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!

    r/badUiBattles Do we have something like this on Lemmy?

    What a casual strat. Real men wear one of those magnetic rings and use it to diddle their laptop's Hall effect lid sensor.

    Closing your laptop now types the letter E instead of locking

    Hey, that should be T unless you open it back immediately.

    Wayland support too. A forward thinker

    That’s a decent workaround for a laptop with a broken keyboard.

    Straight keys are bad enough, imagine how bad of a repetitive strain injury you would get from this.

    Imagine using neovim with this 👌

    [–] danhab99@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Forget neovim, try using ED

    Id pay to watch that

    [–] tanuki@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

    You want to see the world burn 😂

    There's something like this in Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

    Part of my inspiration to learn to program was that I wanted to blink my capslock key. Did learn to program, did learn Morse, never did that project.

    Okay, this is only encouraging me to finally crack open that book, it's been sitting on my shelf for too long apparently
