…does anyone not read FAQ section as “fuckyou section”?

To whom? Because “gimp” in any search engine only shows the image editor…

So what’s off there? What are the challenges you had? When one searches “gimp” in any search engine, they only get search results for the image editor. One has to really go out of their way to look into some dictionary to find out the supposed meanings, and even a dictionary does not mention that it’s a slur or anything, unless it’s Urban Dictionary. Which of the meanings is supposed to be the bad one that’s brought up?

And in any case, what would you realistically expect the GIMP project to do? The software is known worldwide for the past 30 years and the name is not a problem in the slightest in any of the non-anglophone countries. Throwing off their name and branding could be a project suicide, the rebrands are risky and I’d say don’t go too well that often.

Thank you.

And I consider these calls to defederation to be a good example of the problems fediverse has at its core. Defederation should be last resort, against instances either fully dedicated to or promoting illegal content, or just unmoderated or spammy.

Suggesting some whole instance should be defederated because they dared to ban people for obnoxious hate speech you’ve cited definitely does not make feddit look like the bad ones here whatsoever. That is my opinion here.

Maybe in America? I can tell you in most of the world, nobody would even think to give a fuck about the name, it doesn’t mean anything. The word “gimp” isn’t even popular enough.

This sounds like some weird copium: surely the app would take off and replace Photoshop long ago, if they just changed that damn name! There was one fork that thought that, with a different name, died shortly after creation. Because in reality nobody cares about the name.

Or: GIMP – it’s kinda like Photoshop, but for free.

Why did OP make it so awkward? And it seems there’s some implication that there was some opportunity there lost by just mere mention of the program, which seems like a big stretch. No need to be that insecure about the software you’re using, the GIMP college garage copypasta isn’t real. There’s a chance they were just curious, got the answer and that was it…

You wouldn’t? I’m so sorry you can’t joke around with your own friends. And it’s on the strangers for eavesdropping, you’re not talking to them.

Unfortunately the combined forces of US and Russian propaganda machines try very hard to ruin it for us, and they see some success in depleting EU membership support in polls and various political unrests

My laptop had UEFI update that fixed the key-up thing and mentioned it allows holding the key in the changelog. So make sure to check for updates if you care

Well funnily enough it was already broken even in Windows 10 half of the time, was pretty infuriating. But with Windows 11 they’ve outdone themselves
