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
FreeFOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & ImagingYou forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.
This individual for position of authority! I endorse this.
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
Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.
Based, Tbh
We shouldn’t fuck ourselves to the sensibilities of sterile bullshit corporate AmeriKKKa
We should call it Fotosshop
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
I genuinely believe Fedora would be far more popular if it had a different name
M’distro!
At least it’s better than Red Hat.
at least this one’s not an ableist slur, so there’s that!
created an image editor
named it GIMP
mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask with a brush in the mouth

That’s what you see?
I think a few Rorschach tests might be in your future.
It’s supposed to be the Gnu logo in a gimp suit (mask)
I don’t see a mask
Because there isn’t one. OC is deranged.

Reading that, and you just know there’s a Linux distro that has
fuckingas an alias forsudo
Also sorta funny since one of the best drawing apps for iPad is literally called procreate and agreed
Hey look at that, you were able to describe the joke.
Oof it def went over my head than lol
The Gimp is sleeping Well we’re just gonna have to wake him up.
It’s not a motorcycle baby, it’s a chopper. Did you get your blueberry pancakes?
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/
wat?
“to procreate” means to reproduce, or breed, in english.
Yeah I get that but the joke seems forced and lame.
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.
More traditionally it refers to someone with a limp.
What the hell is wrong with GNU Imp? And a little devil mascot? Problem solved.
GIMP doesn’t mean anything though (besides for GNU Image Manipulation Program)? Why are you bringing it up?
Yeah, GIMP is great, but its mask feature is just standout. Google “gimp mask” for more information.
It stands for Green Is My Pepper.
