I’m really glad it seems like my thoughts have been appreciated, I was kinda mentally preparing myself for people to be unhappy with me

I find this kind of stuff frustrating enough I needed to edit my first version of the comment cause it was angrier, but I want people to actually hear me out and think about the culture we cultivate in the foss space. It really matters.

There are so many issues people care about (eg. Software freedom) specifically because we want a world that is kinder to people, and then we act on that value or interest in a way that isn’t kind to people. A little empathy goes a looong way

Thank you for the kind words, I hope you have a lovely day :)

As a long time linux user, antagonizing people who are unsure if the switch is right for them is very clearly a poor interpersonal choice that will not result in the change we wanna see in the world, or more people adopting linux

Fuckin seriously, we can do better than this circle jerk. As someone who cares deeply about software being kinder to people it pains me enormously how much of a dump stat interpersonal skills are for so much of the Foss community

If the authors wanna pat themselves for linux they can do it without creating a unempathetic, condescending, preachy culture that alienates people.

Just call the article “things we love about having switched to linux” so it finds the right audience and its fine, but this shit sucks and its exactly the kind of crap that has made so many of my friends resistant to hearing what I think is good and special about Foss software. They hear me out anyway, but I’d love for it to not be a fucking uphill battle because Foss people routinely emulate the same preachy, condescending, unempathetic interpersonal apprach that everyone bemoans about the worst vegan spaces online

Krita seems like a better run project and more competently designed thing, but like the other reply they’re kinda made for different things

Krita is specific to digital painting/illustration. Gimp aims to be more of a drop in replacement for Photoshop with both photo editing tools and painting workflows

What exactly is a linux security module? Like what do they do?

Like when there’s a security issue, it gets patched- what does a module of some kind add to that?

Thats fucking rad!

This is a neat find, thanks for posting!

Thats super cool!

Yeah. I am a fan of valve but their complicity in cs:go skin gambling uhhh… gets worse and worse the more closely you look at it.

Its fair to appreciate the good they have done for linux and largely very consumer friendly business practices AND, companies are not your friends.

God damn, you fucking killed it. Beautiful rendering!

Wow. I watched some in the embeded tweet and that was uhhh… That was hot garbage…

Dont watch the tweet if you don’t want spoilers, there are important story beats included cause they’re scenes with a lot of emotion that the ai dub completely mangles

Highly recommend the show. Content warning for sexual abuse and exploitation though, its a central part of the story and the show is a very difficult watch

That’s fucking rad as hell

Damn, thats a real hot finance tip

HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES HATE THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK! 😱😱😱

I mean ublock origin seems like a simple answer

I mean, it’s absolutely a shitpost

I’d not heard of that one, thats super cool!

I think this is my favorite visualization of the size distortion that I’ve seen!

Gimp is I think a more challenging comparison to its proprietary counterparts than the others you listed unfortunately, but I appreciate and agree with your sentiment here. Ui/ux is such a big part of where foss creative tools struggle, and while some are better than others, its a difficult thing to improve because there’s a lot less design talent in the foss world than dev talent. And ui design for large creative software is REALLY a hard design challenge, its not as though the design skill involved is trivial

Anyway, I think inkscape no longer opens a blank document anymore, at least with fresh installs. Maybe for older installs it keeps the old behavior? You should be able to switch it to a nice little welcome splash with document templates and recently opened files if you’d like :)

Happy threadiverse anniversary :)

And also Thanksgiving if you celebrate it ☺️

I use peertube.wtf and have had no issues if thats of help. There’s an artist on peertube who posts his music I’ll see if I can check what instance he’s on…

He’s on communitymedia.video :)

Hope either of these are helpful suggestions :)
