KhrysRT if you want a CLEAR statement about AI from all GNU/Linux distributions and are ready to quit any distribution that is ok with integrating AI slopware.
dallo@Khrys
Since I read that systemd is going to include slop, a lot of them is concerned
@Khrys
Btw if you didn't see it yet, there is a list of projects that pledged not to use AI or are disrupting it https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html

GoodNewsGreyShoes🔞(on hiatus)Still blows me away that *thirty years* of pushback hasn't been enough to convince the community maintaining GIMP that naming their software after a common ableist slur - for no good reason - was a bad idea that severely hampers its growth, engagement, & accessibility, not only back then, but even now & ever onward.😮💨
I hate that the discomfort of admitting they were wrong matters more than the pain their choice caus[ed/es].😞
@GoodNewsGreyShoes @dallo @Khrys
Must confess I wasn't aware of the term as an ableist slur - I thought the list compilers were just bashful about its BDSM meaning.
zbrown@only_ohm @GoodNewsGreyShoes @dallo @Khrys and in fairness I've never seen anything to contradict the oft stated origins in Pulp Fiction, so it wasn't ‘named for’ in that sense, I'm also really not sure how common the word is, nevertheless it is ridiculous that the name persists, it's just not a good name and many people have perfectly reasonable objections, time to move on.
@zbrown @only_ohm @dallo @Khrys I have no reason to doubt that the software was originally named as a reference to the BDSM scene in Pulp Fiction. Makes sense & seems plausible, to me!👍
My claim that the software was named *after* the slur was simply an awkwardly-worded attempt to indicate that 'gimp' had been used as an insult in the US for many, many years before the software or Pulp Fiction existed.
