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 see at least two problems here:

    1. Don't pull on the cable, pull on the plug.

    2. Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.

    use UK power sockets it's ever more safe

    The UK plugs, on the other hand, are the only shape of plug known to man that when it's left on the ground the pins always end up turned up, ready and eager to receive any feet not suitably protected by a hard shoe sole.
