Someone Forked GIMP into Glimpse Because Gimp is an Offensive Word
#1
Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile
While checking itfoss.com bumped into this article https://itsfoss.com/gimp-fork-glimpse/ Excertp:
Quote:If you are wondering why these people find the work GIMP disagreeable they answer that question on the About page:

“If English is not your first language, then you may not have realised that the word “gimp” is problematic. In some countries it is considered a slur against disabled people and a playground insult directed at unpopular children. It can also be linked to certain “after dark” activities performed by consenting adults.”
What do you think? I find it "overreacted" and unnecessary. GIMP works great.
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us Smile

Totally overreacted. I don't find it insulting at all.
I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux Smile
