Hey guess what? They pretty have the same minimalist ui. Way to miss the entire point I made

Also, I never mentioned Photoshop. Open any standard drawing app that was developed recently: Procreate, Infinite Paint, Krita, Fresco. Look how straightforward it is to start working. Look at the Ui. It doesn’t get in the way.

Edit: oh no the FOSS evangelists are not feeling it. I get it. I use a lot of FOSS apps for work. That doesn’t mean we have to be evangelical in our defense of FOSS. Recognize there are issues and we can work to fix them. Don’t get so defensive, Lemmy. My god.

Yes, as an artist I will choose the path of least resistance. Open any new drawing app today: Procreate, Infinite Paint, Krita, Fresco and look how clean and easy it is to get right to the point and start working. Now open GIMP and pull my eyelashes out already. The tool should not get in the way of the task. I’m with Steve Jobs on this, sorry. Computers are means to an end. For some they can be hobbies. Linux exists. Have fun.

If you think Photoshop has anywhere near the learning curve that is GIMP then I’m sorry. There is nothing I can do to convince you and this conversation is dead in the water. If something free was on par even slightly with Photoshop, then a whole industry would have shifted over to avoid the burden of costs. There’s a reason the potato shop UI hasn’t changed in 20 years.

Barf. Or maybe, just maybe, we have other shit to do rather than spend hours trying to figure out how to do one thing in Gimp. It’s great that YOU’RE passionate about tech. Some of us have other hobbies. Imagine that holy shit

If you voted for Stein you might as well have voted for Trump or thrown it in the trash. Same difference

I’d be careful with this one. Being verbose in non-fiction does not produce good writing automatically. In my opinion the best writers in the world have an economy of words but are still eloquent and rich in their expression

Already on the way babayyy. Ubuntu gang here we gooooo I know, i know. There are other popular distros but I wanted to start there

How is it possible that tesla is losing sales in markets where EVs are growing? Not a good sign

It’s unreal how good Krita is. The small team behind it has accomplished something amazing.

Very interesting! Will check out

Give Darktable a go. I switched from LR to DT a year ago and im never going back.

Been usin DT for close to a year now. I agree the learning curve is a little steeper than light room but once you get it, everything clicks into place. I can’t believe how powerful this program is and it’s free. It’s unbelievable

It my personal experience I found it all extremely convoluted… And I like gdpr

GDPR is a good goal, but the implementation is hell. There has to be a way to make well intentioned policies not turn into the nightmare fuel that it inevitably always turns into.

It’s Ok for small shops that do local projects. When you start working on large commercial projects you have 4-5 teams (architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, irrigation consultants) with each team involving 7-12 people then the pipeline gets complicated fast. Standardization is the only way to get projects out the door in a timely manner. We’re already struggling with in-house autodesk products that already struggle to talk to each other bc autodesk sucks haha

It’s not streamlined, fast, or integrated well with other platforms/programs. Most of all, our adjacent consultants need to work in dwg. The whole industry pipeline is built around Autodesk products unfortunately and they own the market

Haha I would love to. But I would have to get all my teams - and there are many - to switch. I also tried FreeCAD. It’s OK for hobbyists but it’s unusable for architecture… C’est la vie

I’ve ran windows and linux side by side in the past. It was OK. I just wish the big names would get on board already (Adobe, autodesk, etc)

Ugh. Sounds like a lot of work. I’ll think about it
