The actual gAMA value stored in the picture is ~2.2, while 0.45455 would be the correct value for a typical sRGB gAMA chunk (1÷2.2).

This lines up with Gama Sutra's indie salary survey[0] pretty well; 11k average income, 2% >200k.

For instance Vasco de Gama (Europe to India guy) took 3 weeks to cross the Indian ocean the first time.

Fast forward a few years and the Portuguese show up on the other side of Africa, Vasco Da Gama at the helm.

Consequently, Vasco da Gama rounding Africa in 1498 doomed Venice as a great power.

And again cobalt produces Gama radiation which some things use as food.

In this house, Vasco da Gama is a hero, end of story!

The photons created in the core are some seriously energetic gama rays.

The final touch was editing the gAMA value in the PNG.

You need a lot of confidence to start the Darien Scheme ( equivalent to Vasco da Gama ) Unlike da Gama, the Darien scheme ended in disaster for the whole of Scotland and the poor souls in Caledonia.

> Plot twist; here was never a gAMA chunk to begin with!

Also note that around the same time other European expeditions were making similar discoveries: 2 years before Columbus, Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope and a decade later Da Gama braved 10,000 km of open ocean and discovered a sea route to India.

After hex editing the gAMA chunk to actually feature the "default" 0.45455 instead, the image now renders correctly everywhere for me.

Vasco da Gama, is credited with discovering a sea route to India by sailing around Africa in 1497-1498, though India was not new to the world, and the people of India were not "discovered" by Europeans.

> Limes had yet to be discovered or something "In the 1497 expedition of Vasco da Gama, the curative effects of citrus fruit were already observed and were confirmed by Pedro Álvares Cabral and his crew in 1507.

Book tip: I really enjoyed reading "City of Fortune: How Venice Ruled the Seas", which taught me that the main thing Venice had going for it was controlling much of the Silk Road trade until Vasco da Gama doomed it in 1498.

Intel's entry nicely fills a void left between more humanist types like Ascender's Open Sans and more geometric families like Natanel Gama's redrawn Exo family.

I think this pattern was popularised in the Design Patterns book (Gama et al).

Pepper it was that brought Vasco de Gama's tall ships across the ocean, from Lisbon's Tower of Belém to the Malabar Coast: first to Calicut and later, for its lagoon harbor, to Cochin.
