How can we keep /g/ free from people from /v/?
No idea. Picture made me chuckle.
We could split /g/ into a programming board and a tech consumer board, and have the captcha on the programming board make them fix broken code, and when they do, they can make their post? Just a thought.
Split the board into two, /gl/ for /g-linux/ and /gw/ for /g-windows/.
>>52854840
We turn this board into an Apple shillpost zone for a month until word spreads that /g/ is now a Steve Jobs shrine. All of our posts will be the most ridiculous, fanatical shitposting praises of every single Apple product ever released.
Then we go back to normal shitposting to scare off any Applefags that might have taken our shitposting seriously.
>>52855046
Even if we made a consumer board, nobody would use it. I thought /wsr/ would cut down on tech support and consumer recommending, turns out i was wrong
Ban all of discussion of Windows and video cards (unless for actual GPGPU usage). Also ban all gay-ass "rig" threads.
Windows is a magnet for gamer trash.
>>52855076
It's because all the retards from /v/ think /g/ is their personal tech support board, and because more retards here spoonfeed them instead of telling them to fuck off
Same reason people think /b/ is their personal army
>>52854840

Was about to get mad but then I remembered that I am an anime girl.

>>52855480
Fuckton better than drake threads
Ask the chink for a /cel/phone board. Consumerists only talk about it anyway.
>>52855447
That's what /wsr/ is for
>>52855480
lolol post your speccy xD
Why don't you create another imageboard with only one board so you can ban every fucking Windowsfag and Macfag from there? We are all programmers and admins, after all.
if anything autistic weebshitters seem to be more common than /v/ermin

it's impossible by design, bruh
you talk about boring shit they don't care about.
We already have /wsr/ to contain these cancerous faggots. We just need to figure out a way to get them to fuck off there.

>announcing a report
Are you retarded?
>>52857052
Being a windows user myself I consider this a possible solution to be quite honest. Those smart enough will be able to spoof their user agent anyway. It wouldn't eliminate all shitposting but it would deter a significant amount.
Why don't we create a board only accessible from the command line? Then only the competent will be able to access it
Why don't we just make /g/ only accessible to pass users, admins, mods, and jannies?
There were texboards and you didn't use them.
I lurked them, they were pretty epic.
>>52857410
Those textboards were listed up there. Where are them now, anon?

Whats wrong with /v/?
They are funny guys. I dont mind them coming here
>>52857541
But then how would I discuss the NFL's coin technology?
>>52857512
Gone, they got deleted a while ago.
When visiting the old links I get redirected to a 404.
Which is a shame as I wanted to save some code that was posted there, but then a few days later the board were gone.
That was a stupid decision by the admins, I don't get why they removed them when some people still used them, the boards were ultra slow of course, but still they got visited.
I understand that the admins don't get the concept of time, that's what must have made them think that there were no new posts...
But tripping and surfing the text boards gave new posts with old dates, it's hard to describe tho.
>>52855060
Allow me to interject for a moment, what you are calling /g-linux/ is actually /g+linux/ or how i come to call it gee plas leenoox
/g/ is a difficult board to get into. The /v/ babies are used to posting whatever the fuck they want about whatever shitty game they've been playing. /g/ requires you to actually know some shit. This is why they resort to posting Windows, speccy and GPU threads. They don't have the knowledge to post about anything interesting.
They should lurk for at least a year before they can post.
>>52855046
So you want to make a board that no one would post on?
>>52854840
Report all the threads that break the rule of

>>52855046
>>52855060
there's more to technology than mindlessly shitposting about trivial differences between various operating systems in a home use case and blogging about fizzbuzz-tier homework "projects"
>>52855447
>spoonfeeding some retard from /v/ his next mid-range cookie cutter gayming PC to dick wave in a general is "appreciating technology"
fucking go away you plebeian fucktards, nobody here wants a sekrit klub, they just want a place where they can discuss technology without having to filter a bunch of reddit-tier normalfag blogs, bait and shill threads
>>52854840
>captcha on the programming board make them fix broken code
Thats not /g/ related though, /g/ is about tech related topics, and programming belongs in a separate board if anything....
>>52855283
>Also ban all gay-ass "rig" threads.
As long as that ban includes the retarded desktop/loli posts
>>52858528
/prog/ was a shithole.
But I miss it. In between the thousands of posts of shit, there were occasional gems.
>>52855283
>>52857052
>muh wandows!
Aggressive OS partisan kiddos and all of the tired, stale garbage they've regurgitated since 1996 are worse than even pleb trash like /v/ermin, which at least have the common decency to generally stay contained in show-and-tell generals unless you bait them out.
Your banal console war-tier shitposting should be the first thing on the chopping block.
>>52858593
>But I miss it. In between the thousands of posts of shit, there were occasional gems
Understandable, i couldn't program if my life depended on it.
the thing is. we need to ban the PCMasterRace bullshit from here. and yes that includes PC Gaming in general. theres already a Reddit for that. we dont need it here.
>>52858593

Get that piece of shit Maki out of /g/.
>>52859166
anon is right, many of those /v/ faggots come here so that they could post their desktops into the /daily fucking spam/ thread and then fap over it.
/g/ is about gentoo and RMS.
>>52857572
They may be nice, but they're tech illiterate.
Desktop threads from and for boring people who post the same desktops every single fucking day are neither literates nor interesting and they need to leave.
>>52860415
Not necessarily Gentoo and RMS, but I don't get how you could get anything out of Windows besides games and ricing.
This + Hackintosh propaganda (not sure if retard or rootkit company employee) + Telegram, Microsoft software, and a lot of other shitty software corporate propaganda are a cancer.
/g/ > Mobiles, Consumer Technology and Tech Support
/rg/ (Real /g/) actual technology
Yes I know what actual technology is, do you?!?
>>52855046
If you think about it, programming isn't as much technology as consumer shit is. How about /g/ and /prog/ or whatever?
>>52860905
There used to be a programming board but the austists couldnt handle posting without using pictures
split the board into /g/ - technology and /gc/ - consumer electronics
>>52860928
But anon, consumer electronics are technology.
>>52860947
explain why /v/ was split into /v/, /vr/ and /vg/
>>52860963
Don't know, don't care.
>>52860971
and that's why your opinion is worthless. splitting /g/ is long overdue
>>52860978
Nah, /g/ is just the shitposting board anyway.
Would be very interested in seeing OP's post history.
Lots of fresh /g/ memes to try and fit in no doubt.
>>52860984
You're talking from experience?
>>52861425
Yup.
>>52854840
I also propose we get rid of desktop threads. I mean, really.Who the hell needs them except for the sad people who post there to boost their confidence, thinking they're better because they can configure i3 or whatever is "in" now.
All these opinions about what this board needs and wants...
No OS other than gnu Linux.
No PC games or hardware discussion.
No anime desktops.
No one who likes things I don't personally like
No opinions I find offensive or stupid or uneducated...
Yeah guys you need a special space all to your own where no opinions or thoughts you don't like can get you. No graphics cards or apple products. No non stallman approved ideas... Ya know a space for you...where you can feel safe...
A safe space if you will...yeah that's what this thread wants a safe space filled only with people who agree with you and like everything you like. A safe space where you will be protected from bad ideas and thoughts. A safe space filled with only things you know a best. A safe space where no deviation from your interests is allowed.
In this thread /g/ comes to the crippling realization that its filled with SJW assholes.
>>52861616
We want a safe space to have intelligent discussions about the technicalities of technology without having to sort through cancerous consumer shit threads such as:
DAILY DESKTOP THREAD
ANDROID VS IPHONE
WINDOWS VS MAC
SPECCY THREAD
>>52861858
you want a safe space where your no doubt more intelligent discussion is praised and nobody else is allowed....sounds like something a feminist would say.
look i get it...I do but 4 chan is what it is...perhaps it used to be different on g back in the day but thats not the case now. if that particular brand of discussion is what you're after there are other places and even other chans with cultures exactly like you describe. one in particular springs to mind...go there.
but wherever you go...you do not get to dictate the interests, likes or ideas of others. Get the hell over it.
PS calling someone cancer to shut them up reminds me of the SJW crowd calling people racists and mysogynists. You have alot in common.

Because those people need to go back to their containment boards where they can shitpost consumer reviews and tech support all day every day.
>>52854840
Alright, sensible /g/ users I've got an approach
Whenever I see a /v/ thread, I copy the whole post, start a duplicate thread in /v/. I redirect OP there and OP generally gets proper responses there in /v/.
>>52862583
I like this idea but we would have to do it en masse for it to have any long lasting effect.
>>52860971
/v/ is so shitty that it had to spawn multiple boards and it's still garbage.
>>52860415
>/g/ is about gentoo and RMS
Like hell it is, rms is a degenerate and free software is for cuck traitors. I can't wait till trump bans it.
>>52862727
Then why the fuck are you here, you /v/ spill manchild?
/g/ does not need to be changed.
/g/ needs fucking moderation because it doesn't have ANY
>>52855283
>actually believing this
How does it feel to be a NEET?

This is a technology board.
Just because your life revolves around that fat self confessed jew and his delusional cult like fantasy license that reads like those men scared of their woman leaving so they bully them in to submission doesn't mean technology revolves around it.

This term was created by a movement of corporations that want to limit the freedom of the user while profiting from gratis labor.
>should vidya even be open-source
Every program that runs on your computer should be libre and respect your rights as consumer and computer owner.
>>52864292
Should? Yes. Will ever be realistically on any meaningful scale? No.
>>52864259
/v/ has raided /g/ and they won't leave.
>>52854840
Oh! I get it! Kind of like how at the dump they want certain types of garbage to go one place, and other types to go elsewhere! Fucking brilliant!
>>52864292
Some anon told me Stallman has said once that only the game engine needs to be free, while the assets should be considered art rather than software and do not need to be free.
I don't know if he's actually said that or not but it seems to be the best solution for games to be free software. Making a game totally free is not really viable in the current market.
>>52855060
HAHAHA holy fuck this
we create a new board with a conpletely missleading name that is the actual /g/
I'd suggest /lm/ Lawn Mowing
>>52854840
Why? I've been posting on both /v/ and /g/ for years.
I just don't post /v/ shit in /g/ and vice versa, because I am not a child.

In my opinion /g/ is full of questions and no action.
>should I buy this /g/?
>is this a good build?
>what language should I learn /g/?
I think /g/ would be a lot more interesting if people just stopped asking questions and contributed what they got. Like:
>look what I found!
>look what I made /g/!
>look what this shit can do!
Just my opinion.
>>52864221
>It doesn't run anything
>I can only name video games
>Guess what I use computers for?
Linux can run some software specifically made for Windows. Windows can't run any software specifically made for Linux. At the moment there are more software made for Windows so people don't mind. There's still a difference and the other one is less capable.
>>52861858
this desu
I don't even really give that much of a fuck about tech support, I just want the /v/ blogs, subreddits and retard magnet low hanging fruit threads the fuck outta here, they contribute nothing interesting to the board and have done nothing but turn it into a shittier /pol/ with lame memes and little to no OC
