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)

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.

Make sure you've installed Flatseal from the DisKover Store

[-] z500@startrek.website 9 points 6 months 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

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 18 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months 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.

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

[-] PotatoKat@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months 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 50 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months 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

[-] rxin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 months ago

hold up im pretty sure it's without the "tool kit" part

GTK is the GIMP tool kit

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 23 points 6 months ago

The name was decided before the acronym, just unfortunate

[-] Titou@sh.itjust.works 22 points 6 months 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 10 points 6 months 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 11 points 6 months 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 10 points 6 months ago

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