The people I refering to constantly being angry at Mozilla for adding stuff that actually being useful (in aggresive way) to the point the mod group banned them.
Just like console war, and some Linux people angry that casuals users flocking in, you will never know whether things are real or satire.
Well, some people just recently get the Mica updates, so some actually believe that Firefox copying Apple. Seen those people on Facebook group yesterday.
Considering recent flood of critiques of Mozilla, it’s harder to point whether people actually dislike it or a mere satire.
Firefox Developer edition already get this even before Apple Glass UI announcement.
The dev is Korean.
It might seems a mere lewd game, but all games from the dev is always have relatively good story. Even their lewd gacha mobile game, Nikke, its fandom often talks about lore and backstory alongside with lewd fanart.
A lot of cross payment system between countries already handled by government due to dedolarization, moving away from American overlords
At least, this seems provide a better solution for them.
Not every current Twitter users are aware of Elon stuff, huge chunk of them are even never heard who is Elon Musk.
Not everyone are aware of American politics. America is not the center of the world.
Report it the the dev.
Main GIMP developers are actually nice and responsive. They are also willing to hear more feedback from everyone.
Some Chinese phone release outside China also began to de-googled as well. At least that’s the case for Huawei in Indonesia.
…and some Linux users do professional art/design for living.
Having Krita as basic image editing is doable. However, if you actually use them professionally, you’ll realize that Krita is definitely not alternative to those.
Krita is a first-class painting software, and even its current development is more closer to be Clip Studio Paint alternative, like having comic layer, webtoon layout, etc. The dev regularly observate Clip Studio Paint development.
Affinity Photo is actually easier to use than any alternative, including Photoshop and even GIMP. Its base system also much more faster than Photoshop, GIMP, and even Krita.
I conclude that as I’ve been helping people setting their computer as well as teaching people to use various softwares for 15 years :)
I always try to know what things they want to do and their skill level, then recommending software that might be suitable for them. It can be proprietary, but most of the time I tried to recommend FOSS alternative instead.
That’s why I said “majority of people.”
There’s always small group of people that prefer certain software and refuse to change, they might even hate when the software gets updated. Heck, some people even still use obsolete creative softwares despite the development company is dead for almost 20 years.
I’m talking flexible UI as relative to Clip Studio Paint.
The software is now an industry standard for manga, webtoon, 2D animation, and general ACG-related illustration in Asia. It was so good that there’s no other alternative that have it. Not even Photoshop or Krita.
I read that Krita dev also agree that it will be nice to have it.
There’s a ton of unique workflow only be possible with it.
I believe when majority of people saying “Photoshop has this, we should do this as well” are not actually saying GIMP should create a total carbon-copy.
People loves easy to use interface, not carbon copy of Photoshop, even if they don’t say that. They just don’t know how to articulate their frustration better.
When Affinity Photo emerges as actual Photoshop alternative, no one complains regarding “not being Photoshop clone” because the interface is actually easier than Photoshop, while still being advanced software.
New GIMP user complaining about interface “not being Photoshop clone” is indicator that GIMP interface is not easy to use and intuitive enough.
No. Importance of UX simply means advance users can customize their workflow while making it easy to use for casual users.
Kinda like Krita or Blender. Both are not perfect, but the dev are working on it, together with the community.
Even GIMP dev also working on that, they have GIMP UX issue tracker here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/
“your program should look and behave exactly like this other program made by a corpo, because I’ve learned that one already”
Oftentimes established workflow is already simple. There’s no need to reinvent this from scratch. Example: Npainter and AzPainter are heavily inspired by PaintToolSAI. Inochi Creator is a clone (with unique feature) of Live2D Cubism.
Oh, outside Western sphere (including my coountry), there are a lot of tech entusiast that also a Microsoft "fans, "the same way Apple fans are exist.
Also, in my experience, despite I hate Microsoft, I found so many niche open source project that almost never in any English FOSS discussion. Especially, project that belongs to Indonesian, Chinese, or Japanese FOSS community. Example: video player with Japanese learning capabilities, video downloader for specific Chinese video hosting, or anime tracker with Chinese site as its database.
I wish FOSS community will provide alternative to social experience and recommendation like GitHub. With ActivityPub :)
To be fair, MS Paint (and other Paint-alike) software shape tools is barebone. No NDE and just direct to canvas/layer. (which perfectly fine for its scope)
Using select tools to make shape is not actual Shape tools.
As I stated previously, GIMP developers list Shape Tools in the roadmap.
Also, why not use those programs you listed instead, if GIMP isn’t getting the job done.
Hoping our tool to be more capable is just a normal thing. I want GIMP to be the best image editor, I want Krita to be the best painting and animation software, and so on.
Fediverse is still mostly Westerner.
While on Facebook, there are a ton of community from SEA, East Asia, Africa, Middle East, and so on.
Also, Facebook Lite makes the poorest people in my country to be able to access social media without using too many internet quota.
The variation of groups is far beyond any social media, even Reddit or any other community site. You can get thousands of variation of Minecraft groups that exactly suits your community needs. Or maybe just a city chicken fried seller community.
