1. Follow the site-wide rules

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 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.
    • 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 figuresWe 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.

    The typical Font, the typical drawing style

    It is generally

    • not a known meme template
    • not a „normal” font style like impact, used by most no effort memes

    --> pretty big effort

    • maybe artist?

    --> no Mark, not known like xkcd, pizzacake, cyanide and happiness (which would have been most likely)

    • pretty typical AI font style, weird curly but at the same time straight font
    • also the outlines remind me really much of AI slop
    • If anyone might have drawn it, the monitor and desk would have stayed the same. If they wanted to do it in a more obvious way that these are 2 different people, they would have added more of a color and/or person differentiation with clothing or other desks. Instead the image is copied and pasted 95%, except for small, usually not noticable changes like the corners of the image. This is generally how AI images look using the same input, only having the random parameters that are usually inserted into the image generator change.

    Example: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages7.memedroid.com%2Fimages%2FUPLOADED376%2F682890dbbb792.jpeg&f=1&ipt=3032bec4888b9d3ab4e463817228193fbafadfae16e936ada2a07d16a760bf4f

    Its literally the same line thickness

    Also, random notes: Thought bubble looks really like AI, nonsense Terminal commands consisting of a mix of Ubuntu/Debian default bash and sh??? (sh usually only has a $)

    The template „AI vs no need to update” generally has nothing to do with each other, and is generally just the stuff regurgitated by just about every YouTube channel by now; unlike most Linux users memes, which ranges generally in more niche topics

    • Windows AI, Forced updates
    • Linux no AI, Terminal, Debian commands

    Also, as https://lemmy.world/comment/21278707 @AeonFelis has pointed out, the image is 5mb big.

    Also, a resolution of 2816x1536 is not normal

    Almost just like it is not normal for such an image not to be tagged by your Graphics Program that you used to make it

    TL;DR: this is what happens if you ask grok to make a Meme about Linux and windows from the meaning depth to the weird art

    Check out the other great dissection

    And the fact you are even denying it, yet posting the most obvious slop, makes it even funnier

    Might add to it later, but I think if you already read this, you might as well look at the PIC and my example and decide for yourself
