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
sudoin 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. ๐ฌ๐ง Language/ัะทัะบ/Sprache

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We 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. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
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 remove France.

MODERATORS
To be honest, DNA is stupid anyway. Worst data format ever invented.
I mean, a single mutation to get sickle cell anemia? Use fucking error correction codes, dammit! No, having everything twice is not error correction. It's only error detection and the detected error is just silently ignored and randomly passed on to your offspring.
Where are the damn backups? 3-2-1 should hold for every data format! How would an offsite backup be designed? I don't know I'm not evolution incorporated.
Why are viruses even a thing??? There is no reason EVER to be able to insert new DNA into your genome. Make it read only! With checksums! Why is there no Denuvo DNA-DRM?
Slightly unrelated but even worse, your immune system is literally only controlled by the equivalent of HTTP. Deactivate completely? Attack everything on sight? No authorization required whatsoever! Just use the public API! Surely nothing could exploit this, right??
Small Edit as a response to everyone mentioning the need to change for evolution:
Maybe, just maybe use a test environment? You don't just push to production the moment you make a change. Move fast and break things my ass. Since women already have the production environment just create a similar structure in men! They already have TESTicles after all.
DNA is not meant to be stable, it is meant to mutate and evolve, also it wasn't invented, it manifested itself out of chaos. One reason why understanding it is so hard. It is not made like a machine, it doesn't have neat parts with clear roles or categories. It's sort of pure chaos all sort of working together in a giant orchestra without categories or bounds.
So like javascript?
Hmm I guess but DNA is probably the most complex nearly illogical thing that I know of.
So like javascript.
Haha well I see you haven't met C yet.
All jokes aside complexity and chaos isn't just there for a reason. It has a purpose. Java and C are complex but also powerful. Things that are easy to use are often very limited in what you can do. Not always but often times.
