    Throwback to that time when Steam for Linux would sometimes rm -rf /* your computer. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

      I can’t believe this happened! Now I’m more interested in seeing those memes people posted on the issue.

          No that was a bug with the linux package manager when he was trying to install steam, steam wasn’t the issue

            Are there tools like pusshift for Lemmy already or why can you see a comment I deleted directly after posting it?

      It did what?! Holy crap, I’ve never heard of that. Guess I should be less lazy and run a backup more frequently.

        If you uninstalled ROTMG when it first launched, it would delete everything from your disk.

        yes, do as I say

        But this isn’t what happened. For Linus, it was a bug with APT that made it uninstall the entire desktop environment.

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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • 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 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.

 

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.
