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.
  • 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.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

  • 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 figuresWe 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.

    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.

    For those who don't know the image source, it's from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

    When you're going up against Adolf Hitler and need to travel back in time, it's the right equipment for the job.

    I thought a bazooka was the preferred weapon for that.

    Adolf Hitler? Ive heard of that guy!

    If anyone's curious as to whether this scene was considered cringy when the movie came out, yes. Yes, it was.

    It's the power glove that really gets me. It's so bad.

    I put an optical drive in my PC recently, and I've been giggling like an idiot typing "eject" and "eject -t" into the terminal. Terminal commands that do something physical in the world delight me.

    It feels magical to run systemctl shutdown now to my laptop through SSH and seeing my laptop turn off without touching it

    I've also been getting a kick out of my new 3D printer and controlling it remotely. Even though if I hit the X+10mm button and that message has to go to Prague and back before the Nextruder nudges to the right.

    I'm so old that when I started there wasn't any choice. It was command line or go outside!

    If you’re not using find with the -exec grep syntax, then I don’t know what to tell you.

    More like, the app complains about not being able to find the window manager due to some environment variables missing in the shell env, and refuses to launch.

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

    Do you even export DISPLAY, bro?!??

    When I use the CLI to launch an application it's because it's crashing

    Sounds like some of you need to get hacked back in time!

    [–] ian@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    What, no black hoodie? I thought all hackers had to wear a hoodie to hack

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 15 points 1 month ago

    There must be a "the virgin Mr Robot hacker vs the chad Kung Fury hackerman" comparison out there somewhere

    [–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

    These kids and their hoodies. Everybody knows that hackers look like this.

    I don't use the termulator for opening apps that can bepened through GUI simply because the termulator has to stay open and that clutters the taskbar.

    Was the video made in Australia or New Zealand by any chance? There are two Microbees (Z80-based computers from New Zealand, virtually unheard of in the northern hemisphere) in the photo,

    Oh man, I haven't thought about Kung Fury since seeing it in a double feature with Turbo Kid when it came out. Thank you.

    Just looked up Kung Fury 2 status yesterday. Still in limbo, but a 10 min sizzle reel leaked last year:
