  • 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.
  • 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.

    Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.

    [–] jonne@infosec.pub 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Or how about 3 naked people in a circle holding hands. And somehow this guy is like one of the least problematic white South African billionaires.

    sometimes a footprint represents humanity and isn’t about fucking it….

    i’m so happy i didn’t get that foot fetish hardwired in… it seems so silly to me…

    [–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    sometimes a footprint represents humanity

    sometimes, but in GNOME's case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.

    apparently it's also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue

    [–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

    that’s a good point about some cultures seeing a foot the way i would see using a linux distribution with Goatse as a logo….

    My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

    Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

    And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

    Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???????

    Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.

    I've come to think of it as a (really) good thing - no financially motivated tech megacorp is gonna sell a monthly "sub to Gimp".

    (Tho a clothes rental company might.)

    YouTube apparently censors "GIMP"

    Screenshot of PewDiePie introducing GIMP, presented by Brodie Robertson

    [–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (5 children)

    What "Gimp" could stand for?

    [–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 1 month ago

    A type of bondage suit

    [–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 27 points 1 month ago

    GNU(not linux) Image Manipulation Program.

    Its all rolled into GIMP, kinda like someone zipped up a suit. Oops.

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 26 points 1 month ago

    It's also a slur for disabled people.

    Virgin Media would like a word

    [–] raltoid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.

    Can you change the password prompt to "tell me your safeword first:"?

    [–] Skeletonek@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Of course you can

    export SUDO_PROMPT="tell me your safeword first: "
