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!

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.

Put your money where your mouth is and open source the Tesla software. Do it. I fuckin' dare ya.

Edit: we want Falcon 9's landing guidance software too.

[–] [email protected] 100 points 6 months ago (16 children)

Open sourcing the falcon 9 software would almost definitely be a violation of ITAR.... On second thought it would be fun to see him go to prison.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 6 months ago

Nothing could possibly go wrong open sourcing a ~~missle~~ rocket guidance system...

No, not just open, free it entirely. License the code under a GPL license.

Careful Linus. This guy may start claiming he is a confounder of Linux any moment now.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 months ago

Musk certainly is confounding.

The nice thing about Linux is, he can't buy it and fuck it up.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 6 months ago (13 children)

He can still fuck up the community.

You say that, but I'll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.

No this dipshit just says whatever he thinks is going to be the most popular with the tech bros he is desperate to be in front of.

Broken clock.

He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.

Elon just tries to get approval by finding a dominate opinion among a group of people and parroting back what they say and want. Kinda obvious and pathetic.

Is it purely because Linux has the letter "X" in it?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (2 children)

First thing he'll do is write Torvalds and suggest a minor change to the naming.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

given Linus' flair for writing replies, I would love to see him rip into Elon.

Sorry Elon you, specifically, have to go to space before getting involved in Linux. It's the Shuttleworth law.
