  • 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.

    I've never been in a corporate environment where stickers on laptops that weren't branded for the company itself was considered acceptable or professional.

    [โ€“] oatscoop@midwest.social 7 points 11 months ago

    I sticker my laptops.

    I view it as theft deterrent. It stands out so it's easier to see in someone's hands, and makes an expensive laptop looks kind of shitty.

    [โ€“] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

    I have. It's not all what it's cracked up to be.

    Yeah, god forbid anyone have a little fun in a corporate environment. Gotta stay in uniform.

    I put a rainbow peel off sticker next to my camera just so I had something nice to look at during the endless Zoom meetings. No one but I could see it. Still got a bollocksing because some boomer passed too close behind my work station once in four years.

    Did you work with engineers?

    [โ€“] rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Extensively. Nobody has stickers on their laptops. Maybe that's some "fresh out of college" shit.

    Maybe. Maybe it's a "We can't afford to alienate expensive engineers over stickers" thing, or a "We care more about the quality of work than sticks on laptops" thing.

    Must be a fun place you work at. Do you wear a suit to work and work in cubicles?

    I don't talk about the specific details of my employment on the internet with strangers. Especially with those who are fishing for a fight in which I have little interest.

    [โ€“] SuddenlyBlowGreen@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Okay, have fun a work tomorrow! Or don't, as that seems to be your preference. :-)

    "You must hate your job because you think putting stickers on laptops is tacky!"

    Touch grass.

    Whoa, that's not very professional or acceptable :-)
