Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.
My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.
Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.
And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

sometimes a footprint represents humanity
sometimes, but in GNOME’s case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.
apparently it’s also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue

Can you imagine a distro made in Nepal, using as its logo a symbol of health, commonly seen patterned into gates and doors, displayed in windows, drawn on streets…

I’m all for Swastika reclamation. Too bad there aren’t a lot of people out there who share that opinion :(

Or how about 3 naked people in a circle holding hands. And somehow this guy is like one of the least problematic white South African billionaires.
Well, the bar is subterranean

Yeh I was gonna say, has to be a gnome foot, thats some bookie shaped foot if it’s human.
I always thought it was a clever sex pervert acronym for
Graphic
Image
Manipulation
Program
Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.
Or “Green Is My Pepper” if you ask RMS…
it stands for GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program…
wait it is GNU is Not Unix is Not Unix Image Manipulation
oh no, they put a recursion in the name!!!
oh is that why that brush is in there
GNU Incredible Magic Projector.
If it did circles, it’d destroy half the world.
alias daddy='sudo'Can you change the password prompt to “tell me your safeword first:”?
Of course you can
export SUDO_PROMPT="tell me your safeword first: "Though I don’t know how, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t possible.
Even if it’s not possible via some config or shell wizardry, you can always recompile the modified source
Virgin Media would like a word
I’ve come to think of it as a (really) good thing - no financially motivated tech megacorp is gonna sell a monthly “sub to Gimp”.
(Tho a clothes rental company might.)
Leather clothes, at that.
Its called Harley Davidson
I remember someone pointed out that GIMP probably would never get adopted in a company or professional environment just because of the name. Imagine suggesting that someone should use “GIMP” in a work meeting, lol. It’s not necessarily a problem, but it’s a funny limitation that they put on the software.
I use gimp for professional graphic design at my workplace, nobody gives a shit.
Aint good at graphic design but Krita’s better anyways, we used it in school, along with PS, didn’t really see a difference in either program, tho I was equally shit at using both.
I use GIMP at work. It’s officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.
I’m pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.
See, most people have no clue that “gimp” is a sex thing. They just see it as a funny-sounding acronym. In an actual work meeting, the people who do know wouldn’t say anything about it to avoid being seen as the weird ones.
Coq cowardly renamed their project because of this.
IMHO Coq is a much worse name, because everyone knows what a cock is.
A male chicken?
I’m sad that more people haven’t seen Pulp Fiction.
Glinux
YouTube apparently censors “GIMP”
What “Gimp” could stand for?
It’s also a slur for disabled people.
A type of bondage suit
