Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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.

Twitter is doing what? Why? ???
Want everyone to stop talking about your mistakes and failures? Rebrand! Now everyone is focused on your new stupid logo!
It totally worked for Xfinity
Charter did the same and rebranded to Spectrum.
This I understand, but why in the name of the gods both old and new to X?? Why just one letter? ~Does his brain not work?~
Nvm figured it out
Its rage bait and everyone is still promoting it
Not why. X.
Musk really likes the letter X, and his previous x.com venture from 1999 went belly up
So, he’s rebranding his new toy to his favorite letter
I thought x.com became paypal
It was taken over by PayPal, yeah. PayPal was the better processor and didn’t want competition
PayPal didn't have enough cash to expand as quickly as they wanted to though, so they merged with x.com to get ahold of that blood emerald money.
Same reasons as reddit. Pure stupidity.
Give spez a few weeks and he’ll have followed with a reddit rebrand.
Coming soon: reddit changes its name to 𝕐, because 𝕐 not?
Some megalomaniac man child thought it was a good idea.
musk likes X better
