The dream... Proof of concept for full CMYK mode after GIMP 3.0, inspired by a conversation with @zemarmot. **Very** buggy at the moment, but at least I have a better understanding of how to implement it when the time comes.

It's healthy to familiarize yourself with individuals who exist outside your comfort zone and norms. It can be challenging, inspiring, or sometimes just validating. So when you meet someone who prefers a light color theme in their IDE - study them, ask why 😂

I’ve designed every single cover for this press on @scribus, an open-source page layout program. Not always easy but always free, which is essential for our press since we don’t have the cash for InDesign or Photoshop. So I guess this is just a thank you to the folks there. - NR

In more important news, I picked up a copy of Rudolf Koch's Book Of Signs and am now that much closer to proposing we add all of it to Unicode next year. I definitely think, for example, that GitHub would benefit by being able to tag things as "disordered intellect"

Really excited to hear the news that @scribus will be joining projects like @GIMP_Official and @inkscape in using @gitlab. This means that there will be an #AppImage for every git commit 👍 #lgm2019
