sometimes, but in GNOME's case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.
Can you imagine a distro made in Nepal, using as its logo a symbol of health, commonly seen patterned into gates and doors, displayed in windows, drawn on streets...
My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.
Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.
And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.
I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.
See, most people have no clue that "gimp" is a sex thing. They just see it as a funny-sounding acronym. In an actual work meeting, the people who do know wouldn't say anything about it to avoid being seen as the weird ones.
I use GIMP at work. It's officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.
I'm pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.
My guess is someone needed it at some point, and jumped through the hoops to get it approved. It has no ongoing cost, so even if it takes staff time to review and set it up in the repository, it would easily pay for itself from not having a subscription. But it would rely on having staff with previous experience to not lose your gains through lost time learning.
Aint good at graphic design but Krita's better anyways, we used it in school, along with PS, didn't really see a difference in either program, tho I was equally shit at using both.
Just trying to debug some weirdness with outgoing activities from my server, looks like it's back to normal since you saw my comment and replied to it ;)
Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.
Or how about 3 naked people in a circle holding hands. And somehow this guy is like one of the least problematic white South African billionaires.
Well, the bar is subterranean

apparently it's also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue

I'm all for Swastika reclamation. Too bad there aren't a lot of people out there who share that opinion :(
and sometimes it is!

Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???????
It's a gnome foot though.
Guh-nome
This is the correct pronunciation
It's true, but I also can't bring myself to say it!
Yeh I was gonna say, has to be a gnome foot, thats some bookie shaped foot if it's human.
What the fuck i use foot to walk not sex...
I always thought it was a clever sex pervert acronym for
Graphic
Image
Manipulation
Program
And we're pronouncing it JIMP?
gust take your upvote and jet out of here
Instrunctions unclear, geeted out.
Ohh fuck no don't start this suit again
Listen here, Legoland, I don't live in the Kingdom of Jondor
Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.
Or "Green Is My Pepper" if you ask RMS...
it stands for GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program....
wait it is GNU is Not Unix is Not Unix Image Manipulation
oh no, they put a recursion in the name!!!
LINUx is not UNIX is not UNIX.
Damn it, they did it again.
oh is that why that brush is in there
GNU Incredible Magic Projector.
If it did circles, it'd destroy half the world.
*GNU Is My Pepper
And originally it was "general image manipulation program".
Gimp
Is
Mangy
Photoshop
I've come to think of it as a (really) good thing - no financially motivated tech megacorp is gonna sell a monthly "sub to Gimp".
(Tho a clothes rental company might.)
Leather clothes, at that.
Its called Harley Davidson
One of the very very few times this meme is used correctly. Congratulations!
YouTube apparently censors "GIMP"
What "Gimp" could stand for?
A type of bondage suit
It's also a slur for disabled people.
GNU image manipulation program.
But what does the GNU stand for?
GNU stands dor "GNU's Not Unix"
Recusive acronym!
Green is my pepper.
Bet they couldn’t even find the cli terminal.
The clit, for short
I'm just trying give her that system-d.
Virgin Media would like a word
I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.
I thought Richard Branson just liked sex
Wouldn't it be the opposite
His autobiography is called "Losing My Virginity".

Coq cowardly renamed their project because of this.
IMHO Coq is a much worse name, because everyone knows what a cock is.
A male chicken?
I'm sad that more people haven't seen Pulp Fiction.
You just had to bring it out.

You're lucky to have IT even know what GIMP is, much less have it officially approved.
Every place I've been at was like "what's that?"

I use gimp for professional graphic design at my workplace, nobody gives a shit.
alias daddy='sudo'Can you change the password prompt to "tell me your safeword first:"?
Of course you can
export SUDO_PROMPT="tell me your safeword first: "I do feel a dom/sub relationship with Linux right now as I try to build some flatpaks - so that is very fitting.
Though I don't know how, I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible.
Even if it's not possible via some config or shell wizardry, you can always recompile the modified source
I don't understand
Gimp is a person who gets sexual pleasure from being hurt or treated badly
dont worry, neither do i

No! I will not ignore this!
