what happened to the actual fun in naming programs
like when something ended in "manager" it became
PROGMAN
RENDERMAN
that was much more fun than today's FOSS

"but it's Gnu Image Manipulation Program"

no, it was backronymed into that from the original 1995 name The Gimp following the character from the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction. it's literally a manchild's idea of a funny joke much like the entire rest of FOSS

"i don't think a software being called THE GIMP is hurting disabled people though"

i'm going to make a Free Animated Graphics Generation and Output Transport protocol, or as i like to call it, FAGGOT

i'm sure i'm not hurting any gays

someone needs to make one of those "alternatives to adobe" images but "non-ableist alternatives to gnu imp"
- http://paint.net
- glimpse
- pirated copy of photoshop
- literally anything else jesus christ

heads up if you defend usage of GNU image manipulator program over Glimpse i'm going to block you on personal grounds kthxbye

this must've been like 2003-2004

i can't remember much other about it than they had "main characters" based off that avatar model and even had a drawn webcomic starring those characters, but i can't remember the name and i can't find anything about it anymore. someone please help me find this

when i was younger i remember there being this dutch avatar chat website that looked slightly similar to The Palace in that the avatars were 2D personifications overlaid simply over a photograph, but they had an avatar maker rather than just letting people use any image

is IRC the last bastion of IM that still works in 2022 on a windows 98 machine?

i want to be part of a web 1.0 group, i do not want to be part of a constantly in-fighting marxist collective and sadly the yesterweb is both
