- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.

- 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

- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin 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.

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 remove France.

Came here for this ❤️
Alright, ive watched this anime twice and i guess im clearly missing something. What's special about it? The animation was okay. They could have thrown in a couple of jokes to spice it up. Maybe toss a pie at the floaty girl once in a while, huh?
the reason it looks to you like it's just part of the crowd is because it helped define that crowd, in a direction that was distinctly different from 80s cyberpunk and far more rooted in our modern reality - which is impressive considering it's approaching 30 years old now and the internet was in its infancy at the time. it was a pioneer in visual elements and aesthetic vis a vis the web, and it's ingrained in counterculture as its initial popularity spread on 4chan.
i've heard it said that lain is to autism as neon genesis evangelion is to depression, so it may also just be that you're not the target audience.
