This is a vibe code slop fest.

It has been from the beginning.

They’re trying to pass it off as their own work.

It clearly isn’t.

Beep Boop they’re practically a robot

Honestly, I find it gross and sleazy. Even the FAQ acknowledges it's a reference to Pulp Fiction.

It perpetuates stereotypes about boys club computing for one. But more importantly, it makes it just gross to teach it in schools. Like I wouldn't be comfortable using GIMP in an elementary school or high school as a teaching tool in any way.

I remember encountering the software for the first time in highschool and cringing. I was like nope, this is either made by weirdos or dumb people who dont know what words mean. That impression has stuck.

The logo is peak though, no notes.

Procreate is worse though. I hate that its a pun. 🤮

"It was then renamed to the General Image Manipulation Program, and then to the GNU Image Manipulation Program. They referenced a character from the movie “Pulp Fiction” which was trendy at the time."

From the FAQ on the GIMP website someone else posted. It was a reference to bdsm or specifically the Pulp Fiction character.

My European mind cannot comprehend how a word can upset people.

Yet all of the people I've seen complaining about it are USian.

The origin of the name is also the character from pulp fiction, not that definition of the word.

Thanks for your info, I don't need a license anymore ( I researched)

And I am not spamming, I am just posting new updates from D.eSystem. (I post every 2-3 weeks)

Firstly Its not stolen,Limine is a opensource bootloader which I am using for D.eSystem, I will not start from scratch because its not just a experiment. And with D.eSystem 6.2.x I will make a new repo

Amazed and delighted this is still in development.

Make sure you are allowed/have a license for FAT32 (for example, if you ise LFN).

I don’t know the current status, but it was vague the last time I checked.

So... You spammed it often enough for me to take a look.

Your source archive is a mess... It contains local configs, build artifacts (oh well I learned a lot about your system, lol), .git-folders (from other projects) and a shitton of stolen code.

First off, you are based on https://github.com/Limine-Bootloader/Limine or more precisely use it to boot into your kernel, which is taken from other sources, but also just 1:1 snippets from https://github.com/shrike-505/ComputerSystemIII/blob/8c80719e/kernel_XPart/arch/riscv/include/fat32.h (part of a tutorial from https://deepwiki.com/shrike-505/ComputerSystemIII/4.9-file-system:-mbr-fat32-and-vfs-abstraction ). Core components like the c-libs are also just copy-pasted repos (at least using git to clone, so one has the exact ref). There are chinese and german comments in the code, which is also just a mess of hard-coded constants and duplications all over the place. Not even apps like the calc are much orignal, as you also uploaded the inspiration sources you modified in original (well, at least preserving the original sources I guess)?

This is not cool! If you copy code, attribute it. Your license is unmodified and potentially wrong, as you apply it to 3rd party code (which lacks any license, so you cannot just use it in the first place).

Most of the code looks quite well, because it is not yours and just copied from other projects.

Please... Do better? Even I would not think of cleaning this mess up, but instead starting from scratch as it is just such a mess of copy-paste, experiments, random artifacts and... (Binary-)Crap.

Hopefully this will lower the barrier of entry for more people's drones that can take out surveillance drones.

Gimp is one of my all time favorite programs!

This is not exclusively a “USian” thing. This is an English thing. It’s not a very nice word.

It's so sad that USA centrism and prudism has done such a number on that name, and that every time GIMP is mentioned there's always a USian complaining about it. The name is perfectly fine, and nobody in europe or asia finds it bad. In fact, I quite like it myself.

Instead of arguing about a name, we should really be focusing on more important things.

No one except for the devs that could change it can (I think the usual reason is "too much work" which I can imagine it is but ...)

Hmm... Well, its flatpak is still 9.14.0, and for some reason wants full filesystem read/write access.

Barrel rotation?! That feels like black magic to me. How does that work?

This is genuinely fascinating! 🤩🖖🏼

Bookmarked instantly!

😑

You're not fooling me, that's Gandalf!

Add an R for “rebuilt”, bump a major version, call it GRIMP. You’re so welcome GIMP team.

Bonus: on Kagi, GIMP is the 2nd of 16 total results for “GRIMP”. It’s right here people.

You’re right to correct me, I’d forgotten over the passage of time. Not sure if that changes my mind as such but it’s well worth correcting.

I cannot comprehend why it hasn't been renamed yet.

from the very awkward Graphics Image Manipulation Program

I hate to be the Well ackshully guy, but for the record it's GNU Image Manipulation Program
