Oh so what’s g in grep and git stand for?
Does the g in gspot also stand for gnu?
it actually stands for garam masala
Believe it or not, yes.

As a former Windows user, it still is taking a long time to wrap my head around all this new terminology, functions, and systems.
This doesn’t help. XD
The W in Windows stands for worse, so good for you.
unless you absolutely must, don’t think about it

and the g in gnu also stands for gnu
Yeah - supposed to be the pinnacle
I wish we knew some new gnu jokes.

In case you were wondering the ‘w’ in ‘wine’ stands for ‘wine’, and the full acronym is ‘Wine Is Not an Emulator’. What do you think the ‘w’ in ‘Wine Is Not an Emulator’ stands for?
As a younger teen trying to get starcraft running on my linux box, my parents were definitely upset when they saw me browsing “winehq”. They thought I was trying to get booze shipped to our house :D

A topic with a a lot of gnuances.

Fun fact: The K in GNU stands for Kernel.

Yeah, they missed the best part.
GNU stands for GNU’s Not Unix, which is a recursive acronym. And, when pronounced properly (like the animal) the G is silent. The entire Linux ecosystem has words that start with G based on an acronym where G essentially comes from nowhere, and isn’t actually pronounced.
Well, I dont wanna start a debate, but the official website of GNU indicate that the “g” in GNU isn’t silent.
So it depends on whether you want to pronounce it “properly” or as it was intended.
The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not Unix!”; it is pronounced as one syllable with a hard g, like “grew” but with the letter n instead of r.
Then what does the g in gnu stand for?
Greatsoftware Notwithstanding Unix
gnu
you’re not gonna believe this…
I’ve got g’news for you…
g’news and g’day to you as well, g’lady!
I think this is sarcasm, but just in case it isn’t… GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not Unix”.
My guess for why they chose the letter g is that gnu can be phonetically the same as just nu, but keeps people from interpreting the name of the project as a dumb spelling of “new”.

So if I’m getting it right, gobject is short for gnugnu(…)gnuimptklibobject.

Following the modern C conventions, the text following the series of (gnu) doesn’t matter and you can write anything you want there.

Now you need to write a layer of typedefs to map the expanded names back to their original types.
I can’t believe they didn’t put this one in there!
I thought it was called gnome because little gnomes go into your computer to draw the windows
I remember a time when almost every category of tool had something named “Yet Another [Thing]” because there were already so many options to choose from when they decided to make their own.
Yeah, like YAML, which’s name originally meant "Yet Another Markup Language*.
Then they redubbed it to mean “YAML Ain’t Markup Language”, because well, it isn’t actually a markup language. 🫠

Is it pronounced gnu or jnu?
Are you gnu here?
Jnu enough to stoke an ancient flame war for my personal entertainment.
You must have jift for that
Yer such a wildebeest!
What can I say, I’m a candidate for !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world
They’ll be back in a jiff.
Unironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.
You can easily answer this for yourself by looking up what the G stands for.
Wait…
The G is silent
It is in jnu.
@zqwzzle@lemmy.ca @flamingos@feddit.uk it’s pronounced .GIF
The G in GIF stands for Graphical, but the G in Graphical stands for Graham Crackers, the G in Graham Crackers stands for God, and the G in God stands for Gnu. From there it’s Gnus all the way down. Also, God pronounces “Graphical” with a soft G as in Jod.
