Exactly, it's probably some oldish guy that has decent digital competency and isn't actually qualified, but wants to provide an edge on life for the kids.

Yes, but we were not talking about platform support here. FSF is free to port device support from Lineage do Graphene. There is noone stopping them.

Absolutely that's an issue. But we're not talking about that here. We are talking about a base os from where we can progress. I don't care much for Google phones, even though I must admit they are nice phones. Google can not un-opensource AOSP. They can, to a certain extend, stop open sourcing changes, but that's about it. Doesn't mean we need to follow their os. Also doesn't mean we can't, slowly but surely, develop Android to be more of a Sandbox ontop of a newer Linux kernel than it is right now. Utopian, I know, but if Google stops AOSP developmentz what would we rather do?

Logic is simple: Actually have something 10 years from now.

I mean I don't know which law that would be since the Internet is specifically public. You can film in public too in most places on earth.

Thank you. I get that this can be problematic, but as a non english-native, I don't think it's that big of a deal. GIMP is a transnational project after all and as I understand they try their best to be (all)inclusive. Getting hung up on the very well established name and outright demanding (in another comment), seems a bit silly to me. Were it a more serious slur, one that may be more timely relevant, I would feel the same, but given what I just described, I don't feel that harsh about it.

Very hot take: I actually prefer it having that name, because it can lead to that term not being recognized as a slur by newer generations. When being asked "Whats a gimp?" they might then answer "An image processor.". Would eliminate a whole slur. And with time it might even go so out of fashion it gets eliminated from dictionaries. Instances of this exact phenomenon happening include, in developing order: Dude, Yankee, Nerd. Or if you want a devolvement: Bully, which used to mean sweetheart. Language is like that. Let the slur die.

That aside, I do not feel that Krita is better than GIMP technologically. I prefer both.

Perhaps when the time comes to fork the project we can avoid a slur as a name? That would be nice.

Are you yourself affected by this? Maybe I, as a non affected person, am misjudging.

Help wanted (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I live in the EU and the company I work at has been bought out by an american company. They now want me to sign a document that lets them transfer my personal data from my employer to the USA. They want my Name, full address and birthday. It says that they need this for some "compliance regulation" which includes the prevention of terrorism (the ol' classic). I feel uncomfortable giving them "explicit permission" to share this data even if it is done under "highest possible security measures" which, if they are not possible, might as well be none. I just started my apprenticeship, so they could fire me without providing a reason if I do not sign. Any help is well appreciated.
