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.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
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.

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.

It's OK, gramps, let's get you back to bed.
Oh sweet child, you'll never understand the pleasure of cutting motherboard PCB traces and replacing resistors to overclock a DX2 to 90MHz to play freely distributed CD-ROM cereal box AoE.
I already had a 233 MHz PII when AoE came out, so no.
I was poor as fuck back in AoE times, my computer was already oolllllld.
I still have my cereal box AoE CD somewhere...
Hey, it was really better times when you could have your computer in any colo(u)r you wanted, so long as it was beige.
Now you can have any colour you want, but they have mandatory LEDs embedded in every peripheral a d they no longer sell opaque cases.
You're not kidding. I have no real interest in RGB. But it was cheaper to buy a case with a glass panel and the RGB ram of the same spec was cheaper than non RGB.. I just made all the LEDs Borg green and left it that way.
Unplugging the RGB stuff is pretty simple.
The only RGB things I have is an NVidia 3080, and the RGB ram. Unplugging those would cause me a problem. I could set them to off. But, they're there now. So I make them Borg green.
But if either of them (or the case) cost me more to have the RGB/Glass I'd not have gotten them. It's absolutely not something I care about.
Resistance really is futile.
Resistors are futile.
