1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    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?

    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

    [–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 71 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    ~~Free~~ FOSS Utility for Creative Kits Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

    You forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.

    FUCKBOI Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

    it's have to be recursive too.

    I'm So Meta Even This Acronym

    [–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    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

    [–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

    We should call it Fotosshop

    [–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago

    Probably because they never thought to change it to FUCKBOI.

    We shouldn't fuck ourselves to the sensibilities of sterile bullshit corporate AmeriKKKa

    Are you the person who write us law's titles?

    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 1 points 12 hours ago

    More traditionally it refers to someone with a limp.

    [–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

    mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask with a brush in the mouth

    [–] wewbull@feddit.uk 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask

    That's what you see?

    I think a few Rorschach tests might be in your future.

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It’s supposed to be the Gnu logo in a gimp suit (mask)

    Because there isn't one. OC is deranged.

    [–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 day ago

    That face doesn't even look remotely like a furry that is closer to a boomerang or an actual wolf than a furry.

    [–] Geodad@lemm.ee 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

    There is a cli tool called "the fuck".

    When you mess up a command, type fuck and it fixes it for you.

    [–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 25 points 1 day ago (6 children)

    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 10 points 1 day ago

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

    [–] frosch@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

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

    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 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

    This is an outrage!

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

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

    [–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 82 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Hey look at that, you were able to describe the joke.
