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.

    I used a flip phone for years are you telling me linux phones can't make phone calls?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

    Of course the can. Source: I have one.

    If you remember the special procedure needed to not fry your SIM, they supposedly can

    Linux phones don't fry your SIM though? Mine's fine.

    Flu doesn't kill people though? I'm fine.

    Flu has been proven to kill people.

    The PinePhone has not killed any of my SIMs, and I've heard of nobody else having that happen. Nowhere on Pine64 conmunities. The burden of proof is on the one which made the claim that PinePhones kill SIM cards.

    Stop spreading lies like "Pinephone kills SIMs". And if it truly did happen to yours are you sure the SIM didn't stop working because of the PinePhone and would have done anyways?

    Librems kill SIMs. Go on the forum and check.

    You mean like this? Inserting it with the phone switched on? Older phones had this issue. Not unique to Linux phones.

    And Librem is by far not the only Linux phone. Most do not kill SIMs. You can't just make a blanket statement like that because of one model's fault.

    That's like saying all Samsung phones blow up.

    I stand corrected, they're great phones

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    thats absolutely fucked, lol. Why even sell these if they cant make calls

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    They can. And I've never heard of them frying SIMs. I had my SIM in one for a year and it still works fine.
