Hi Fediverse 👋
hope you are fine while we are approaching the weekend 🙂
Let's make it colourful with:
- #GIMP and @glimpse / Raster graphics editors 🎨
- #darktable / Raw photo editor 📷
- #blender / @blender / 3D creation suite 🖥️
- #LibreOffice / @libreoffice / Office suite 📄
- #Inkscape / @inkscape / Vector graphics editor ⛰️
Have a nice time and maybe do something creative and fun if you feel like it 🌻
@hache @switchingsoftware I think they added both precisely so they wouldn't have to deal with this controversy. I really don't think they wrote this intending harm in any way, shape or form.
@hache @switchingsoftware Clinging to this meaning and imposing it on others is your choice.
The ableist slur is one non-intended interpretation that only applies in *some* native variants of english; and even there is mostly archaic. For those in the world using english as a second language or not even knowing english this is a non-issue and harping on about the problems is also hurting @glimpse's upstream.

@switchingsoftware Just gonna keep recommending the software whose name is an ableist slur, huh? That's disappointing.
