GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.

The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

Some people are so addicted to anger that they'll shoot themselves in the foot just so they'll have something to complain about.

"The gimp" is a character from Pulp Fiction. You're imagining things and refusing to use a powerful tool in response to that imagined slight.

Nobody was angry. Also, words have multiple uses. Just because it was used in Pulp Fiction in the BDSM context does not mean it doesn't carry the ableist definition.
