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!

    it's a swole doge vs cheems meme

    on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
    accompanied is a text that reads "Here's the information. What do you wish to do?"

    on crying cheems side, there's popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, "let's add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you."

    lol, I like your way with words. and I fully agree and share the sentiment(hence the meme).
    I disliked crash reporting on windows precisely because of inability to cancel it(by the time you hit cancel, it might've already been sent).

    nowadays, I don't use windows at all. sometimes I'm forced to use macos, and this popup comes up. I dislike this one too since I can't really see what it's going to send.

    on my home machine I have Debian with i3 and xfce, which hasn't crashed a single time. and even if it does in some distant future, I'll be more than happy to send technical info to them.

    You can disable error reporting on Windows, by the way. Disable the "Windows Error Reporting" service. Either via Task Manager, or services.msc, or whatever your preferred method is.
