Some naggy hoes are bitching about how “the name is a slur for disabled people” on mastodon.
They’ve been bitching about that since the beginning.
Fun fact: The first public testing version of GIMP was released in November 1995
In October 1995, the movie Pulp Fiction was released, featuring a character named “The Gimp”.
It’s just a typical UNIX-y backronym with a pop-culture reference.
If anyone else was annoyed by the excessive animations in the UI, it should obey your OS settings for reduced motion:
We now better respect reduce motion and animation OS settings across the interface. Several animations and “easter eggs” no longer display based on your system settings. We implemented these fixes after feedback from users that these animations could cause motion sickness and other issues for certain people.
https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.0.html#user-interface
On linux, adding
gtk-enable-animations=falseto~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.iniwill disable the animations. (Although I don’t know if that is the prefer reduced motion setting per se, or just override for gtk3, Either way, the animations are disabled).When GIMP 2.0 was released, I was a teenager.
Now my daughter is a teenager.That’s what the major part of version numbers is all about! /s
Really looking forward to this:
Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text, apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you can still edit your text, change font and size, and even tweak the style settings.
Honestly all the highlights are really cool. The non destructive editing is a game changer.
It has arrived:))🥹🥹🥰
