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!

    As someone who works in manufacturing this makes prefect sense and wish more instructions were this clear

    How 🀨... tighten, but don't...

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

    Tighten them but tighten them not too much but make sure not to tighten them too less, I guess

    [–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

    Tighten but don't overtighten them, probably.

    [–] variants@possumpat.io 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Like put them in a few threads but don't tighten then yet until you complete the next step

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

    That's "screw them in, but don't tighten them".

    [–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    It means β€œput all of the screws in the holes in order to start guiding the surfaces that you’re screwing together into the correct position, but don’t firmly tighten down all the screw until you have put all of them in so that you can ensure proper alignment of everything before you lock it in.”

    Sure but that's obvious

    [–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

    Yeah, it's fairly obvious to me as well. That's basic assembly procedure, you don't tighten them fully until you have them all in place.

    This manual will just confuse me, I'll just follow the assembly plan without actually reading it 😁.
