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!

    I do, but regarding pronunciations it's S-A-T-A not Saytuh and I'll die on that hill.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

    yes, you will. although i tend to use the german pronunciation, "Sahtah".

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

    That'd be "Zahtah"

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    Ah yes I also call it “Sahtah”. Australian

    I must have heard "saata" somewhere because that's my head-pronunciation, and it doesn't match how I say data (dayta). Not sure I've ever said it out loud.

    Could be an "avoiding saying anything like 'Satan'" kind of thing, not because of religion, but more to avoid lame jokes.

    well "saata" is closer to the pronounciation of satan in finnish, "saatana". Was it Linus you've heard?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    Ha. No, I don't think it was Linus, but it might have been someone else European. Really hard to be sure at this point. SATA has been around for a while.

    And I've unearthed a memory of the other, other pronunciation that I know I've heard: "serial ay-tee-ay". Why make it an acronym when you can say one of the words and then the initials of the others!

    Ooh, can we start the SCSI thing again?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    Scuzzy! :D

    I pronounce it in swedish so that its just Satan without the -n.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

    Those are both wrong. It’s Sat-uh.
