Sounds like a Union is a good thing. Apprenticeship programs.

Pretty much every filter I need from PS like levels, curves, unsharp mask, blurs, etc are there and I even get all of my layer styles. If you were familiar with photoshop circa cs3 era I honestly think it’s just better, but I’m a Linux user and software engineer, not a professional graphic designer or photo manipulator

I avoided it for so long and just used photopea online instead because I thought krita was just for drawing and I don’t do that. I’m sure it’s fantastic for that but I don’t draw and was so used to photoshop I didn’t imagine it’d be basically a better version of it and written in QT, but I was pretty surprised at how it’s just that

Ah you’re right, it just cannot happen with a steam machine.

I guess all valve has to do is release steam machines again and then what? Suddenly the year of the Linux desktop isn’t here?

That’s fair, but those users seem to not know what they want: they think posting it will fix the problem. It won’t, we have discovered with valve that money is the problem in FOSS. Turns out if you just pay people shit gets done in Linux. We should focus efforts to get money flowing to GIMP, not laying blame on the existing users who don’t care. It’s literally not their fault, it’s the lack of funding which is why Linux isn’t more popular.

Then maybe we shouldn’t be complaining about GIMP’s UI and instead be giving them money :D It seems like that’s how you fix Linux, not posting “can’t make circle tho” or “it isn’t like Photoshop and I refuse to use Krita tho”

I’m just bringing it to the main thread topic: GIMP often has complaints that it isn’t like Photoshop. Well, Krita is. So what’s the point of complaining about GIMP anymore? Just complain about Krita please. Let GIMP do its own thing with the people that care about it and let Krita be the Photoshop replacement that everyone desires. I use Krita instead of GIMP because I am very used to Photoshop—I don’t complain about GIMP because it’s literally pointless when I have a tool I enjoy.

Maybe, but people who demand volunteers to provide more labor than they are willing to also are the problem. You don’t seem to grasp the nature of volunteering. It isn’t meant to serve you—volunteers do what they want when they want to because you won’t do what they want. They have your same frustrations: I want it to do X! So they do it.

I’ll also say this: arguments like yours have been used for decades while Linux is getting more and more popular. Maybe, just maybe, you’re wrong.

Yall just use Krita if you want a photoshop replacement on Linux and then stop complaining about gimp please. Krita draws circles exactly like photoshop please just use Krita and leave the gimp people alone

Valve sells all of its computers with Linux on it, no?

How much do you donate to FOSS?

Edit: lol people want unpaid labor and aren’t willing to put money where their mouth is. “Yall ain’t volunteering hard enough!!”

It’s open source. Volunteer your labor, time, advocacy, or financial assistance if you want your voice heard or continue to hope someone else does it.

“Knows”

Too much credibility to the backend devs out there. “CSS is too hard to remember” is why things like tailwind are more popular than they deserve.

Elixir and Clojure are awesome languages and don’t need no types. Elixir is getting them though, so you weird static type absolutists can finally look at it soon. I even use Haskell and OCaml and Rust which has stricter types than the languages y’all write in and I never complain about the lack of types in languages.

I’m the guy on the right, typescript devs are in the middle

Damn why doesn’t git just use sql instead of Merkle trees I guess that’s just stupid tell Linus to get to using SQLite asap!!!

But no, you’re wrong. Cryptographically verifiable merkle trees are a valuable way to store changing data. Unlike your recommendations, they don’t satisfy the needs of verification, which is literally a great use-case for ssns. Now I’ll admit that the SSN db doesn’t need to be distributed, which is the only thing a blockchain adds to that equation. But you are just flat out wrong for suggesting a sql db 😂

Okay but partial application of curried functions is a really cool way of doing dependency injection and you haven’t experienced bliss until you create a perfect module of functions that are exactly that

Also languages with macros and custom operators (where operators are just functions with special syntactic sugar) are so much cooler than those without (Clojure and elixir my beloved)

Additionally a system where illegal states are made impossible is soooo nice to work in. It’s like a cheat code

Not really, it’s just good practice. You write your application in layers, and the outer layer/boundary is where you want your side effects and that outer layer takes the crazy effectful world and turns it sane with nice data types and type classes and whatnot and then your inner layers operate on that. Data goes down the layers then back up, at least in my experience with functional projects in OCaml, F#, Clojure, and Haskell.

The real sauce is immutability by default/hard-to-do mutation. I love refs in OCaml and Clojure, so much better than mutation. Most of the benefits of FP are that and algebraic data types, in that order imo.

If I had a Tesla and someone smart enough to hack into I wouldn’t doubt I could probably figure out how they build their dashboards and reverse engineer them, they’re most likely browser based or qt or something like it. It’d be too costly to do it in anything else and Id bet many spacex dashes are the same tech. But I ain’t rich enough to get one of those things so someone else has to. There’s only so many ways to draw pixels on a screen in the name of profit

You can’t just host the 632B model that the app uses lol
