Hard to see how this comment isn't engaging in whataboutism. Original poster is from Ukraine, a country that is, at present, actively being invaded by Russia, not from Middle East or Africa.

#82Re: Krita: A professional free and open source painting program
#83As a long-time user and supporter of Krita, I'm thrilled to see it mentioned here. However, I must express my concern about the choice of emphasizing "FREE" in all caps in this headline. While I understand that the cost-free nature of open-source software is certainly appealing, I feel that this particular framing could cheapen the overall value proposition of Krita. Krita has much more to offer than just being free.…
"“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish wo…
As a huge fan of GNU and the idea of Free Software;
It might be time to lead with Libre? This rather unfortunate ambiguity causes SO many problems.

#84Digital painting was a skill to learn on my bucket list. Emphasis on "was". Within the last 6 months all of that has changed. I no longer value digital painting as a skill. It's easy to see why based on everything's that happened in the news. I'm sure a lot of people share my sentiment.
You can still do digital painting while you are in a plane or taking a trip, just because AI advances in this space has made a lot of strides doesn't mean you necessarily have to give up on doing something.

#85I used to use Gimp for photoshop type operations but it's become unusable for me due to slowness, even with a M1 native build. No idea what's up. Tried Krita and it works great
I use photopea for the simple stuff
Photopea is pretty darn good. Especially if you are or have been a Photoshop user.

Even though I don't deny there's clearly a tradition of depicting feminine characters at various levels of sexualisation, c'mon, this mascot is in full-body armour/exoskeleton and a dress over it (or maybe it's an android in a dress)!
Look, this child mermaid on the Photoshop splash screen[1] has no clothes beneath the waist. Is it NSFW too?

#87Genuine and serious praise for not insisting on sticking with an absurdly embarassing and arguably problematic name that would be likely to hamper adoption for quite some time, unlike a certain other free and open source painting program.

This is entirely unrelated to Krita, but on the "free beer" mention: I had heard free as in beer, and also free as in puppies. But two that I heard recently and loved that make different points: Free as in mattress, and free as in piano.
There's also free as in Jazz, but we're digressing quite far from the topic here.

#90I love that they are also selling the software in stores (MS, Steam, Epic). You don't get anything extra apart from the automatic updates but it's certainly a nice way to get people to pay for your FOSS project. Back in 2019 they mentioned that "Krita has gone from 2 to 4 full-time developers over the last 10 months, and Steam has been instrumental in raising the funds to make that possible" https://old.reddit.com/r/…
