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

~~Free~~ FOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

You 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

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

We should call it Fotosshop

[-] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago

Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.

Procreate means to reproduce.

The counterpoint references yhe fact that the GNU version is Gimp which is a term also used to refer to a submissive in an extreme fetish related domain.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

More traditionally it refers to someone with a limp.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

"to procreate" means to reproduce, or breed, in english.

That's what you see?

I think a few Rorschach tests might be in your future.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It’s supposed to be the Gnu logo in a gimp suit (mask)

Because there isn't one. OC is deranged.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

That face doesn't even look remotely like a furry that is closer to a boomerang or an actual wolf than a furry.

There is a cli tool called "the fuck".

When you mess up a command, type fuck and it fixes it for you.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Reading that, and you just know there's a Linux distro that has fucking as an alias for sudo

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

I love fuck! I can never be bothered creating upstream Git branches when I've branched locally, I just type git push and it complains there's no upstream, and then I type fuck and it does it for me.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Set push.autoSetupRemote in your gitconfig and it'll do it first time

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

There is also a zsh-Plugin for the fuck. That way you can just double hit esc and zsh… uhm… fucks… automatically for you

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/

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This is an outrage!

Coq was such an excellent name. Short, memorable, unique, related to its origins and logo, as well as funny.
