@hailey@hails.org on Mastodon: "the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu, but you shouldn't confuse it with gnulib, which is developed by the gnu project, who shouldn't be confused as the developers of glib, which is the gnome project, in which the g also stands for gnu".

I think this is sarcasm, but just in case it isn't... GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix".
