Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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!

Because I have reasonable views about security drawbacks? That when I see a vulnerability, I also look at the whole situation and decide if that's an acceptable risk, rather than screaming "Security issue!" at the top of my lungs and pretending that patching this one vulnerability somehow makes a difference when there's always another found the next week??

Security isn't free, it costs us by making it harder to get work done. "Security researchers" only know how to cover their ass. I can do that without their shrieking cries of wolf.

"Might as well not bother patching this actively-exploited security vulnerability, there'll just be another one in the future, " LMAO

On a laptop you bring everywhere I think it's ok if you seriously think somebody might try to steal your data. On a desktop computer with the drive screwed onto the motherboard who's going to steal it?
