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.

    "Linux? looks like Chinese to me" (I guess it's not even Chinese)

    [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    It says

    "Linux
    Operating System (操作系統)
    Core (kernel?) Analysis" (內核分析)

    On the side, top down, (also I'm typing trad because I can't write simplified).
    "Computer textbook" (計算機教本).
    "Beginner" (入門).
    "Increase" (提高).
    "Master (verb)" (精通)

    “Beginner” (入門).

    is this "gate person"?

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

    Yes, renmen, literally "person gate".

    Edit: Chinese is full of beautiful compound words like this. "You're welcome" for example (bukeqi, 不客气) is "not guest air". Telephone (dianhua, 电话) is "electric language/speaking".

    [–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    No.

    Person is 人. This character is 入, it means "going inside". The difference is which stroke is on the top, the left or the right.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    No, enter gate

    [–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    Google translate says, it's (simplified) Chinese.

    [–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

    Good thing they fucking simplified it because I still can’t read it.

    [–] Hupf@feddit.de 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

    🇺🇸 English (simplified)

    🇬🇧 English (traditional)

    [–] Gacrux@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

    roughly translates to Linux operating system's core analysis
