minus-squareBoyetLeonantus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·12 hours agoThe Image Manipulation Program Formerly Known As Gimp, or TIMPFKAG It’s the perfect name: Pronounceable, unique i.e. searchable, and a silly abbreviation. Nobody could object to that.
minus-squareSavvyWolf@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·20 hours agoYeah, GNU IMP. Recognisable and easy to understand for those familiar with the old name. WLBR just seems like people being clever for clevers sake.
