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.
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 for professional graphic design at my workplace, nobody gives a shit.
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.
You’re lucky to have IT even know what GIMP is, much less have it officially approved.
Every place I’ve been at was like “what’s that?”
My guess is someone needed it at some point, and jumped through the hoops to get it approved. It has no ongoing cost, so even if it takes staff time to review and set it up in the repository, it would easily pay for itself from not having a subscription. But it would rely on having staff with previous experience to not lose your gains through lost time learning.
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.
I’m sad that more people haven’t seen Pulp Fiction.
You just had to bring it out.
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?

Bet they couldn’t even find the cli terminal.

Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.
Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???
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
sometimes a footprint represents humanity and isn’t about fucking it….
i’m so happy i didn’t get that foot fetish hardwired in… it seems so silly to me…
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
that’s a good point about some cultures seeing a foot the way i would see using a linux distribution with Goatse as a logo….
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…
could be a little controversial… although maybe they should take the swastika back… take away it’s power the way n-——- has changed meaning…
I’m all for Swastika reclamation. Too bad there aren’t a lot of people out there who share that opinion :(
if it was just Nepalese style by nepalese people, it could fly… their version was wavy with a lot of other symbols added on…
i mean, there’s other traditional versions too…
What the fuck i use foot to walk not sex…
It’s a gnome foot though.
Guh-nome
This is the correct pronunciation
It’s true, but I also can’t bring myself to say it!

Yeh I was gonna say, has to be a gnome foot, thats some bookie shaped foot if it’s human.
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.
I don’t understand
dont worry, neither do i
It does check out
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
One of the very very few times this meme is used correctly. Congratulations!
Forever ago(last updated 18 years ago) there was a piece of software I used to identify video codecs and the such…horrible name. Windows apps didn’t escape the terrible naming trend either. I’d just say free software can have some…interesting names.
Blown up icon…
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
Virgin Media would like a word
I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.
I thought Richard Branson just liked sex
His autobiography is called “Losing My Virginity”.
Wouldn’t it be the opposite
YouTube apparently censors “GIMP”
What “Gimp” could stand for?
deleted by creator
A type of bondage suit
GNU image manipulation program.
But what does the GNU stand for?
GNU stands dor “GNU’s Not Unix”
Recusive acronym!
It’s also a slur for disabled people.
Green is my pepper.
