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”
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
This individual for position of authority! I endorse this.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Are you the person who write us law’s titles?
I genuinely believe Fedora would be far more popular if it had a different name
M’distro!
At least it’s better than Red Hat.
Like name it after something you don’t grab when you meet someone gallantly
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.
created an image editor
named it GIMP
mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask with a brush in the mouth
is open source community okay?
“stable?”
that’s for debian
mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask
That’s what you see?
I think a few Rorschach tests might be in your future.
It’s supposed to be the Gnu logo in a gimp suit (mask)
I don’t see a mask
Because there isn’t one. OC is deranged.
That face doesn’t even look remotely like a furry that is closer to a boomerang or an actual wolf than a furry.

I love fuck! I can never be bothered creating upstream Git branches when I’ve branched locally, I just type
git pushand it complains there’s no upstream, and then I typefuckand it does it for me.Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it’ll do it first time
There is also a zsh-Plugin for the fuck. That way you can just double hit esc and zsh… uhm… fucks… automatically for you
You can also type
git push origin HEADand it also does thatYeah… but
gp fuckStill is less typing tho
It’s less typing but technically it’s one more request to the server which you have to wait for to fail before the correct request can be
fucked, so it might be faster to do it the correct way from the get-go. Especially if you’ve done it before and you can just Ctrl+R and find it in the history, or you have a git alias (e.g.git phead)No, your local Git knows the branch isn’t tracking any upstream branch, so it never makes a request to the server.
Reading that, and you just know there’s a Linux distro that has
fuckingas an alias forsudo
Also sorta funny since one of the best drawing apps for iPad is literally called procreate and agreed
The Gimp is sleeping Well we’re just gonna have to wake him up.
It’s not a motorcycle baby, it’s a chopper. Did you get your blueberry pancakes?
I remember there was an effort to rename Coq, it turned out… well? https://rocq-prover.org/
As for git… https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/git It doesn’t seem it would be renamed… However, got seems to be quite a nice acronym: https://gameoftrees.org/
This is an outrage!
Coq was such an excellent name. Short, memorable, unique, related to its origins and logo, as well as funny.
coq_nvim exists with that name too
yet it’s GIMP YouTube decides to censor
What the hell is wrong with GNU Imp? And a little devil mascot? Problem solved.
