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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Dude named himself after an OS and then misspelled it.

    I think he originally wanted to call it Freax, not Linux.

    Gah so many people have reposted this that when I try on duckduckgo, it just shows me lemmy posts of this meme. I can't even see the linux github page

    [–] pressanykeynow@iusearchlinux.fyi 14 points 2 years ago

    I can't even see the linux github page

    I bet there's a language somewhere that sums that whole sentence up in one word.

    [–] Barns@lemmy.world 46 points 2 years ago (4 children)

    My bet would be on a European one, potentially German, where it would be 35 letters that look exactly like a cat barfed on the keyboard

    Weltschmerz

    [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago

    Kaltdunkeltrauerverzweifelungsvollraum. However, even Germans would not combine all this and say something like ein kalter, dunkler Raum voll Trauer und Verzweiflung.

    Fight me: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

    Yes this is one word and it makes sense.

    "Beef labeling monitoring task transfer act"

    Excuse me??

    I did not ask you to translate it! Now you openended Pandoras Büchse

    [–] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

    Using compound words is just cheating.

    [–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

    If it's just a compound noun it's no fun, because it's just a literal translation of those same words except there's no spaces between the individual words in German

    [–] paddirn@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Most likely german: kalterdunklerOrtvollerTraurigkeitundVerzweiflung

    [–] SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

    I'd really like to see how Germans manage their college essays with minimum word count.

    [–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    In Brazil exists a son of a removed with a company named "Nude" and they are so godlike with their SEO that they are the first result(in Brazil only), all others results are porn sites and the motherfucker is not even a sponsored result. Linus has some competition for the title "Master of SEO".

    [–] faintedheart@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    removed

    Did you do that or admins?

    [–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Just for clarity my reply was not deleted by admins, I deleted a duplicate because of a bug and both replies got deleted.

    Anyway, probably admins removed the cursing.

    [–] faintedheart@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Is it possible to turn it off? I feel more censorship here in lemmy than reddit. Lemmy.world had some power tripping mods. Joined lemm.ee. I don't like curse words to be removed. If someone is personally attacking someone then can understand blocking him/her.

    [–] cheerjoy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    The account is from lemmy.ml, so they're the ones using the filter.

    [–] salient_one@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    Only instance admins can configure it (including turning it off for all their users).

    [–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

    Oh, strange that he use b* as example but the only word removed was the b*. But ok, I don't mind.

    [–] mjs@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You can't curse? Motherfucker (testing)

    [–] UlrikHD@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Some puritan servers automatically censor certain swear words. If a user of one of those instances swear, the word is replaced with removed, if a user of another instance swears, only the puritan server users will see the word as censored, the rest will see the real word. The word for a female dog is one of those censored words for certain servers.

    [–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

    Even more reason for me to try self-hosting a Lemmy instance... I really need to get around to it some time lol

    It's called being a Finn in winter.

    Bro wtf even Brave Search displays this but only if you search without the quotes.

    [–] EqMinMax@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

    Now if we google this, maximum search results we get from is mastodon. "sus"

    [–] OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

    That full quote is so fitting. I have been trying to get hyprland working on NixOS and now I am just sad and frustrated

    Sad to see him use Google in 2023 but funny.

    I ran the query on Kagi also and it does show the same thing at the top, but also 33 other results from lots of different sites discussing it.

    https://kagi.com/search?q=cold+dark+place+filled+with+sadness+and+despair&amp;r=se&amp;sh=xwfGnG_ze1m3u3BrKZEWvw

    I shared a link now to these exact results so people without accounts can view.

    [–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    Kagi is akin to using Google in incognito mode though... They use Google's index for the most part and that's why you get the exact same results.

    If you want to not use Google, your choices are effectively Bing (and others which use its indices such as DuckDuckGo, Ecosia etc.), Baidu, Yahoo, Yandex or Qwant.

    [–] Kazevic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    How about Brave Search? It has its own index, and the results are definitely better than Bing and Bing-based search engines. I still find Google's results to be better, but it's the best privacy-friendly search engine right now.

    [–] spez@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

    Hell,for more programming/technical topics I find brave search to even be better than google!

    [–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    He was happy to use Google+ his primary social media, why wouldn't he use Google

    [–] Nihilore@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

    Googlewhacking, now that’s a blast from the past
