      sometimes a footprint represents humanity and isn’t about fucking it….

        sometimes a footprint represents humanity

        sometimes, but in GNOME’s case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.

        apparently it’s also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue

      My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

      Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

      And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

      I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.

    I remember someone pointed out that GIMP probably would never get adopted in a company or professional environment just because of the name. Imagine suggesting that someone should use “GIMP” in a work meeting, lol. It’s not necessarily a problem, but it’s a funny limitation that they put on the software.

      See, most people have no clue that “gimp” is a sex thing. They just see it as a funny-sounding acronym. In an actual work meeting, the people who do know wouldn’t say anything about it to avoid being seen as the weird ones.

          IMHO Coq is a much worse name, because everyone knows what a cock is.

      I use GIMP at work. It’s officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.

      I’m pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.

        You’re lucky to have IT even know what GIMP is, much less have it officially approved.

        Every place I’ve been at was like “what’s that?”

          My guess is someone needed it at some point, and jumped through the hoops to get it approved. It has no ongoing cost, so even if it takes staff time to review and set it up in the repository, it would easily pay for itself from not having a subscription. But it would rely on having staff with previous experience to not lose your gains through lost time learning.
