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.
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 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….
and sometimes it is!
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
It’s a gnome foot though.
Yeh I was gonna say, has to be a gnome foot, thats some bookie shaped foot if it’s human.
shortstack foot fetish with a little bit of dom sprinkled in
Guh-nome
This is the correct pronunciation
It’s true, but I also can’t bring myself to say it!
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
Wouldn’t it be the opposite
YouTube apparently censors “GIMP”
What “Gimp” could stand for?
GNU(not linux) Image Manipulation Program.
Its all rolled into GIMP, kinda like someone zipped up a suit. Oops.
A type of bondage suit
It’s also a slur for disabled people.
GNU image manipulation program.
But what does the GNU stand for?
GNU stands dor “GNU’s Not Unix”
Recusive acronym!
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!!!
LINUx is not UNIX is not UNIX.
Damn it, they did it again.
GNU Incredible Magic Projector.
If it did circles, it’d destroy half the world.
oh is that why that brush is in there
*GNU Is My Pepper
And originally it was “general image manipulation program”.
And we’re pronouncing it JIMP?
Listen here, Legoland, I don’t live in the Kingdom of Jondor
gust take your upvote and jet out of here
Instrunctions unclear, geeted out.
Ohh fuck no don’t start this suit again

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.
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.
I’m sad that more people haven’t seen Pulp Fiction.
You just had to bring it out.
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.
Bet they couldn’t even find the cli terminal.
The clit, for short
One of the very very few times this meme is used correctly. Congratulations!
I don’t understand

No! I will not ignore this!
G’day! How’s it going?
Just trying to debug some weirdness with outgoing activities from my server, looks like it’s back to normal since you saw my comment and replied to it ;)
“Are my texts still coming from my email?”
Nice! Good luck with your server there mate.
Glinux
