  • 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.
  • 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.

    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 trailer for the upcoming movie, GIMP: The Movie. The film follows Spencer Kimball (Johnson) as he creates the photo editing application, GIMP, and takes Photoshop head on. Can a free, open source app take down Adobe's capitalistic behemoth? Spencer's internal battle reflects his external fight with the titans of the industry.

    Pork Johnson stars in a potential Oscar turn as the muppet puts it all out there in his portrayal of Spencer Kimball, the founder of the photo editing software, GIMP. Compared to the likes of The Social Network and with a "chilling" and "memorable" performance by Pork Johnson, this movie should not be missed.

    So many people are going to show up to the theater and be disappointed when they realize it's about a software developer!

    It took a few years for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story to go from a fake trailer to the real deal. I have hope!

    Hey man, show some respect. This is serious cinema like Schindler's List and Legally Blonde.

    This has such a "Barbenheimer" composition lol.

    huh I wonder if there's a significant day coming up around which jokes tend to accumulate?

    [–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 2 days ago

    This was posted on here like a month ago. Date has nothing to do with it.

    finally, 15 years after the java movie!

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

    Please tell me this is a joke.

    Also this is too late. Had they done it around ~2000 it might have been more relevant. Or β€œhip” I guess.

    I didn't know I wanted this movie, but here we are.

    Wait we're two days early

    That was unexpectedly pretty great.

    Tap for spoilerI thought it was going to be a serious movie. Then the puppet appeared and I was like okay maybe they are having fun with it. Then the war scene got me.

    Doesn't seem like this is going to be a real thing, but I want it to be.

    Didn't you notice the April 1 release day???

    [–] Vicinus@piefed.zip 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    I didn't see it and can't find it now. ~~Can you point me to it?~~

    Edit: Found it. Small print at the bottom, time: 1:50.

    [–] foliumcreations@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

    That was worth the watch!

    [–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

    I watched it did the second time and it was funny as the first time!
    Amazing job!

    Is this about how the guy in Pulp Fiction turned his life around to do graphics instead?

    With that title, I was expecting Cronenbergian body horror
