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).

I was part of a coding bootcamp, and one day the class was talking about git. Somebody mentioned that "git" is also a word used as an insult, like "That guy is a total git". When I revealed that was where the name came from, several students audibly gasped, and a couple said something like "Oh, how embarrassing!" I had the weirdest sense of culture shock, and I had no doubt those students would make very good corporate drones.
I heard that Linus named it git because he is one.
That's what I heard, too. He has a habit of naming his software projects after himself: Linux, git.
wait until part 2 of git class where they use the MASTER branch
It's main branch these days (at least that's the new default for new repositories)
Yeah it’s weird how computers are still so grounded in weirdo cultures but because everyone has to use them and they’re the foundation of modern society and economy these people often run into something they aren’t prepared to deal with whether it’s copy left and the open source movement or it’s terminology and naming with an irreverent flair.
This is also how you wind up with me casually talking about linux and home servers with a bunch of anarchists as we fix up old bikes while I know engineers and tech chasers who are scared of such things.
Embarrassing for who?
For them, I guess. I can imagine some folks would be embarrassed to tell people that they use GIMP for the same reason.
It might be some weird act of masochism but I liked clippy.
The open source game framework Löve (Love2D) has some incredible library names, here's a few select ones out of context:
- Hump
- Lövetoys
- Löve Bone
- Quickie
- Goo
- Pölygamy
- Swingers
- Adult Lib
- Gspöt
- Möan/Talkies
- fLUIds
- Yaoui
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!!!!
These two joKes just had me laughing unKontrollably at my phone.
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!

And Trojitá (the email client) was written by a Czech. It means “triple” in Czech, and Czech Republic is famous for porn.

Don't look that up on LemmyNSFW.com
GNU's not Unix tool kit image manipulation program. As long as you don't believe Unix actually is an acronym
GNUTKIMP
It's a recursive acronym so it could expand indefinitely into GNUNUNUNU...TKIMP, similarly to wineineineine... or Benoît Benoît ... B. ... Mandelbrot Mandelbrot. Like a ZIP bomb, never try to expand it fully.
This is why I use Krita
Which has nothing to do with nerdy sex perverts whatsoever
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.
GIMP's is just mushrooms, nothing objectionable.
I've been there, at work no less
it's giving vaporeon vibes too
Her look varies by artist. She is usually whiter and not as apparently robotic. There is a reference design but it's not really official. More info
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...
Im almost afraid to ask, but could you explain how that helps remembering resistor colors?
