@jernej__s @thetacola ok

@wildweasel it's been my saviour every time i've need a character name for something for the past several years

hey check out the Netizen Club Link Cache https://links.netizen.club/

@Stinkie they defend this one by saying "oh it was just an unstable development release, not meant to be seen if you're on the stable channel" but like, isn't that the point of rolling releases vs "archaic" distros like Debian?

@thetacola and in case you think there is no possible linkage between gnu image manipulation program and bdsm (which i am fine and in favour of, just not the slur) this is the splash screen for version 2.7.2

@thetacola gnu (formerly general) image manipulation program was originally named for the pulp fiction character "the gimp" who is named after the gimp suit they wear which is a bdsm accoutrement named after a slur aimed at physically disabled people

you can corroborate any of this through your own research

@acb but "it's just that computer science is a highly technical field that isn't fit for women... no no don't look at historical archives when most programmers were women before the profession even had a proper name, we don't need to study that"

@mym no no see all it means is GNU (not general, not anymore!) image manipulation program!! it's inoffensive and you're triggered for no reason, i swear!!!

@vekkq last i heard google didn't name either of those pieces of software but also i invite and arch-bros to come at your for conflating android and arch!!!

computer fairies is literally slowing down because of me. lol sorry

i think if as something as big as the Major League Baseball team Cleveland Guardians can change their name an image, there is no reason why The Second-rate Alternative To Adobe Photoshop can't

oh fuck a hit tweet

"but mavica you are conflating way too many different groups and distributions under a single 'linux' umbrella!" isn't that the point? when was the last time you heard of an 'archlinux' marketshare against an 'ubuntu' marketshare?

linux will do so much better when they excommunicate stallman and their followers from their ranks

linux: y no women in our spaces ????? :( :( :(

also linux: our preferred softwares are bitchx, gimp and something with an abortion joke in the official documentation
