Being part of a community which is united by an interest in the use of certain software and licenses, but is otherwise made up of wildly different people, can be difficult and uncomfortable. I have felt uncomfortable at previous editions of LGM, but it's still my community. 1/?

I made a few pieces of lighted clothing for Boop! The Musical, now showing on Broadway. This robe and jacket (with nearly 4000 RGB LED pixels!) are used to illustrate a magical transition from Betty Boop's black and white cartoon world to the full color real world.

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

I'm truly honored that @zemarmot has entrusted me with this responsibility, and I'm excited to be a part of this new direction for @GIMP

*LGM will be streamed and recorded*

Nothing can beat meeting in person, but the second best thing is live streams and recordings.

We are more than excited to be partnering with @chaoswesttv to broadcast the LGM live online and to capture the sessions on video for later viewing via https://media.ccc.de

While you can stay at home and enjoy the spectacle from afar, our speakers will have to travel to get into the focus of our cameras. To ease their effort, we are organizing a reimbursement program.

If you’d like to help make this possible, please consider donating. Your support makes all the difference—thank you!

@agowa338 @GIMP Nice question! I never really thought about it.

I think there is a difference between "flipping along a horizontal axis" and "flip the horizontal aspects of an image". If using "inverting" or "reversing" instead of "flip" the interpretation used in GIMP/Inkscape might be a little more intuitive: "reverse horizontally" reverses the order within a horizontal row of pixels and keeps a vertical column of pixels unchanged (although the position of the column might change).
