Krita looks nice.

Concept artist Sam Santala pointed out that you can’t raise a support request to discuss the terms without first agreeing to them. You can’t even uninstall the apps!

Well, at least they made this as easy as possible to challenge in court.

But given the way AI bros behave I suspect this is a smash and grab. The penalties don’t matter if they get to keep the goods in the form of generative AI training.

Wasn't there somebody just the other day talking about Adobe's ever-growing bloated bullshit versus GIMP's sleek UI and consistent features? Oh. Right. It was me.

Was that the article about how GIMP developers refuse to fix the things that repel new users?

Just fix the damn UX and UI, that’s all I need

They've been told to do this for decades and they are proudly ignoring these requests.

Honestly, I don't need the tools I use to change to become more mass-market focused. Nobody wants to eat a soup designed by consensus. I'd rather use something that suits me and have it continue to suit me than need everything to be the biggest most popular thing. Popularity seems to kind of ruin things.

"Just use this thing that you've already rejected for X, Y, and Z."

"Have they fixed X, Y, and Z yet?"

" Fuck you for asking."
