We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:
Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
FUCKBOI
FreeFOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & ImagingYou forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.
FUCKBOI Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
it's have to be recursive too.
I'm So Meta Even This Acronym
Like "Wine Is Not an Emulator"
This individual for position of authority! I endorse this.
There was a fork that did nothing but replace the name and graphics to GLIMPSE
The gimp oss community is really fucking rabid about NOT EVER changing the name
Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.
Based, Tbh
We shouldn't fuck ourselves to the sensibilities of sterile bullshit corporate AmeriKKKa
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Are you the person who write us law's titles?
at least this one’s not an ableist slur, so there’s that!
Honest question, what is the ableist slur being discussed?
TIL I always imagine the guy in the basement of the shop in the movie pulp fiction
who was called that because he was mentally differently abled
How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.
We don't learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.
pretty sure that use of the term originated with that exact movie scene.
There's also a point where the gimp tries to speak and it's pretty clear he has at least a speech impediment if not a mental disability.
You mean disabled?
I just figured because he was abducted chained and abused in a basement I didn't realize, that makes it even more sad
wait, it's a synonym of "nerd"? huh.
I genuinely believe Fedora would be far more popular if it had a different name
M’distro!
Like name it after something you don’t grab when you meet someone gallantly
At least it's better than Red Hat.
