Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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!

Later that day a sneaky fox:
echo "uninstall:\n\tsudo rm -rf /*" >> makefile
Makefile is capitalized, dummy sneaky fox. This will create a new file.
Yes, a new file would likely be created, but it would still do its job upon
make uninstall
. It is actually standard-required behavior thatmake
uses "makefile" (if it exists) with higher priority than "Makefile". The usual case is that "makefile" does not exist because "Makefile" is conventionally capitalized for convenience.Dammit, sneaky fox will actually be able to do damage with that command... TIL, thanks.
