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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

    If "privacy friendly" or "secure" were regulated terms most linux distros would have been sued/fined into bankruptcy for deceptive marketing.

    Kinda think this would be entirely dependent on the imaginary regulations, so comments like this are essentially nonsense.

    Just look at the bastardisation of current regulated terms

    There are regulations, they are either inadequate or aren't being applied to products or services used by regular consumers. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11062200

    Also which terms? You can't call yourself an MD, RN or an Attorney etc in US and many other countries if you aren't one. You can't market drugs that haven't been approved by the FDA. Also bastardisation isn't a justification for no regulation.
