Sister communities:


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 don't get it. Why do they leave? Help me. I'm stupid.

    They are not real hitmen, they are just pranking Open source gurus. The idea is that they are so paranoid that they are ready to closed source industry send real hitmen in the night

    It's actually pretty funny when you understand the joke. These XKCD fellas have potential.

    My good man, XKCD is currently on comic #2801. They've been around for well over a decade.

    Oh wow. I saw #2801 but just assumed they were counting backwards from #2850. Looks like you're right!
