Where’s the flag for Hannah Montana Linux

[-] Ininewcrow@piefed.ca 28 points 1 week ago

It's way ahead of everyone else and will be the first in the line of fire.

[-] Aedis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Right next to TempleOS

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Plot twist, they were with the axis powers

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 11 points 1 week ago

We fight for the users!

[-] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is there specific war propaganda this is mirroring? Propaganda isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's very helpful in revolutionary resistance movements. Is this mirroring something specific or are you just talking about the aesthetics of it?

[-] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

It's a well-known propaganda poster from WW2.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Union Jack represented multiple times

🤔

[-] whosepoopisonmybuttocks@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

Yes, how did those pesky English manage to add their symbol to all these other flags?

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

British, not English.

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago

Cool. So it's the good propaganda.

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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:

[-] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week 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.

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.

Linux users, united?

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

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week 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.

[-] creature@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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 dirrerent ideas

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

get out of here with your moderate, nuanced viewpoint!

Thank you! I have added your link to the body of my post.

Why is Cent OS there? It's dead.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

But his soul is marching on...

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I worked on United Linux.

It was an over-engineered mess with half its guts ripped out before it was kicked over a fence at us -- SuSE-style 'collaboration'.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

United my ass

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

United in their disdain for windows maybe

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

(openSUSE represented in a meme? What a day!)

Imagine a KDE destroyer (kestroyer?) shattering your Windows from miles away!

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Manjaro and ZorinOs instead of EndeavourOS and Bazzite is criminal.

[-] littleomid@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don’t understand what I’m looking at. Who is carrying the flags? The ship? The planes?

[-] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 1 points 1 week ago

I want a linux phone. I won't replace my Samsung s23 until I can get one.

  • 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.
