Repost of a meme I made a few years ago for Reddit that I have since deleted. Hope it still has value.

Kudos on spelling boyfriend wrong twice but then the third time you nailed it!

I like GNU Image Manipulation Programm stamp in corner. I upvote.

In the middle of all the gimp naming controversy, if there's a name I would stick to with ease, it would be something involving the green pepper.

"Controversy"

Gimp as been around for 26 years. You probably should've complained in 1998

Was probably not aware of it b

Though, as a non-native speaker of English I was first introduced to the word through Edubuntu.
So, GIMP = GNU Image Manipulation Program for me before I learnt any other meaning

Huh?

~~Cabbage~~ Pepper on top left

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Uhm thats a pepper and why is that a GIMP thing?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

For whatever reason, GIMP includes this image of a green pepper as a built-in brush.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Lol, thanks for that info

Well at least I’m better than her other other boyfriend so I’ve got a chance!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I was gonna say, holding Chrome OS above Windows because its Linux based is bizarre. That's getting more true about Android, too. For all its faults, I can still say I'm the admin of my Windows OS (for now), and not Google.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Admittedly this is where the meme kind of breaks down.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

You

I feel personally attacked.

Maybe we can dualboot in the closet 👉 👈

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.
