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.

    Some of these are funny and make me laugh but I really hate that this seems to be the Linux identity.

    Shitting on Windows and it's users got old years ago. I see one of these every few days, or I see it in the comments attacking other users, it's just miserable and sad after a while.

    Like we get it, windows bad, lets move on.

    Eh, it's all heretics all the way down.

    Pick a preference. Go on. Any preference at all. Coffee? Great! All the coffee snobs agree that Starbucks is shit coffee. Then the pour-over gals and the espresso makers go home and wash their hands. Then the 40/60 pour-over gals meet with the 30/70 pour-over guys and agree that the espresso makers suck; then THEY go home and wash their hands. Then the 30/70 Japanese filter guys meet with the 30/70 German filter guys and agree that the 40/60 gals stink, and so on ad nauseum.

    No group hates outsiders more than they hate heretics within their own group.

    I just gotta say, I'm glad I don't know what all that coffee terminology is, I'm better off not knowing.

    Oh yeah. That's a new one for me, thanks!

    This clip is the best way of explaining this phenomenon (and, if you don't know him already welcome to the world of Emo Phillips)

    Shitting on Windows and it's users got old years ago

    It was already old back in the 90s when people were writing it as "Windoze" and writing Micro$oft with a dollar sign.

    Just a joke bro

    Coming from windows xp was the bomb and used 7 for 6 years

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (3 children)

    I know, nothing wrong with the joke per se, it's just the repetitiveness of the shitting on Windows thing. Lately I've been thinking of unsubbing to these communities because of it.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Windows gets in the news almost daily with new ways they made their product worse. Of course people are shitting on them, it's still as relevant as years ago.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Absolutely this. If everyone just used their preferred OS and got along doing computer things, that'd be great. But when biggie-techs like M$ are constantly deciding to make stonks-money-fueled, idiotic waves that forcibly affect practically everyone who uses a computer at all, (like a dedicated "AI button" on keyboards. Or announcing they'll suddenly just paperweight WMR (VR) devices whenever they feel like it, or the whole "Windows 11 makes a bunch of recent hardware incompatible" thing, or Bing shenanigans...), it draws plenty of justified ire.

    I grew up with Windows and loved it until later versions began getting more and more "user-hostile".

    Cool story bro

    As its your choice but the collective decision by Microsoft is not helping

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    For sure, but it's to be expected from a listed company. The only product is investor sentiment.

    Every day, all the time everywhere, to the point where Linux users become insufferable? Yeah...

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    True but if you allow everyone a chance to criticize it Caz its out of love for windows from what it was and now what's it becoming

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

    Yeah, a real fall from grace. I hate what it's become.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    Tbf you're in a pretty linux heavy space, that was so before the exodus and continues to grow. Perhaps unsurprising the free software people like the fediverse.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

    This one also shits on Mac, so it's a little different. That and the more bad speak about Windows, the better.
