There are only so many nouns that start with G. Everyone knows all Linux programs must be a noun and an acronym that starts with "GNU" (which is itself a noun and an acronym that starts with GNU)

DO NOT USE A ACRYONYM FOR THIS UNLESS YOU ARE A PRIDEFUL FILIPINO!!!!

[-] Zink@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

These two joKes just had me laughing unKontrollably at my phone.

KDE is not an abbreviation, and not in the same way than XNA is not an abbreviation. Originally it was the Kool Desktop Environment which was quickly dropped not for the obvious KDE Desktop Environment but K Desktop Environment, which kinda makes sense given that KDE replaces 'c's with 'k' all over the place -- such as, to wit, its name as it's a reference to CDE. Nowadays it's plain KDE though.

GNU Nominal Universalism

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 16 points 2 years ago

When they finish the words with G they can just add another layer of recursion and create BIG, an acronym for "BIG Is GNU". And from there go on like a word chain game

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 110 points 2 years ago

Being free from megacorps let's humans be humans, to express themselves, I love it, the jokes are nice (and are jokes, unlike the nightmare abominations like Clippy and their AIs).

[-] Senseless@feddit.de 19 points 2 years ago

It might be some weird act of masochism but I liked clippy.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Really, huh, that's ... kinda nice to know? (In the 'world is the tiniest bit better than I knew' way)

I have enjoyed various creepy Clippy art/mini lore.
It's basically an SCP thing.

Can confirm.

Source: am Linux diehard and sexual deviant

He forgot about the third category, silly Trans catgirl programmers :3

[-] PotatoKat@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Seems like a redundant category, I believe you can comfortably slot them into the other 2 categories

This is why I use Krita

Which has nothing to do with nerdy sex perverts whatsoever

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 51 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I am afraid to open Krita in public because its mascot Kiki (the robot squirrel girl) is drawn dangerously close to upskirt in the splashscreen.
Krita splash

GIMP's is just mushrooms, nothing objectionable.

GNU's not Unix tool kit image manipulation program. As long as you don't believe Unix actually is an acronym

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 years ago

The name was decided before the acronym, just unfortunate

[-] Titou@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

Also works with packages having their name starting with OPEN or Libre

I don't know if this memory of mine is real, or just a (day)dreaming or my brain just fucks with me, or just too much acid, but I clearly remember lots of years ago I opened GIMP and the splash screen had this fox IN A FUCKING GIMP SUIT!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Probably the very instant mum walks in, too.

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I guess she got used to the sight of drawn animals in gimp suit on my screen by that time

[-] Meuzzin@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Engineers have always been pervs. As evidence, resistor color codes are remembered by:

Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly

As taught in college. In my situation, our professor disappeared mid semester, as he was arrested for child porn, and was the biggest supplier of child porn in Colorado at the time...

[-] ysjet@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_color_code_mnemonics

Pretty much everywhere has cracked down on that kind of thing for a while.

[-] Sidyctism@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

Im almost afraid to ask, but could you explain how that helps remembering resistor colors?

Gnome is fantasy related and gimp is a sex thing
