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!

    Facebook started giving me friend suggestions of people who worked there. Location wasn’t even enabled on my phone.

    Some devices will still passively check SSIDs, even with WiFi "off", then they just look for users who have similar nearby wireless networks.

    Bluetooth? Maybe even ultrasound to detect nearby devices?

    I don't think you can have privacy online anymore. The best thing you can do is make a lot of noise, so it's hard to determine what data is real, and who it belongs to.
