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.

    Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

    UKGOV haven't started on things like Wikipedia yet. They know kids use it for school and blinded by ideology though they are, even they can see there'd be an enormous backlash if they blocked it any time soon.

    If that's going to happen at all, I doubt it would be before the next election. That's whether Labour get re-elected or the Tories make an unexpected comeback. You can tell how far Labour have fallen in the eyes of their party faithful when they've taken a Tory-drafted policy and made it their own.

    Ironically, the up and coming third option fascist party, have said they're going to repeal the Online Safety Act. They have other fish to fry if they get in, and they'll want to keep their preferred demographic(s) happy while they do it.

    I assume that eventually something like the OSA would come back to "protect the children". They love the current US President.

    None of this is hopeful. Take this as more of a rant.

    I'm certain that when UK forces DigitalID upon the nation it will be a requirement for access to every website
