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.
    • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    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.

    Sure, ignore him being pals with the homophobe CEO and welcoming Mr. genocide because he made cool tech. Because being a developer puts you above mere ethical issues, and saying "I'm apolitical" makes you immune to criticism.

    And lets ignore that it's been changed since. People 'never' change, so lets fuck up their entire career and public image for life.

    Andreas hasn't changed, that's half the point of my comment. The PR was sent by someone else, merged by someone else, disguised with a different title, and all after his departure announcement. Someone approached him about it later, and Andreas himself admits he hasn't changed his mind. Did you read nothing? Where's this change you're so confident about?

    And I'm not ruining his career, that's absurd. I couldn't manage, even if I wanted to. Look at the niche forum we're in. Even so, I've defended his work, his skill, the very idea of Ladybird, the need for more browser engines, even the tooling. But unless people shut up and never criticize him, it's just not enough for you.

    If you think that comment outweighs all the positive impacts Andreas is making, that's your prerogative. I'm not interested in holding everyone up to such high expectations.

    "Don't unnecessarily chum up to homophobes and genocide defenders" aren't high expectations. They're ridiculously low-hanging fruit, considering our history. Absolutely pathetic excusing of his actions.

    Ah yes, because you absolutely must hate and dehumanise everyone who shares a different belief to you. You aren't allowed to speak to or be friendly to anyone who has shared shitty views in the past, because how else could we possibly know that you don't share 100% of their opinions?

    You're free to limit your communication to only those who share your views, if that's what you find comfortable. But there can be many mutually-benefical reasons to befriend those who you dislike.

    Anyway, I'm about done with this conversation, as I don't believe either of us will come out of it with a different view.

    Feel free to get the last word in if that helps you sleep easier. Seeing that you replied to a comment that's almost a week old, I wouldn't be surprised if you do.

    I really hope no one reading thinks this redditor behavior is as cool as the author does. Dude seemingly can't get the point they're arguing against, so this is all that's left, I guess.

    Yeah buddy, this is to sleep better at night. You've shown you're not stopping the high-school tier debate club logic and the goofy-ass mic-drops.

    Mic drop? He was clearly tired of talking with you and you predictably had to get the last word in lol.
    Didn't even have a counter argument.
