  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • 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.
  • 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.

    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.

    Is there no way to play roblox currently? I thought there was a launcher that did weird stuff to the android version like we have for minecraft bedrock

    No one should patronize Roblox. They exploit child labor for profit:

    investigation: How Roblox is Exploiting Young Game Developers

    Roblox Pressured Us to Delete Our Video. So We Dug Deeper.

    When you hear "Roblox" you should think "child exploitation".

    I don't see how Roblox is any worse than every other platform. If a child makes an app and puts it on Steam, Steam takes 30%. If a kid makes a YouTube channel, YouTube takes their cut of ad revenue.

    Roblox made it easy enough to code that it got kids excited to write their own games. If any other game platform made it as easy, they'd have the same "child exploitation" problem.

    Roblox didn't just "make it easy", it's their entire business model, which is the problem. Watch the videos. The discussion isn't about how much of a percentage Roblox takes, it's about how kids basically get pressured to work in digital sweatshops to create the content which is what Roblox sells.

    Those lazy kids need to work harder. Most Roblox games are crap.
