Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 01:46:18 @tankgrrl @crowbriarhexe @mjibrower @petrillic ah I see. I may live oversea now but English is still my second language. I actually never heard the word gimp being used in other context other than the software. |

Föderation EN Di 18.03.2025 04:21:00 Same happened to me, but the day I learned that word is a slur, I understood that is wrong, and their unwillingness to change means I cannot use nor recommend that software |
