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

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 27 points 3 days ago

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.

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

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

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

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.)

Can you change the password prompt to "tell me your safeword first:"?

[-] Skeletonek@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Of course you can

export SUDO_PROMPT="tell me your safeword first: "

[-] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

I do feel a dom/sub relationship with Linux right now as I try to build some flatpaks - so that is very fitting.

[-] Gormadt 4 points 2 days ago

Though I don't know how, I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible.

[-] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Even if it's not possible via some config or shell wizardry, you can always recompile the modified source

[-] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 97 points 3 days ago

I always thought it was a clever sex pervert acronym for

Graphic

Image

Manipulation

Program

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 86 points 3 days ago

And we're pronouncing it JIMP?

[-] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 59 points 3 days ago

YouTube apparently censors "GIMP"

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago

What "Gimp" could stand for?

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 29 points 3 days ago

GNU(not linux) Image Manipulation Program.

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

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 3 days ago

A type of bondage suit

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 25 points 3 days ago

It's also a slur for disabled people.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 13 points 3 days ago

GNU image manipulation program.

One of the very very few times this meme is used correctly. Congratulations!

Bet they couldn’t even find the cli terminal.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago

The clit, for short

[-] anonymouse2@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

I'm just trying give her that system-d.

[-] Abnorc@lemm.ee 26 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 70 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 3 days ago

Coq cowardly renamed their project because of this.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 12 points 3 days ago

IMHO Coq is a much worse name, because everyone knows what a cock is.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

A male chicken?

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.

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

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?"

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 3 days ago

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.
