1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, 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. 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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Why are so many people still printing often enough to justify having a full printer?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Because having only half of a printer doesn't serve any purpose.

    That's just what HP wants you to think. Think about, you only really need half a page at any one time. They're just up charging you so they can sell more printer!

    Because we live in the real world where you still need to physically print, sign, and return things. Lol, sucks, but that is life.

    It's not often, and when the need arises, it's usually important, so a laser printer is there when you need it and works without fuss (or having the ink dry up during long periods of dormancy)

    I just go somewhere to print those things. They don't happen often enough to justify the space a printer takes up
