Wow that’s naive.

Google’s ad network and YouTube are pushing the agenda more than pretty much everyone.

So far so good though Shopify being a major sponsor makes me doubt their long term direction.

Yeah they need an angel like Max.

Wait till you find out about the internet and social media (including here).

Your proposal is equivalent to just letting bots completely control the internet. It kills it. We either want an internet or we don’t.

That hasn’t been true for a long time. Filtering bots has increasingly become more difficult, expensive, and sophisticated. Not to mention that there are still plenty of state sponsored bad actors using real people and hybrid approaches.

After a decade of watching the GIMP community and leadership refuse obvious UI changes insisting it’s just “different” as well insisting on a name we can’t deal with in schools I’m not convinced they’re even serious anymore. My new hope is for the Graphite project to get where it wants to be.

There’s a reason gimp forums are full of first time artists posting pony’s while every competitor open or not is trying new things. There is some new young devs adding amazing things to GIMP (finally), I hope they can steer this into better waters but I’m beyond sceptical.

Significantly better with real adjustment layers IMO. Gimp markets as a photo editor but almost all Linux photographers are using DarkTable at this point.

You think the current US would stop at Canada and Mexico?

Not really if you actually try to match the screen too. Good colour accuracy is expensive. It’s the best part of their products. If someone doesn’t need that then yeah, definitely better options.

Easy to avoid on Macs. Harder on phones for non-technical types. The bigger issue with Apple is I think getting data out of iCloud should you want to do something else. Their proprietary formats and databases (especially for photos) is kind of a nightmare.
