Community used to their own in-jokes and weird oversights suddenly having to explain those in-jokes and weird oversights to outsiders | SMELLS LIKE: Linux suddenly getting a lot more popular and having to explain why the software manager has in its "Featured" category an image editor that's so fucking bad I know three people IRL who left Linux entirely and went back to Windows rather than use it, also its name is a slur | SMELLS LIKE: pupils contracting in unaccustomed light as I pull my fist out of the can of cold beans and rather than being ashamed I just pass the can over to you and ask if you want some

Thinking about this again because littleun asked me to put some music editing software on her laptop so I opened up the Software Centre or whatever the hell Mint calls it and immediately upon loading it displayed a slur in text so big it took up a third of the screen and thank fuck I'd told her okay go play for a few minutes while I get it installed
