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!

    I can be as rich as god and wouldn't go for windows or apple. I would rather invest the money in good Foss development

    Probably the reason as to why you aren't rich in the first place

    [–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 10 points 6 months ago

    I can objectively state the contrary.
    Mac don't cause riches to customer.
    Riches cause Mac customer.

    Yes, my idealism is one of the reasons, another is severe ADHD.

    That's fantastic, man! Congratulations, really!

    Being a support person, if I was rich enough to frivolously buy systems, I'd have at least one of each as a reference system. Yes, I know, vms, but that's for saving money/space. Especially MAC I'd have some hardware too. Definitely not a main system though. I currently have a broken Mac and a cheap chromebook for that reason, though due to being broken the Mac is rather useless now. When it worked I often used it to help test/troubleshooting customer stuff.

    For real I've put in a fraction supporting OpenSource then I had if I had to buy unfree software and I've gotten way more out of it.

    I see it as a difference between owning and renting.
