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!

    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.

    Printers are something they've actually figured out on the last few years.

    I can go somewhere I've never been, get the login for the network, and print documents from my phone without any downloading drivers, sacrificing goats or anything.

    you don't know how many drains that sysadmin installed under her altar, do you?

    I hooked up a 2013 printer to my new wifi network, opened a pdf on my phone, clicked "print" and selected the printer from the dropdown list. No driver installation. No special app for the printer. It just works.

    ooh, did they sacrifice the goats in the factory? pretty snazzy; i haven't bought any new hardware in years, and this might just be the impetus I need to run out to microcenter.

    Deferred sacrifice. They still need to be sacrificed. He just doesn’t know when.
