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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Was that quickly enough?--

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Thank you, now we just wait ...

    They're onto it already with a few apps surprisingly...

    Windows when?

    [–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I know, but like imagine they pivot their full business model to foss.

    Step 1: Release cool FOSS apps and gain popularity.

    Step 2: The apps are still FOSS, but now most of the cool features are actually proprietary and running on the company's servers. <--- we're here right now

    Step 3 (soon-ish): "Since our customers love our proprietary features so much, we're no longer maintaining our FOSS version. Subscribe to our new pro subscription to continue accessing the apps"

    Honestly MS doesn't even both hiding the fact that they want to you to use Windows so they can sell you subscriptions to proprietary software and the cloud.
