Yeah I think they're going for something more straightforward that describes exactly what it's about
Brushes, Design, Shapes & Multimedia
To avoid confusion: BDSM, the FOSS formerly known as GIMP
I would not feel comfortable looking this up on a work computer.
Did you feel comfortable searching to learn how to use GIMP?
yes
Not at work. Certainly not.
Or: Graphics, Images, Media & Print
Or else it will be a sub-module.
This would really mess up search results
Yeah, now I'm just gonna get screenshots of this app.
nice one
That would produce so many priceless weirded out faces when you tell someone you love GIMP and use that acronym and they don't know what you are referring to.
