He irritated the wealthy elites by saying their notions of piety were essentially bullshit.

Not sure if you’re shitposting, but that’s basically the opposite of what happened.

Such an eloquent response. Where do you get your comebacks, from xitter?

I think your argument is a little outdated because libre software has come a long way in the past few decades. I couldn’t imagine not being able to turn a manuscript into a publishable product with FOSS software in the state they are today.

If your argument is that it would take longer because someone has to relearn the interface, that’s just because they’re used to one and not the other. If it’s because they prefer features that the other doesn’t have, that’s just preference but easily circumvented.

The only other way I could see there being a difference is because of patented features, but that’s a discussion that’s already been had in this thread. And it’s not about open-source developers being in any way worse than closed-source developers.

It sounds like you spent more energy on this than they did on calling you a tool. And you’re the one getting upset about someone having a different opinion. Your whole comment is projection.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but if you think that double-standard isn’t present in some circles of the internet then you obviously haven’t encountered many keyboard-feminists…

Wow, imagine an .ml trying so hard to go to bat for corporations and proprietary software. Hilarious…

The great thing about open source is that it’s generally developed by people who use it. Proprietary software is just developed by people who get paid by someone who’s just doing it to make a profit…

Does it do bitmaps or vector images? Or both?

I don’t know why any company with hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on commercial LLM APIs wouldn’t just build and self-host their own LLM fine-tuned on data relevant to their work…

Because women swooning over men is called sexual liberation, but men swooning over women is called chauviny…

Don’t blame me, I don’t make the rules…

Sadako?

So mortified that he streisand-effected himself by posting a picture on the internet…

More programmers for tech co-ops and open-source projects.

I mean sure, it won’t cover these people’s mortgages or probably even healthcare. That sucks, it really does. But let’s starve big tech of the expertise that they so obviously disdain, and contribute our time and energy to building better alternatives.

Is krita closer to gimp or inkscape? How does it compare/contrast to that one?

All I could find is some statistical overviews without much detail, and a more list of recent patents which are all related to AI.

Is there a specific feature that you wish was in the others? I don’t really understand the difference between UX and UI

Ugh, nothing “intuitive” should ever be patentable. Can you imagine if “horizontally-ruled paper” was patented? Or “handles on cooking pans,” “shirts with two sleeves,” or anything of that sort?

Like, why should anyone have to avoid an obvious feature just because someone else did it first? It’s insane.

Also, FOSS projects and non-profits should be exempted from patent restrictions.

Why is that? Is it just the user interface? Performance? Or are they missing features that you need?

How do they compare, in your experience?

Have you tried Gimp and Inkscape?
