  • 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.

    So I was going to go find the Download link for the Linux version of Edge to post as a joke, right?

    So I googled (actually duckduckgo'd) "microsoft edge" and clicked one of the first couple of links that looked like it was probably the right place to go.

    And was presented with this modal:

    A modal from the above-linked page with the Edge logo saying "Microsoft Edge is already installed on your device."

    I'm visiting that page from Firefox in Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi 4.

    Admittedly I'm running a user agent switcher because otherwise I get the mobile version of a lot of sites, but it's still funny to me. I like being able to say "the fuck it is."

    Your Pi doesn't have Edge installed, but your eyes do.

    I need to know what user agent you are using before I can make a proper assessment. "Haha Microsoft thinks my Linux computer has edge installed", if you present it outward as a Windows pc, isn't really fair.
