Comment on The Document Foundation is proud to release LibreOffice 25.8.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days agohonestly kinda disappointed they switched to calendar versioning, it makes identifying big releases much harder
GNU IMP (i refuse to say the short name) 3.0.0 was such an event, it’s sad knowing libreoffice can’t really have that

Wait, is the G in GNU pronounced like the G in GIMP?!?!?
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
idk, but the G in GIMP (ugh) does stand for GNU
i wonder if it’s also the official reason that it’s (typically) pronounced in GNOME?
lemmyknow@lemmy.today 2 days ago
I know. I just didn’t know GNU was pronounced Gee-Noo, like in GIMP
Isn’t GNOME also a GNU thing? GNU Image Manipulation Program Network O… Object… Model… uhh… Environment? Also, this means GNOME is pronounced like Genome, as in, like, Jeans and stuff, innit?

…do you pronounce GIMP with a soft G?
for all 3 of these projects the main way ive heard them said is with a hard G, i know there is a debate with GNOME as to pronounce the G or not (as in the word “gnome”), idk if a similar debate exists with GNU
imo, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word, as long as people know what you’re talking about, it’s fine
