version names for stable and experimental. Still reads funny to me.

    I recommend you read the FFFs if you want to see the devel branch. I'm a little behind but it's amazing and exciting.

    Factorio FFFs and Zomboid ThurZdoids are that things that are very satisfying to read during the very very long breaks between the updates.

    I'm pretty sure hotfixes are still being released. It's more so that there are two release streams, stable and unstable, and when there isn't a new unstable release, the unstable stream is just on the same version as the stable stream.
