Sister communities:


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.

    No, it does depend on instance admins for how it is used. Viewing Mona Lisa doesn't make every tourist its owner.

    I um… what? We’re discussing privacy and external monitoring. Ownership is irrelevant. I think you might be crossing discussions, but just look at the OC.

    Much of the spying on people is done for monetary gains, which would be illegal if the platform doesn't sell the rights to the content.

    E.G. Reddit sold comment usage rights to OpenAI for $60,000,000 USD.

    Phew! I’m so glad you told me that, because we know no company or individual ever did anything illegal. DuPont hasn’t poisoned the whole planet, and OpenAI didn’t admit stealing content is the only way their business model can work.

    If they could steal everything with no repercussions then they wouldn't be paying for the data,
