GNOME Games + GSoC project + GTK4 + 3d transform = awesome

It's our birthday today! We are now the wise age of 22. 😋 Join us in reminiscing these past years by sharing some of your favorite GNOME memories!

@gnome A few years ago, I was watching my sister doing her college homework; she was studying biology. I saw her editing a photo in the GIMP, on Windows.

"Sis, I didn't know you used the GIMP."

"Oh, yeah, some friends at school told me about it, it's a Photoshop clone one can just download."

"..."

"..."

"Sis, did you know I was the maintainer like 15 years ago? I wrote the first third-party plugin for it."

"WHAT"

I'm happy that we've given non-computer nerds good software.

Happy Birthday @gnome 🎂!

Its a maddening thing to look at Spanish written codices and see my ancestors villified as barbarians. Its true that famine and power corruption had taken hold of the empire eventually as all power does eventually corrupt, but this was not who the Mexica were. Our people were bright, humble, strong. They were invested in education and the arts and preserving the world around them. They were not the arbiters of destruction that they have been made out to be. That was Hernan Cortes and his war.

@lorabe

I do ask myself why #walmart is still an actively running company? in #Germany they tried to establish around twenty years ago by evasion of national law. But fortunately they failed due to our labor unions 😀

A strong argument against the current trend of criticizing billionaire philanthropy: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/29/against-against-billionaire-philanthropy/

It gave me a lot to think about.

A sample:

> The idea that we should divert money from freeing the incarcerated, saving animals, and reuniting families - to instead expanding incarceration, torturing animals, and separating families - seems monstrous to me, even (especially?) when cloaked in communitarian language.

Some ant species developed agriculture millions of years before we did, and live on mushrooms that they cultivate themselves
