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 was shocked when I realized people pronounced it fs-tab lmao

    [–] Linguist@lemmy.world 76 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

    Mentally I say Fs-tab because its filesystem table but if I ever say it out loud its f-stab

    [–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 5 months ago

    Madness.

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 8 points 5 months ago

    File system table

    *File System Table-stab

    I've never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm...

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    TIL for me

    Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Idk its just how my brain decided to "chop up" the word if that makes sense

    [–] tourist@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    stab up the word

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 3 points 5 months ago

    Sure we can put that way lol

    [–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 5 months ago
