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 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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    I hated back in 2015 when people were leaving other communication platforms for the lesser option of Discord

    Even today Discord still doesn’t have directional chat and you can’t be in multiple calls at once

    At least mods help mask all the missing features

    I left mumble, teamspeak, and Skype for Discord.

    Discord is easily the better options among those choices.

    I also can't think of much use for being in more than one call at once. I dunno seems like you're just looking for a different thing. And that's okay.

    Discord didn't, and still doesn't, require a download. Easier for people to pick up and easier to use on locked down computers.

    This. Whatever can be used on devices without admin rights, such as work or school devices, for "free", will get picked up by normie worker drones and college students and minors in droves.

    It's been pretty handy in a lot of ways, but yeah I do hate what it's doing to indexable information and it's only a matter of time before it goes for IPO and suddenly gets way worse seemingly overnight...

    I'm unfamiliar with Directional Chat outside of things like VRchat, how that work if you're not manipulating your position in space relative to other users?

    Still manipulating space

    In Axon you had a 2d plane with a picture you could drag around for where you were compared to everyone else
