Or anyone that gets deliveries. Some vehicles have open wifi networks.

It’s not about the software. It’s about creating a far right pipeline. Like they did with gamers and anime. Billionaires pay for users.

Defeatism. Defending public spaces is important

Helix is amazing anyway.

They don’t actually understand what Nazis or fascism even are. They treat it all like a weird sports team thing where everything is just a derogatory word for things you don’t like. They’ll never see they are the bad guys. Not capable of it or they wouldn’t be this way to begin with.

Woke Mind Virus Linux.

Rich assholes want to capture more nerds to get them in their right-wing influence sphere. Cause there’s no other reason a bunch of fascist pricks would pay 8 million for glorified scripts.

This is shockingly ignorant of how design actually works. The enshitification you see today is purely because of executives demanding their designers and devs jump on every new buzzword the shareholders learn this quarter.

How would changing the name make it more awkward? Giving up a huge market for no reason other than old nerds crying about a change.

And because it’s consistent. Gimp’s tools are random as all hell. It’s not just different, other tools have been designed by actual designers while Gimp’s community has been shooting them down for years. Leaving a confusing mess where shortcuts and tools have no obvious hierarchy or flow.

It’s cool it works for you but there is a reason everyone is able to learn Blender, Photoshop, Capture1, Resolve, Darktable, Krita, etc and suddenly get enraged at Gimp. I can’t think of any other project that gets this hate constantly. Darktable UI is rough too and the vibes are completely different. The Gimp community is toxic as fuck to criticism and it’ll be a miracle if there is anyone left willing to spend their precious time providing feedback. I’d love to see that change but I think as we see in the comments that many have moved on.

But for millions of people it is… the fact that it isn’t for some cultures does not negate the influence for those where it is. Companies like Apple will skip numbers and names if it’s a problem in one place (like say China) because they realize more adoption is useful. Old Gimp heads though just whine about America or some shit and wonder why nobody fucking uses it after 30 years.

Everything about this project is always saying they’re looking for input and design ideas but their old-ass users shoot down every person that has anything to say, many of whom have ideas from working as actual professionals for those same thirty years.

Kids would eat you alive.

Is there a guide somewhere for this?

Don’t buy things from scumbags.
