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.

    The demon is Bill Gates fueled with the tormented souls of Microsoft employees that just got layed off. The solution is to print out a few Arch wiki pages and a usb stick (with Arch) and say "the power of Torvalds compels you" until the PC is once again pure. Than keep your PC pure by avoiding absolutely proprietary software and always praying to Tux for more features.

    Demons prefer FreeBSD

    Linux doesn't have this? Man, I guess I'll stick with windows. That shit is metal AF.

    I think HellOS comes with demonic teeth drivers right out of the box.

    systemd keeps daemons under control, the computer will be fine with Linux.

    sed s/demon/daemon/g

    The install is complete.

    [–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

    Ok, but imaging playing one of the new Doom games with that set up:

    Action starts to get intense.

    The tension, and temperature rises.

    Suddenly, a whisper at the back of your mind "hail satan hail satan hail satan"

    As more enemies appear, and the temperature rises, it becomes louder, pulsing in your ears. Somehow a whisper that is now shouting.

    As you cleanse the demonic filth, the chanting subsides and stops, bringing a measure of peace, at least for the moment.

    Your computer wants to be possessed by Daemons sir

    [–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

    Daemons > demons

    [–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

    Well… the satanists I’ve met definitely seemed like a Linux crowd, so it’s not the worst suggestion prior to sacrificing a goat or something of that nature.

    [–] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

    The machine spirit yearns for linux

    Pleasantly surprised seeing tpwrtrmnky here.

    [–] rickdg@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

    Good move, now the demon can't get a wi-fi connection.

    [–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 136 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    When was the last time you saw a possessed Linux system? Don’t worry I’ll wait

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

    Every linux comes with perl and bash, possession is a single script away

    my Linux has dæmons all over it

    [–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 57 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    The good dæmons compete with pathogenic bad dæmons, and are essential for the computer's health.

    [–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 33 points 1 week ago

    All my Linux systems are possessed by daemons

    [–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 108 points 1 week ago (7 children)

    Stupid Linux Guy doesn't realize that by installing Linux, you install even more daemons on your machine!

    [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

    Just because they're daemons doesn't mean they're bad or malicious. Assuming they are is racist.

    You can probably configure the demon in Linux

    [–] AnIntenseMoist@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago (4 children)
    demonctl stop hellfire
    demonctl disable hellfire
    demonctl enable regular-fire
    demonctl start regular-fire
    
    demonctl set --force body-type=human horns=2 eyes=2 tongue=forked skin=red
    demonctl add --object electric-guitar
    demonctl speak "play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls"

    Honestly TempleOS might be the way to go on this one

    This is like 99% of Lemmy users.

    "How do I fix this issue with my computer?"

    "Have you heard of our lord and savior FOSS?"

    [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (12 children)

    would actually solve 90% of problems.

    I think such circumstances require TempleOS.

    [–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    it's true though, specificity TempleOS

    Best way to kill -9 a daemon 🀷

    [–] maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I'm inclined to believe that's normal Windows behavior at this point...

    I'm sure you have no ulterior motives on this subject, maxwells_daemon.
