- 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.

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.

Not gonna happen. Big tech will gladly fill the gaps.
So? If Linux refuses to operate there it'll affect the government directly, I'm sure they have various servers that need to keep running and changing to another OS will take too much time and money. Plus this is a statement showing that the open source community won't comply with what one government wants

I utilize the GECOS field within my Ansible scripts to facilitate the identification of these entities as being managed by Ansible.
If they made TempleOS the default operating system age verification would be irrelevant because it takes 20 years of experience to use.
This is another step towards having a digital ID that is required to use computers at all.
I'm getting closer and closer to either leaving the US as a tech-refuge or moving to the middle of nowhere and living off grid with my data horde that has more offline media than one could consume in a lifetime.
Not sure which is the best option. My bet is that Trump will start dropping nukes to prevent himself from leaving office and wind up cooking the planet alive before I get to choose.
Get fucked, that's my age.
Every time I login, I'm going to send a selfie to my Congress man or woman with a meme text on the top and bottom. Maybe it could just be "fuck asshole" at the top. And "I'm an adult" at the bottom.
