Best name to call it is to just not call it anything. Don’t talk about it. Let it die.

Upvoting a classic. Watch his other talks too. Entertaining and thought provoking.

But it’s Linus so everybody likes to think everything he says is blunt and crass.

I used both for years but always preferred weechat with the nicklist enabled and at the top, so that it didn’t break urls or selecting multi-line text. Although the nicklist feature is moot for huge irc channels the ui and user experience is overall better with weechat in my opinion.

problem is the late stages of the game the password requirements change when your password’s emojis start catching fire.

I was giving a nod to Alan Cooper’s book “The Inmates Are Running the Asylum”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44098.The_Inmates_Are_Running_the_Asylum

The inmates are running the asylum.

Same reason tiktok and instagram reels are overlaid with that dumb wheezing laugh track.

Most people here (who didn’t grow up in the US 50+ years ago) wouldn’t give negative connotations to the software’s name. I’m on the side that it is well divorced of an ableist meaning but that’s where the disagreement lies and some people are making a big fuss over.

Should we stop using words like taser and amok as well for having historically racist associations despite being divorces of those meaning? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift_and_His_Electric_Rifle

Our language is littered with more “land mines” that we realize if we want to make land mines out of them.

Do you have evidence of that? That’s not what I saw: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-gimp-will-you-change-it

I don’t like the name GIMP. Will you change it?

With all due respect, no. We’ve been using the name GIMP for more than 20 years and it’s widely known. The name was originally (and remains) an acronym; although the word “gimp” can be used offensively in some cultures, that is not our intent. On top of that, we feel that in the long run, sterilization of language will do more harm than good. GIMP has been quite popular for a long time in search engine results compared to the use of the word “gimp”. So we think we are on the right track to make a positive change and make “gimp” something people actually feel good about. Especially if we add all the features we’ve been meaning to implement and fix the user interface. Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name “GIMP”, you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program or exercise your software freedom to fork and rebrand GIMP.

WARS to my fellow Colemak users.

For some reason I first read the title as “journalists take to archiving their own hands” and thought this was some morbid kind of protest.

I think it’s saying you start with owo but then do the vertical equivalent of that emoji which would be :3 then 13 I guess is the eyes are closed? That’s the best I got.

Very cool! I like how changing either variable gives you a completely different pattern. Though not the same idea here’s another fun one: https://codepen.io/josetxu/pen/mdoaKEr

diarrhea of the mouth but for the anus… so diarrhea?

That thumbnail is cropped just the right way to where Tom Hanks appears to have a cue ball.
