9 days agoThis seems like a good official message to have, and personally I think they are making the right call. As someone in my early 20s, I can say that at least in the area I grew up (pacific north west of USA) “gimp” as a derogatory term is not widely used or known among my peers. In fact it didn’t even occur to me that I knew a second usage for the word until I read a comment on reddit a few years ago. My response then was “Oh yeah I guess I’ve heard that word used in that way before, maybe in a movie?”, and to be honest I feel the same way now. I believe “gimp is on its way out as a term to put down others, and I’m much more familiar with the term GIMP in reference to the useful program that this post is about.
yeah I had the same thought when I read this post. I like hyprland, and will continue to use it because I like it more than all other WMs i’ve tried, but with every new post by Vaxry I cringe more and more. I was hoping to learn about some honest criticisms of Cosmic, because like many others it is something I am excited about and would like to keep up to date with its progress, however the post reads like a child doing nothing but complaining and making strawman arguments. I mean seriously, nobody is saying Cosmic is the “coming of christ” or whatever, so there is no reason to spend so many words explaining how it’s a problem.
