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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe 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.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    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 remove France.

    Actually, Elmo didn't found Tesla.

    [–] ccunning@lemmy.world 166 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Didn’t he in fact sue the actual founders to be allowed to be called a founder?

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 107 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    I thought he paid extra to be able to tell that lie.

    [–] ccunning@lemmy.world 67 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I believe the lawsuit was settled. I don’t really remember the details, but sounds super-Musky that that would be part of the terms of the settlement.

    I replace your reality with my own, using the legal system.

    [–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

    I reject your reality and substitute my own!

    *money through the legal system

    [–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Paying a Lawyer to make the others agree is kind of the same thing, right?

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    It's exactly the same thing, except for being more scummy and entitled.

    [–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

    Par for the course with that guy

    [–] bisby@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Given his history, if he had to sue someone to be able to use a title, it's probably not a legitimate title.

    [–] magikmw@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I love how this could be a quote from a Crusader Kings community.

    Only needs a little more Byzantium bashing and incest and it's archetypical 😁

    I asked grok and it said he did. It also said earth was cylindrical.

    [–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

    Are you sure you spoke to grok? Did it mention white genocide or mechahitler?

    [–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    That nickname is an insult to compassionate and intelligent muppets.

    [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

    phoney stark, dorkmaga, space karen.

    That's an insult to felons and the concept of odors.

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

    For real tho.

    I was never exposed to the show (etc.) actually & still find it terribly insulting.

    [–] Zombie@feddit.uk 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    My university textbooks said he did. I was dumfounded when I saw that.

    [–] fluxion@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

    Hopefully they didn't charge you absurd prices for those shitty books, but i already know they did

    [–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I hope your tuition is free then. Sounds like you could get a better education from chatgpt.

    [–] Zombie@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

    Free at the point of service.

    But that just means I'm paying indirectly via taxation. It's still being paid for somehow.

    Taxpayers are paying for lies to be spread at university level, to stroke the ego of a known Nazi and potential paedophile. Yippee...

    also how could steve jobs be visionary if he needed glasses

    [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    he couldnt see that his pnet(pancreatic) cancer was a rare type, and it was slow growing compared to usual one( usually metastic by the time of diagnosis and pretty lethal). he went on all fruit diet to treat until it was too late.

    Checkmate presbytarians

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

    His only vision was profit.
    Needed glasses to count the profits in cents.

    [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

    steve jobs sued and stole his way to apple.
