  No one can really know what GNU stands for unless they can evaluate an infinite recursion in finite time.

    GNU isn’t entirely infinite though. After unpacking GNU is Not Unix 10^45 times, you actually find out what the final G is for.

      I actually wrote a script to figure out what the last G stands for. The last G stsnds for “RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded”. Pretty weird.

      This is why it really should have been called “NNU”, that would work perfectly.

  I like using the GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program ToolKit when I make GUIs.

    Ah, so a GUI is in fact a GNU User Interface ?

    • BootLoop@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I think we should call them Gnuser Interfaces and shorten it to GI. Gnome systems only.

    Have you ever used the GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation ToolKit America Online Instant Messenger?

    yeah, but what does GNU stand for?

    source

    • BootLoop@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      GNu’s Not Unix.

      See my comment here to see what the GNU part stands for:
