Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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.

Spit on that thang

Closed source is more secure because the viruses can't see where to get in.

This is why I stick to TempleOS, the only biblically accurate OS. With the power of God and high octane schizophrenia, I'm completely safe.

The main reason why MacOS has less viruses is that it's even more than that. Want to run programs not from the app store? Hope you like a convoluted set of settings you have to go through to install that in the first place.

The second main reason is the constant obsolescence of API.

They can actually

Nonono, imagine a house. But instead of doors it had no doors.

That's why Windows is so insecure. Since viruses can use the windows as doors.

woosh

I'm late and this will get buried, but this really speaks to the difference between the open source / ESR / OSI ideology and the free software / RMS / GNU ideology.

Open source ideology says it is better because it produces better software. If MacOS X was closed source and better it serves as a repudiation of that ideology.

Free software ideology says it is better because denying users any of the four freedoms is an immoral act. If MacOS X was proprietary software and better, it would still be immoral to deny users their freedoms; the ideology is not impacted.

Just how do we define our metric for best Unix? Cuz it certainly isn't freedom if Apples winning any awards.

[–] highball@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

It's definitely not comparing Server performance because OSX Server flopped in the early 2000's.

Lol this comment section is on fire. Irony died in 2015.

People like a good flame war 🤷

Just because one understands trolling doesn't mean it can't be fun to discuss the things the troll brought up.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Especially when it's cold outside.

Where's the fire ?

Thank you, you made a buncha nerds angry and now they're fighting in the comment section >:(

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Agreed. Thank you, but sincerely.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 12 points 1 week ago

I guess we have different definitions of what "best" means.

What's a computer?

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I still remember the iPad ad where this quote was mentioned and it... idk, it definitely feels a bit weird to me. I'm probably guessing there will be more people who will wonder what a computer is in the future.

And that ad was from before iOS 11. I'm serious.
