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!

    1 line of code?

    Amateur, I changed 1 byte of code in the Linux kernel!

    It was random driver with something along the lines of "if (hardware_version > 3) fail()".

    One day we got a new shipment of hardware that wasn't working for some reason until I upped that 3 to a 4.

    That's 3 bits, from 00110011 to 00110100. Can anyone top that?

    [–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 90 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    I've changed 0 bits of the kernel

    Someone needs to hit us with "I convinced someone to not contribute to the kernel"

    Linus does this well enough on his own, he doesnt need help

    Myself, because I'm stupid with coding.

    If you revert a change that's negative bits. You can do it!
