  • 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 don't know when I'll next get the opportunity to ask this, so

    How do people pronounce this: "gee lib cee" or "glib cee"?

    I have the same question about clang

    idk what the official pronunciation is, but i say "gee lib cee" and "clang" (like the onomatopoeia)

    Just to confirm, I say gee lib cee or lib cee as well. Honestly, I have never heard any different.

    Since the pronunciation of "gif" became an issue, I stopped caring about how anyone says anything. My pet giraffe has his own opinion though.

    1. glib cee

    2. clang as if a metal pipe fell on the floor and made a loud noise: "CLANG"
