@DrewNaylor @256 Or maybe 10, for discovering that it cannot handle any more 😆

Successor to #Nouveau for #Linux and... #HaikuOS (yay!)?
I sure hope #Wayland works with it just fine, unlike Nouveau (at least on my #Nvidia 1660 TI).

@admiralwonderboat This is one of the reasons I haven't tried listening to YouTube at night 😆

@256 I legitimately tried this on #Windows7, half the screen but with auto-hide enabled. It was an interesting concept, actually. Put a bunch of widgets and stuff in there and it's almost just like a different UI paradigm.

The word "idea" sounds like "idiate". I'm reminded of this a lot now.

WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) (wn)
ideate
v 1: form a mental image of something that is not present or
that is not the case; "Can you conceive of him as the
president?" [syn: imagine, conceive of, ideate,
envisage]

@royal I like this idea.

I have an idea. What if in #Mastodon, the way you quote-post (a la "quote tweet") is by replying to someone then boosting your own message. Works about the same, but requires a click to see the post being replied to.

@jackeric @0xDEADBEEF@fosstodon.org @ewerybody @kkavee @tankgrrl @crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic The insulting meaning of "gimp" is too fringe to matter. I'm saying you're being oversensitive.

It's possible that from where you come from, "gimp" is used as an insult. From where I'm from, it literally only means GNU Image Manipulation Program, or a way to K.O. in fighting games. Sorry if it happens to offend you, really, but Mastodon politics is a little unhinged so what do I expect....

Nailed it.
Go ahead torching cars, that'll change their minds and make them vote blue.

The more you do this, the more the silent majority will become just the majority.

The acronym "GIMP" happens to coincide with the fringe/slang insult "gimp". That's it.
They can change the name if they want, but there's no need as there's nothing about the GIMP software that insults disabled people.
Do a web search for "gimp" and you'll find what "gimp" most likely means in real life!

@GIMP Thank you for all the hard work! I've been using GIMP for a while.

(Sorry about all the angry replies, I wish they'd be civil about how they disagree! Change the "offensive" name if you want, but keep up the good work with the actual software! <3)
