Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Holy shit, this is an old old meme. This image has got to be at least 25 years old

    it's a parody of this poster from early 2000s

    You wouldn't download the means of production!

    You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet!

    [–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    and then go to the toilet in his helmet!

    [–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    And give it to his grieving widow.

    [–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

    And then steal it back!

    Of course tankie-shaming is something the RIAA would do to deter piracy....

    [–] 4am@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    I think it was created to make fun of the RIAA’s campaign back then, I don’t think they actually did it. Kind of like the “NAPSTER BAD” Metallica flash animation.

    I'm pretty sure if I dug into my backup-of a backup-of a backup-of a backup to get to my old files from the 00s I'd find this there. I might have even ironically had this picture on my Zune.
