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.

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

hperrin@lemmy.ca · 44 pts · 1y

Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.

TIL I always imagine the guy in the basement of the shop in the movie pulp fiction

ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone · -14 pts · 1y (4 replies)

who was called that because he was mentally differently abled

SpongyAneurism@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz · 21 pts · 1y (1 reply)

How do you come to that conclusion? He was a guy in a full on latex-BDSM suit on a leash, that they kept in a box in the basement.

We don't learn much about his character or mental ability in the movie. It is much more likely, that he was called a gimp in the BDSM sense, that is also mentioned in the Wiktionary entry that was linked here.

ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y

pretty sure that use of the term originated with that exact movie scene.

There's also a point where the gimp tries to speak and it's pretty clear he has at least a speech impediment if not a mental disability.

littleomid@feddit.org · 18 pts · 1y

You mean disabled?

xylol@leminal.space · 3 pts · 1y

I just figured because he was abducted chained and abused in a basement I didn't realize, that makes it even more sad

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.

Buckshot@programming.dev · 12 pts · 1y

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

frosch@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 1y

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

slampisko@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (3 replies)

You can also type git push origin HEAD and it also does that

frosch@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Yeah… but

gp
fuck

Still is less typing tho

slampisko@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

It's less typing but technically it's one more request to the server which you have to wait for to fail before the correct request can be fucked, so it might be faster to do it the correct way from the get-go. Especially if you've done it before and you can just Ctrl+R and find it in the history, or you have a git alias (e.g. git phead)

Zagorath@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 1y

No, your local Git knows the branch isn't tracking any upstream branch, so it never makes a request to the server.

Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

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

Also sorta funny since one of the best drawing apps for iPad is literally called procreate and agreed

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/

kattfisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

This is an outrage!

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

wat?

Hadriscus@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 1y (3 replies)

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

LovableSidekick@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Yeah I get that but the joke seems forced and lame.

NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de · 23 pts · 1y (1 reply)

There is literally a drawing app called procreate. Nothing about this joke is forced, it's just a direct observation.

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

That's important information that I think a lot of us were missing.

Tangent5280@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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.

x0x7@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

More traditionally it refers to someone with a limp.

GIMP doesn't mean anything though (besides for GNU Image Manipulation Program)? Why are you bringing it up?

flamingos@feddit.uk · 73 pts · 1y (4 replies)

Yeah, GIMP is great, but its mask feature is just standout. Google "gimp mask" for more information.

I actually only found instructions on GIMP.
