They’re getting there.

AI bros are worse than Hitler

No

I thought they had stopped development? Have t checked them in a decade.

I imagine Gimp users revolting if it ever improves a lot.

Krita is also more of a Paint.NET than a Photoshop replacement.

And UI usability.

Honestly, GIMP is not a good alternative to Photoshop. I know, “it’s free” is enough for many people, but it … just isn’t.

Unlikely, as even NeoMutt (which could improve it) still does it quite manually.

Ah, Graphite. I forgot the name. Thanks!

But multi-account usage in Mutt is really… leaving room for improvement.

I’m not sure whether it could be worse.

Which one could replace GIMP? I might be curious. I saw a few development projects, but I don’t know their current state.

Paying developers to do work definitely helps.

The lead developer of GIMP currently receives about €1,200 per month in donations via PayPal, and the entire GIMP project receives even more via LiberaPay. Admittedly, this is not really ‘their paid job’.

But now I’ve had to listen to open source fans for over twenty years saying that open source software shows that you don’t need a lot of money, just a lot of volunteers to do much better work together. I don’t doubt that (for example) Blender is excellent software, donations or not (they didn’t always exist). But why does this concept fail when it comes to image editing software?

GIMP had almost 25 years to be acceptable. It is still awful to use. Serif’s Affinity was awesome within half a decade.

Must be something with free software that just sucks.

macOS is not really BSD. It uses a Mach-like kernel with some of FreeBSD and OpenBSD in its userland. However, given that Linux and some versions of Windows also use BSD code in their network stacks, it should be obvious that “it uses BSD code” is not the same thing as “it is BSD”.

Technically, WordPress started as a fork.

An asshole

My backup server is the only one of my servers that is located outside Germany. You know, in case the British come again. Or the data centre of my other servers burns down. Or something like that.

Every night, this server receives a (compressed, incremental) backup of the most important data (content and configuration files) from each of my other servers, which I created with Borg.

I haven’t been able to try Linkding on any of my servers yet, as neither OpenBSD nor OmniOS are supported. I would probably like it if it did.
