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.

    postman hands him card reader, he instantly asks where the settings are

    This is awesome XD

    "Bro this screen is too bright, is there a dark mode?"

    every command he runs is an alias

    Okay thats me. I love my aliases, I store them in separate files in ~/.config/fish/conf.d

    postman hands him card reader

    I'm not getting it. I guess I don't interact with postmen enough, because I have no idea how a card reader is related to mail delivery.

    Me neither, I sometimes have to sign on a device

    Perhaps it's about payment-on-delivery.

    Pretty usual in Slovakia, though you'll be generally charged some extra for not paying in advance. Usually something like €1.

    Idk, but it could be because the payment of the delivery is done 'via surname' to the postman when the package is handed over. So the bank can't track on what you spend your money on (in case you are afraid they do). This option exists at least in Germany. However, it costs an high extra fee.

    I dont think we do that in germany, shipping is always paid in advance

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

    It's called "per Nachnahme", C.O.D. in English. You'd pay the postman for your parcel and the post office would pay the sender. It used to be quite popular in pre internet days. You whippersnappers wouldn't remember. Not used a lot any more these days.

    God I love cash on delivery

    In my experience, if a seller in Germany offers that option, it's 5 - 6€ extra, I don't know anyone that ever used that service. Probably was more common before online payment was easy.
