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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    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 remove France.

    [–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Very ironic use of war propaganda, considering that Microsoft's market model is closer to the colonial powers that usually use this format - and the fact that linux often attracts anarchists due to its open, collaborative design.

    [–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (6 children)

    Famously, peaceful movements don't use a lot of propaganda posters.

    Maybe we ask Shepard Fairey to do one for us? Or just some psychedelic 70's concert poster with distros?

    Edit: Don't crucify me for using AI:

    Edit 2: People downvoting, I was using AI as the tool it's meant to be - a quick first draft, proof of concept to sort out ideas. I'm not going to spend hours mocking up both of these for a comment on a meme. I will spend time on one of them, maybe, later. Real human time with 10 fingers and eyes that aren't all squishy.

    crucifies you for using AI

    [–] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

    I am not going to crucify you.

    I will hang you on a comma!

    Or in this case, on the robot's bad spelling.

    Linux users, united?

    People in this community will cry over what init system or desktop environment somebody else uses.

    [–] creature@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

    Yeah, because they have the freedom to even make those choices in the first place, lmao.

    You can be united under democracy and by necessity still disagree over different ideas

    [–] kieron115@startrek.website 3 points 4 days ago

    get out of here with your moderate, nuanced viewpoint!

    [–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

    Listen "friend", I don't take kindly to you critiquing my choice in text editor like that when you've clearly chosen a slightly different one. I think it might be best if you just move along.

    Could you elaborate on what you mean? πŸ™‚

    Yeah! I'll throw an edit to this response later! Just got to an event and the edible just kicked in. Have a great night!

    Why is Cent OS there? It's dead.

    Manjaro and ZorinOs instead of EndeavourOS and Bazzite is criminal.

    Which distro uses this android as its logo? Purple flag.

    That's Tails, and I think it represents a USB-stick with a smiley face.

    Depending on which flag, either Tails or Gentoo

    [–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 4 points 5 days ago

    Tails I think

    not all fight for freedom quite to the fullest of the original ideal ... https://gnu.org/philosophy

    Do you have some examples?

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    The only one I cannot remember off the top of my head right now is the one directly behind Kali. I'm gonna have to check online because I think I know what it is, but I know it's not Whonix.

    Did some looking while writing this comment and can't find it right now, so I'll probably leave an edit when I do.

    [–] addie@feddit.uk 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    The Centos "eight pointed star"?

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

    Yeah. Looks like I completely missed it because DistroWatch has a different logo design without all the colours. Thanks.

    [–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

    Cool. Ill be hanging this in my office today.
