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.

    tar --help should be valid, right?

    ~~Ten seconds to fully comprehend the help lines and execute it on the first try.~~

    ~~There is a reason I have macros for that.~~

    Edit: Oh wait. ANY Tar command... Clever solution

    [–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

    tar -help

    People in the comments seem to be confused. "Archived" as in compressed to a tarball, or "archived" as in no longer maintained?

    [–] Waffelson@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

    Second, I thought all linux users find software at github like me But when I was linux newbie, even tar archives were hard to open

    [–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

    Or they are just joking. That's how it looks to me anyway.

    [–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 29 points 8 months ago (3 children)

    that feel when you use gnome and the extension you need is incompatible with your newer version and turns out to be no longer maintained 😢

    [–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 3 points 8 months ago

    And then there is this Pull Request that could just be merged and released, but the maintainer didn't even look at it and you have to install it manually from git.

    Good news btw.: One that I desperately needed got upgraded yesterday and now works with my Gnome version.

    [–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Some projects achieve total perfection and require no more support. No, I can't name any.
