A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@shnizmuffin For those who know less/more, original name was General Image Manipulation Program, before it got renamed.
Ah, that goes farther back than I thought. I didn't need GIMP until CS3 reached EOL.
For an extra bit of trivia, GTK, the GUI library that later became the basis of GNOME and lots of programs, comes from GIMP ToolKit.
It's been switched around in later times, with GIMP using GTK now instead of the other way around, but GIMP is still essentially the forefather of all GNOME and related UIs.
