Sister communities:

Community rules (click to expand)

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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Lol, I'm done discussing with you fruity.

    You're blatantly ignoring / laughing away evidence to protect the image of a bad, but for some reason, you're favorite spyware slinging company.

    And on top of it,
    now also bashing the privacy and linux communities since you can't make valid debunkments :P

    Instead of bashing,
    to suck up to that spying company,
    perhaps you should try defending your rights to privacy for a change.

    You may rant in the void now,
    I won't waste time on your fanboy nonsense anymore.

    No, I’m waving away reactionary nonsense.

    But keep pretending like you know what you’re doing because you’ve made your competency level clear as day here.

    Yet another “privacy advocate” not knowing what they’re doing.
