1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • 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.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

    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.

    Hello! Here is your random engineer: You have to connect both trap doors to the same side of the turbine. Otherwise your generator has a great chance to get blocked by users.

    Otherwise the concept looks good. If we find a way to get the Linux guys out and make them able to walk a slight incline without collapsing this should work.

    Tbh any turbine likely has the potential to be blocked, if two come along at once, making one become trapped between the turbine blade and the wall.

    For maximal efficiency, I would suggest a spring-loaded ring of rollers inside a solid metal ring, conforming to the shape of passing Linux users. The dynamos would need to be calibrated such that the stiction of passing users is enough to slow their fall to match the current flow rate of entering users (n.b. is this doable? If not may need to use the spring pressure for this) to ensure maximal energy extraction for available user flow.

    To address the blocking issue, i propose a vibrating (and cushioned) funnel to make sure that the linux users get to the turbine in single file. this keeps the system simpler and helps the linux users pass more easily, because it adheres to the UNIX philosophy of doing just one thing, which works as a lubricant.

    I'm fairly sure there's a queuing module implemented by sys.h that could help with that.

    You made one critical error in this perpetual energy machine plan: linux users don't go outside.

    I do, because I also avoid using Amazon as much as possible

    It sucks

    The humans have to be born, raised, fed and the panel clearly says solar energy for the speaker. None of this is perpetual.

    I love it. I'd get lots of exercise, enjoy a cool underground slide and fix the world. To make it really high output, you should ad a very large trap intake for the window users that will inevitably climb up to complain they can't game on Linux. Now you are going to need lot of bait sentences that will trigger a Linux enthousiast. Here are some. ; > I wish I could apply all updates at a convenient time> or > I have these MRI image I want to look at> who has more?

    Aww, so funny. Lemmy ha 2% posts by linux enthusiasts and 98% posts trying to make fun of linux enthusiasts. It stopped being fun months ago.

    I've been a Linux user for 15 years now. I run a small Portuguese language blog about open source software. I'd be ascending the hill myself.

    ... And the original meme, which I edited, was about Pathfinder players climbing the hill to evangelise to DnD 5 players. And was sent to the group where me and my friends play Pathfinder biweekly.

    It seems most people got the joke.
