  • GIMP rebranding as WLBR?

    Jump

  • Do we have any actual documentation of anybody who might be called a 'gimp' actually being offended by the name?

    You want documentation that gimp is offensive? Go call your boss a gimp. They’ll give you some documentation. Feel free to share it here.

    Gimp does not refer to people with movement disabilities. It stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.

    Pretending to not understand when an acronym spells a word is a new one to me. Maybe you should be writing bill names for congress.

    Or is this just more performant bullshit?

    I dunno about you, but last time I used it, gimp was pretty performant.

    See? That’s me intentionally misunderstanding something obvious in order to ignore a point you’re making. See how transparent and ineffective it is?

  • I hope they really commit to this. Keep gimp as an option for the obstinate among us, but make wlbr the default. Gimp is, even to people who don’t recognize it as a slur, an informal and rude word and it makes it hard for people who already don’t care about open source to not just dismiss it out of hand when they hear that name.

  • I have been a staunch advocate of open source software at my company and I promise you the vast majority of people do not know what gimp is.

  • How are you supposed to handle going to the doctor if you have a long back log of Issues

    Jump

  • Explain that you haven’t been to a doctor in 10 years and that you need help prioritizing your concerns. That gives them the necessary context and still acknowledges their expertise so it doesn’t seem like you’re just insisting you have a bunch of things that need diagnosed for you to be satisfied. It also makes the work more bite sized and they can help you decide how to schedule what when and what needs a referral and all that.

  • Do guys that cat-call women actually think that women like that stuff or is it that they are like bullies who take pleasure on heckling people to annoy them like in middle and high school?

    Jump

  • It’s always seemed like negative attention seeking to me. Pretty much bullying with the facade of “compliments”

  • Is it a distribution problem if the owning class has actively prevented their global-scale logistics systems from being applied in a way that would benefit the poorest of the poor? Amazon and Walmart have the technology, resources, and knowledge to feed everyone in the world. It’s a solved problem. The problem is with who owns them and therefore who makes decisions about their operation.

  • It reminds me of how nursing homes are operated. I know so many people whose grandparents’ homes got sold to pay for their nursing home bills. My grandma went into a nursing home with a need for PT, but otherwise fully independent. She was supposed to get out in like a month. They just kept lengthening her stay. Turns out she got there, they almost immediately declared her bed bound, and put her into a room alone. By the time we pulled her out because they were trying to admit her indefinitely, she could barely talk and she never walked again. I don’t think she was even getting her PT. But she gained her ability to talk back and boy did she have some shit to say about that place.
