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.

    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.

    We'll update the 200 mb program.

    not pictured: the other 500mb of libraries and dependencies that tag along.

    Pedant warning: your last phrase should contain "than", not "then".

    [–] Emerald@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

    Indeed. I literally never use the word "than". Fuck grammar, "than" looks weird.

    I never say "than", I say "then", therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

    Edit: I wonder what the most downvoted comment is on Lemmy World, am I making history?

    Edit: I'm concerned for everyone who upvoted this

    Our education system is in the toilet and I didn't pay attention 😂

    I mean, I suppose I respect the commitment to just being unequivocally wrong.

    I'm not really ignorant if I know I am using bad grammar. I know it's wrong I just do it anyways. That makes me stupid, not ignorant

    [–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

    Obstinate sure but not ignorant.

    If it was an actual formal writing I would use proper grammar but other then (oh man what do I do here) that I never really use than.

    [–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Hilarious when people want to resort to “I WASN’T WRITING FORMALLY” in these situations. Just take the L and acknowledge it was a flub. Much less cringe that way.

    [–] Emerald@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

    Oh I absolutely did take the L

    [–] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

    In dead case, I fish you the bessed.

    [–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

    Lol it's not grammar, you've used an entirely different word that just sounds kinda similar. You're essentially saying the actual words used don't matter in these two sentences because they sound similar:

    I like to wear t-shirts

    Eye lick two where tea-shits

    I also enjoy needing to download 1GB to update a 14MB program

    FLASH
    Are you using a white theme terminal? I hope it's just an edited screenshot.

    [–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Light theme used to be the only theme. People now need dark themes because they're eyes are too week from all the worke.

    And before that, black text printed on white continuous form paper.

    [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago

    Paper doesn't fry my eyeballs.

    [–] Hupf@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago

    Now I'm wondering if historically people started writing on blackboards first or in paper. Etching into wood/stone doesn't count since it lacks contrast.
