Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
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 of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
- 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 figures
We 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.
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.

Why was the penguin AI-ed in?
I feel like "This could have been a photoshop" is going to be the "this could have been a meeting" for AI.
Ignore the AI tools in photoshop, every photoshop version after CS6 isn't real.
you guys are using photoshop to make memes?

"This could have been a gimp" sends the wrong message to most people.
Most of the people here would read it and not skip a beat.
Photoshop is also a verb, has been for decades actually, meaning a use of photo editing software in general.
Yes and maybe we shouldn’t continue this verbal standardization of Adobe products. Make people realize there are valid alternatives so they stop giving this corporation a shitload of money
Also saying you GIMPed something just doesn’t feel right
Fuck that, I love my gimp
Bring out the GIMP.
You fuckin' with me, you fuckin′ with a G.I.M.P
GIMP mentioned!
Oh God quickly disperse before gimp gang pulls up
Don't worry. Ask them to draw a circle so we can escape.
lol, my frontend (mlmym) interprets it as an html tag and decides to show nothing (only
<!-- raw HTML omitted -->)?
It's a built-in Gimp texture. It's like the monkey face in Blender. If you see the green pepper in an image, you know the image was made in the Gimp. It's like a cheeky signature/nod.
Because like so much of the IT field, most go for the easier thing to do and don't have or are losing the skills to do these things themselves. A good photoshop is a rarity now, and often will get called AI slop because of it being good, so they don't.
I always do this the shittiest way possible to show how low effort the shitpost is.
Usually that’s a screenshot of a meme generator (so it doesn’t include watermark) or some poorly pasted impact text added on my phone.
Why the fuck have I never thought of that?
How do you know it was not AI-ed out of the original?
This would have made the photoshoot even more interesting than it probably was.
Memevolution
The entire image is AI.
edit: Just look at it, it's obvious. Look at the bottom left corner, shirt merging into a bare leg
Hey! They spent almost 30 minutes in Krita merging the shirt into the leg.
