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.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

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. Β
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.

Okay funny, but yeah Tesla on here kinda fucks it up because Elon is not a founder of Tesla, and he's not visionary unless you count finding new ways to make it worthless. Elon is not visionary in any of his businesses, he just has money and pays people under him to try to make him look good. Emphasis on try
He is an asshole though, I'll give you that
Oh, but Elon is a founder, he paid enough to retcon himself as such, so he is.
Can't argue him being a 'visionary' though, unless you count ambitions that are vague enough so they are not actually actionable and obvious enough that pretty much any random person would be predicting the same thing.
Paying to say you are something doesn't mean people need to accept it. He's not a founder of Tesla under conventional understanding and he never will be. It's as simple as that
All we've got to do is forget how it went down and ask Grok to tell us instead...
Instructions unclear, grok is now shouting about Hitler.
Instructions clear, but grok is still shouting about Hitler.
Eh, calling Linus 'quiet' kind of cancels it out.
Until 2015 or so he did look good. Whenever the divers debacle was.
'member r/enoughmuskspam ? Reddit was blowing him so hard there was a sub asking to please tone it down a little.
