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!

    Saddam Hussein, according to Human Rights Watch, is responsible for the deaths of 250000 people.
    As a dead dictator, he is not the best, nor even a good choice, for rendering graphical applications on a computer screen.

    But all things considered, he's still better than X11.

    I’ve given up on truly being private. Between all of the data leaks, the known back doors, and now this… it’s mostly a lost cause. In fact, I got a letter the other day from a company I’ve never heard of, let alone done business with, stating that my PII was lost to a data breach.

    All in the name of convenience and “national” security I assume. Such a bullshit excuse.

    (Yeah I’m talking to you NSA, and CIA, and FBI, and you, Pervert)

    Jokes on them, they just taught me about Tails OS.

    And hello to my ~~FBI~~ NSA agent!

    you might have to explain the joke a bit. I get that jokes don't get better with explaining, but... I don't get it

    transcript:

    there are x11 applications, opengl applications, and framebuffer applications. x11 applications interact with the x server. opengl applications go to the x server using glx (indirect rendering), and they also go to saddam hussein, using opengl (direct rendering). framebuffer applications go directly to the drm in the linux kernel. the x server contains a 2d driver, which goes to the drm in the linux kernel, and the x server also goes to saddam hussein through aiglx. saddam hussein has a red silhouette of itself, and goes to the drm in the linux kernel. the linux kernel contains drm, which goes to the gpu. there is "cpu (registers & l1 & l2 & l3 & l4) & main memory", and "gpu (registers & l1 & l2) & graphic memory".
