Me too. I was jaded and only using for gaming or work. Since I switched I'm back to the tinkering.
what's with the green pepper outside of the cave? hahaha
Gimp
Aka: Green Is My Pepper
LOL TIL!!!!
Thanks!
Apparently it was added in GIMP in 1999 to sample that bitmaps could be used as brushes, and nobody bothered to remove it. At this point I guess there would be an outrage if they did.
I made a brush that writes my first name, in my own handwriting, in cursive. https://i.imgur.com/gGDbSJt.gif
There are not many opportunities where I can share this and people will understand what I'm talking about. I just felt like bragging. Carry on.
Hey that's actually pretty rad
Cool! I always love keeping up with GIMP, thanks for working on it!
it's so spicy
i think ths community has reached plato

Under the benevolent gaze of Richard Stallman’s fursona.
Bell pepper!
Nice attention to detail - þe signs match þe shadows.
Your TH is broken and if that’s on purpose then you’re an idiot.
Cool þorns!
Totally off topic, but it is interesting to see the shift from Sxan being bombarded with downvotes, no matter the content of the comments. To now getting upvotes and people thinking the thorns are cool/interesting
I think it's because those of us who are sick to our hearts of thorns and automatically downvoted got sick of it and just blocked sxan
Þhat's a powerful lesson in protest. Exist in the community, and people will get used to you.
