  • 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.

    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.

    JFC, I'm using it NOW to make a real version! It was a proof of concept use! Y'all are so blinded by hate.

    I am not going to crucify you.

    I will hang you on a comma!

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

    I did not see your comment before I posted my own spelling corrections, you beat me to it

    Happy cake day πŸ™‚

    [–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I like the style and mistakes of the 60s style one. Elemen Tart Os, KaLLLinux, the guitar strings at the headstock

    [–] sqw 1 points 1 day ago

    in this case, the proper human artist would also be hallucinating

    [–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

    Thanks for actual feedback.

    I also like the style, but the concert poster version would be much easier to mock-up in gimp. Though, it looks like most psychedelic concert posters were for single acts, not festivals, as would work best for a lineup of distros. I'll see what happens.

    crucifies you anyway
