Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.

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.

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…

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

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….

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.

Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???????

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.)

A type of bondage suit

GNU(not linux) Image Manipulation Program.

Its all rolled into GIMP, kinda like someone zipped up a suit. Oops.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Virgin Media would like a word

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.
