Gimp and latex. Risky Google searches
I’ve read that GIMP developers refuse to change the name despite complaints since a long time. A fork of GIMP (Glimpse) is discontinued. Luckily there’s other names in that area :
Are the developers non-native speakers of English?
I was introduced to GIMP in edubuntu before I knew what the word was, so GIMP was GNU Image Manipulation Programme for me and I did not about the issue until I saw it mentioned in some linux communities.
He’s out of line, but he’s right.
Non native english speaker here always liked the sound of gimp in my language, it’s a nice name for me… Probably because I can’t find how to translate it … It gives me something equivalent to small rope ? Btw if someone has a suggested Foss offline android translator would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻 tired of using Google branded one …
As someone who watched Pulp Fiction years before GIMP was created, I am really uncomfortable mentioning GIMP the software in conversation, or suggesting to someone who isn’t familiar with the software to go search for GIMP online.
uh, i think that says more about OPs dad pick those names out of millions of other important utils names with random letters.
