Wow I can’t believe the tech bro that insists on using only Twitter + Discord for his app is a total douche.

Inquisition is pretty good, if you haven’t tried it yet.
Can’t wait for an AI toaster that asks me to prompt it on toastiness levels
They didn’t say “I had a bad experience”, they said “their service is trash”. You don’t get to say something sweepingly false and then hide behind “it was my experience”.
That seems odd. I’ve replied all to more than two people on many occasions.
For example you can’t adjust spacing between paragraphs at all. I think that’s because it’s unsupported in the SVG spec rather than an Inkscape issue, but still. Adding printer’s marks is also a total shitshow.
I will say however that Inkscape vs. Illustrator is the closest matchup of the three Adobe design apps. I like Inkscape and use it whenever I can to avoid firing up my Windows VM.
I couldn’t paint to save my life, so I didn’t know about that aspect. How does Krita stack up?
The only apps I’ve used that come even remotely close are those by Serif/Affinity, but even they don’t have feature parity. They were also just bought out by Canva and will likely become fully enshittified soon.
If you just want to crop and adjust levels, GIMP is fine. If you want to clone stamp or replace backgrounds etc (or of course work with motion graphics) then there’s no comparison. Nondestructive editing has been a huge drawback for GIMP since its inception but they are finally adding that, which is good. I’m not even sure if they’ve added CMYK support. Text editing is also godawful. I could go on, but for real work, it just isn’t the same at all.
People who say they are interchangeable is like saying an e-bike is the same as a pickup truck. If you just need to commute downtown, they can both work. But if you need to move a half ton of crushed stone, they are not comparable.
Time to switch to Linux 😁👍 (there are plenty of Adobe alternatives for it,
Unfortunately this is not really true. I think people who say “just use GIMP” have only ever used PS to open and crop images. Inkscape is also nowhere near Illustrator, and Scribus feels more like QuarkXpress circa 1998 than a viable InDesign replacement.
You might have missed the news, Affinity sold out to Canva.
Oh FFS, I had no idea… Can something not be turned to shit by big tech for once?
I know what you mean — it’s like a 90s design paradigm that doesn’t take current conventions or best practices into account at all.
Yes and it does help tremendously, but I much prefer Krita. What I’d really like is Affinity Photo on Linux, even if it isn’t FOSS…
I think the UI and lack of non-destructive editing is holding it back more than the name, but IDK
Thanks for this - I was doing some reading in the meantime which confirms what you’re saying about power capacity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_electric_vehicle
As of 2010, the best ultracapacitors can only store about 5% of the energy that lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can, limiting them to a couple of miles per charge.
Yeah but I doubt that’s actually the case based on the physics involved. We need fast charging cars way more than fast charging phones.
Could you have a bunch of them and draw from them in sequence?
Never mind phones, what about cars?
The main advantage is generating SimpleLogin email aliases on the fly when clicking in any “email” field. Other than that it seems to work about as well as Bitwarden. I wouldn’t pay extra for Proton Pass but it’s a nice bonus.
If you need more than one domain there’s also a business plan that gives you 3 for less money than the top-tier individual plan.
