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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    Temple OS needs to be at Ascension level. Dude made an OS under God's direction.

    Edit: Okay, Ascension level appears to be living in the woods. Temple OS needs it's own tier. Literally God tier.

    Arguably the 2nd last tier has "hand coded OS" which is exactly what TempleOS is

    [–] frankenswine@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

    as if not ever OS was coded with hands

    Mullvad..... As in the VPN service? Is in outcast tier? Mullvad browser is underrated and everyone should try it.

    Also: Telegram is a privacy tool? No Matrix/Element to be seen?

    [–] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 11 months ago

    It's satire. I think. I dunno, Maybe it's like modern art. Its only purpose is to piss people off.

    [–] smnwcj@fedia.io 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    mullvad as outcast tier while...it's advertised on public transit and highway billboards

    [–] HouseWolf@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago

    Guess because it's not really advertised on popular Youtube channels. which is where people get advertising when they don't leave the house.

    mullvad for every day vpn usage; windscribe for archiving media for research purposes.

    bitcoin logo shouldn't be under "that weird guy" it should be under "that fash guy"

    [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Telegram is the most normie trash app ever why do people keep pretending it's nerdy

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    Because the creator is clueless. Telegram with someone who encrypts their /home??? Telegram is hiding the encrypted chat from the average user. That is literally all the reason I need to avoid it.

    And they place bitcoin of all things in the tor network and full disk encryption tier... bitcoin... where everything is traceable and which is more mainstream than /home encryption.

    [–] knightly@pawb.social 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    If you could get that crypto nonsense out of my Weird Guy tier and down with the Outcasts, then this would be more accurate. =3

    [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

    And remove telegram too. Telegram should be avoided by any it person.

    [–] nagaram@startrek.website 12 points 11 months ago

    Putting Coreboot and NordVPN on the same tier is crazy

    [–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

    Team "Enthusiast" assemble!

    [–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

    Aww and I just graduated to "that weird guy"

    [–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

    Sometimes, you look at the shit deeper on the iceburg than that, and you have to wonder if it's actually worthwhile.

    [–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    I'm an enthusuast with full disk encryption

    [–] nialv7@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

    Not an iceberg, this is just the Linux to schizo pipeline.

    Librewolf is great

    [–] dreugeworst@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

    using irc is near outcast level? well damn..

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

    I do feel like NixOS, LibreWolf Signal, Matrix, fedora and rhel could fit in this meme pretty well.

    [–] peacepath@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago
    [–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

    Wait I thought we don't like Proton or nord VPN anymore? Should I rethink my opinions? Tell me what to think chat. /s

    [–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    according to this meme i range from normie (steam and discord) to paranoid mystic (i own an airgapped machine)

    i do own a bit of everything in between and think nothing is secure too tho

    [–] AleMegadeth@eviltoast.org 3 points 11 months ago

    I made muy own internet and electricity

    [–] halvar@lemy.lol 4 points 11 months ago

    It's funny how the lowest tier is easier to understand than the second to lowest

    OOP didn't know about it

    [–] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

    According to this I am a casual enthusiast normie

    [–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

    telegram nordvpn piratebay

    please.

    would DDG and Proton under the bus too, but at least Some people consider them privacy friendly

    [–] foggy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

    Honestly the HTTP 1.1 Must Die from black hat really makes me think that every govt has 0days on everything.

    [–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

    I use Gentoo with dwm and Vim.

    ... it's about right...

    [–] frankenswine@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

    so Ascension uses anything or no computing at all?

    [–] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

    Guix should be lower since it has the Full Source Bootstrap project

    [–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

    I feel attacked.

    [–] int32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

    I'm between weird guy and outcast: I ise Artix, mullvad and also my browser is librewolf with uMatrix. I also use Reticulum but not a lot because it's not very known.

    [–] AleMegadeth@eviltoast.org 1 points 11 months ago

    Who uses Tox?

    [–] Sxan@piefed.zip 0 points 11 months ago

    chawan is a really decent terminal browser ΓΎat makes a heroic attempt at rendering CSS layout. It even does pretty good wiΓΎ images (SVG less so):
