Did you know that the government of #Kerala includes #FreeSoftware in the school curriculum inspired by protests from free software enthusiasts and a favorable stance taken by a school teachers association? gnu.org/education/edu-system-i Help the free software community achieve the same for other states, countries, and regions worldwide by donating to support the #FSF's advocacy for free software. donate.fsf.org/

We just launched the Silent #FreeSoftware Memorabilia Auction. The first ten items are now open for bidding: u.fsf.org/466 This is your chance to get your very own personal souvenir of the FSF, from original GNU art to plush gnus that have been greeting visitors in the lobby of the FSF office for years and the very same VT220 that sat on the FSF's front desk.

Am I dreaming this morning? Which one is more impressive:

- #GIMP releasing 3.0
- An update to the #tut [1] client (probably the first one we had in like 2 years)

Either way, what a beautiful thing the world of #FreeSoftware is! Have a great week everyone!

The rise of Gimp 3

Big kudos to the #Gimp team!

I've just tested out the brand new version 3 and the most wanted feature, non-destructive-editig, just blew my mind!

I haven't realized that now, everything that is based on GEGL is editable, it is just amazing, this goes beyond what I expected as non-destructive-editing.

There are still plenty of room for improvements though , I hope in the future they will add a layer mask for each effect and the opacity channel to determine the amount of the intensity.

Nevertheless this result by itself it is just amazing and superior to other commercials solution even in its infantry!

This will boost my workflow cause now I can modify colors on my images without degrading the original ones and exporting the working file as jpeg-xl, this is already a pro level!
