I’ll start: while looking at app theming I came across WallRizz, renamed from WallWiz. I haven’t tried it, and looking at it documentation it seems well made, but I cringe at the name and the AI-generated penguin logo. It shares the art style of all the other AI slop, its basically italian brainrot but 2D. WallWiz sounds way better, rizz sounds like it was specially designed for gen alpha (little kids). If there are apps of even similar quality, why would I use this one?
GIMP is a very powerful and important piece of software that I wish they weren’t so obstinate about giving the worst name ever. I know it’s just an acronym, but it is in effect the name of the project. I’ve taken to calling it GNU IMP instead.
For a while there, there was a fork of GIMP that simply changed the name to Glimpse. That was the only one I felt comfortable mentioning in professional contexts.
Some years ago I got in touch with one of the primary maintainers of that fork in the interest of continuing the project after realizing it was so stagnant, and I was essentially warned that doing so would open myself to immense harassment, and that harassment was why everyone involved stopped with the project in the end. So…what is all of this about “if you don’t like X, fork it” if that is what will happen when one does? Seems pretty rotten advice to give if it’s just going to be sabotaged anyway. Someone I know still uses the outdated Glimpse regardless.
Why not Gee-IMP?
Do you have to clarify what you’re talking about often?
No more than can be accomplished with the first sentence of my original post.
Isn’t imp also kind of demeaning to short people?
No.
Thanks
