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!

    Without the mention of mansplain and womansplain this would be funny

    I work in IT and sometimes I have to explain something to a user who is somewhat tech-illiterate. Even developers may have significant blind spots when it comes to their OS or networking, for example.

    So, if I notice it, I'll change some terminology and I may explain instructions differently or use metaphors so every user understands what I'm saying.

    And most coworkers do the same thing.

    Here's why I bring this up: For whatever reason, some colleagues give female coworkers the same treatment.

    And that's weird.

    If someone is constantly treated like this, they should be allowed to rant about it on their blog. I'm fine with snark if it geht's a point across.

    Is it bad if I tend to do this except to everyone because I don't generally expect people to know the same specific stuff as me?

    [–] Luccus@feddit.de 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

    No. If it's everyone, then it's everyone and at worst it's not the most efficient way to communicate.

    I would say, if you single out a group of people based on physical characteristics, then it gets weird.

    But if it's "The internet won't start" vs "Every packet on port 433 is dropped even though no firewall rule is set", then I think it's reasonable to make some asumptions and adjust communication accordingly.

    Oh yeah definitely. With that second one, is be requesting explanation for myself!

    It's really just that when I start to say anything about anything I'm interested in, I get a "why do you think I know anything about that?" a lot, so I shifted gears to the opposite early in life. I go explaining all the things involved with what I'm talking about before I get to the point and people think I'm tangential.

    I love the examples!

    That's fine. It's proof that both exist and one is deadly.
