I tried GIMP again. It's been many years since I installed and used it. I tried it once and absolutely hated it, the interface was klunky and hard to use and it was impossible to really do anything with the program.
WTF did they do? The interface actually makes sense now! I can find the things I need! And it looks good too! Very nice.

🚀 Just spent my weekend building a tiny open-source Mars rover simulator in Python.
Why? Because sleep is overrated and Mars is calling.

Open source e sovranità digitale: l’Europa tra adozione diffusa e scarso contributo allo sviluppo
Il nuovo rapporto della Linux Foundation Europe conferma che l’open source è centrale per la sovranità digitale europea, ma l’UE resta indietro nei contributi concreti, con scarsa leadership, strategie incomplete e un gap marcato rispetto ai grandi attori globali.
