Seriously, Why GIMP Dev(s), Why?? (infosec.pub)

Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

Discord is a terrible name for communication software, unless it's for arguments and disinformation.

Twitter. Not tweeter (which would make a bit more sense), but I suppose it's from "twit", another insult.

Git, also an insult. And then let's call sites GitHub and GitLab.

Names like iPad, ThinkPad, AnythingPad were all criticized for sounding like feminine hygiene products.

Most sites have a FAQ section, which non-native English speakers often read as "fuckyou".

And in russian-speaking countries "eBay" sounds vulgar to begin with.

Twitter

intransitive verb

1: to utter successive chirping noises birds twittering in the trees

2

... a: to talk in a chattering fashion What are those people twittering about?

... b: giggle, titter | A few people twittered at the absurd statement.

3: to tremble with agitation : flutter a hand twittering

I'll give you Discord and Git but the rest feel like stretches.

...does anyone not read FAQ section as "fuckyou section"?

I have always that "Discord" is a pretty spot on based on the vitriolic gamer user base.

And yet they've all been normalized why GIMP is still a sex suit. 🤔

Also agreed eBay is vulgar. So much scam.

To whom? Because "gimp" in any search engine only shows the image editor...
