GNU’s Not Unix! moment
GNU’s not Unix image manipulation program toolkit.
RecursionError: Maximum recursion depth exceeded image manipulation toolkit
I haven’t really done much recursion in Python, but can’t we do a tail-recursive version so that it (almost) never reaches recursion depth issues?
We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

Lol Edit: TIL that’s what GTK stands for
GNU’s not Unix image manipulation program toolkit public license
Windows should emulate Linux so it can run wine on its arm chips.
WSL 3 wishlist starts here
I refuse to use 2 because it breaks all my shit.
OG WSL 1 for me, or just Linux lol
Qemu if you can get it. It is a little hard to learn but it can use Hyper-V acceleration
It’s harder to set up windows without giving microsoft the right to let 72 virgins rape your ass than to use QEMU.
Honestly, yes
GTK = GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit
I wrote a rule engine for processing data called ORE - ORE Rule Engine I wanted to call it Odoyle Rules Engine. It had a QueryTracker, that had a RulesAppliedQueue aka a QT with a RAQ. This is what happens when you have 4 friends from college working in a 4 pack office.
My personal favorite acronym like that definitely goes to AROS (Amiga Research Operating System) that if I remember correctly had to - for legal reasons - change the name. Rather than come up with a completely new name, went with AROS Research Operating System.
Edit: name change was apparently to avoid any trademark issues with the Amiga name.
my favorite fact about Wine is that they could’ve named it Pine, Dine, Fine, Line, etc
It’s a cheeky play on “WINdows Emulator” as well as “WINE’s Is Not an Emulator”, but I think for both legal (trademark) and logistical (it really isn’t an emulator) reasons, you’ll never officially see that bit sanctioned
Pine was already taken by an email reader. One of the early ascii email readers was called elm, for ELectronic Mail. Pine was made after elm and it stands for Pine Is Not Elm.
I’m starting to get the impression that most software older than me is defined more by what it isn’t than by what it is.
EMACS makes all coding suck
VIM is marvelousVim is the new “I use Arch btw”
NEW?
I guess? Because I’m new to Linux
Well, it was either that or “I’ve been using Unix for so long that my first text editor was ed”.
Emacs is older than ed
Didn’t ed released in 69 and Emacs is in 85?
73 and 76, but I got them mixed up, ed is older.
That’s for original Emacs though, the gnu version came out in 85
You could argue that maybe Helix is.
New?
My favorite software acronym is PINCE, the reverse engineering tool that’s similar to Cheat Engine in Winblols, that stands for PINCE Is Not Cheat Engine.
My favorite is the scanning device interface driver protocol.
TWAIN
Technology Without An Interesting Name
I really wanted this to be true but according to Wikipedia that’s an unofficial backronym. :( Sorry to be Debbie Downer.
Get outta here with your facts! /s
I’m partial to a good TLA (three letter acronym) myself.
GNU Hurd.
It’s time [to] explain the meaning of “Hurd”. “Hurd” stands for “Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons”. And, then, “Hird” stands for “Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth”. We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.
– Thomas (then Michael) Bushnell
And then they slapped the GNU’s not UNIX infront for good measure
LoL I guess acronyms that repeat on itself are a common thing in Linux
True is not cause it not emulating CPU/GPU of a different device, is more like a translator of sorts as it translates windows modules like directx and stuff in a way that Linux can interpret them and use them!
Yaml ain’t markup language
It kind of is though.
You can wine about it all day - it still isn’t an emulator.
Well then, I guess our ideology doesn’t translate into the same meaning.
Of course not! It’s a drink!
