went take a chance? ammo maybe cheaper than eggs in the US these days.

win-win, you say

the one you recommended

thanks, the UI is better now

ok then tell me how I can fix GIMP’s UI without coding.

“Just build a platform for designers”

did it feel weird when you emphasized a word that I specifically didn’t say in your quote? there’s strawman, and there’s straight up lying. and your suggestion for how I should have worded it is pretty much what I said. it’s so funny, is the issue that I didn’t use enough uwus and 👉👈 emojis? lol.

that’s fine but there should be less defensiveness about people criticizing the design then

I think there’s been lots of improvements to various small things to make that accurate. but adobe does love to regress in lots of different little ways as well.

I need to muster the energy to make a video about the affinity lineup. they have a number of new tools and features that didn’t exist before but are certainly improvements.

dude it’s not my fault you’re on an entirely different book, let alone the same page

I knew someone would make this comment but that’s kind of the point. rc cars are toys after all, and it’s fine as a hobby but if professional driving would be better with twin sticks I feel like motorsports would have already adopted it.

that’s a bad interpretation.

• no I’m a designer, which is why I’m talking about design
• yes it is
• no, devs are devs and designers are designers. I think it would be nice for designers to have more opportunity to contribute to open source projects
• having a solution is a bit generous. I just said having an easy to use platform for designers would make open source projects more approachable.

and to your words:

• I’m shitting on the design, not the devs. stop personalizing criticism it’s a terrible way to live and work.
• if I could I would

Nowhere do I say “designers should write code”.

except for literally the very previous sentence. of course you don’t realize that because you somehow assumed I’m a dev despite my comments being entirely about design and even implying that I don’t even know how the fuck git works

Are we on the same page now?

clearly not

so the comment is about how I might not realize that creating such a platform is hard when my comment says I don’t even understand how git works. weird. nowhere in the history of language has “there should be such a thing” meant or even implied “making such a thing is easy”, if anything it implies the opposite.

genius reply. i love that in the same comment where you say devs can’t be design gods you say designers should make an entire software platform.

and no, they’re not supposed to be design gods, which is why I said there should be a platform that enables designers to contribute, which would take the burden off the devs. words must be hard.

dude if your ui is unusable you’re gonna hear about it.

you can’t make an open source car that has two joysticks instead of a steering wheel and talk about industry standards and vendor lock ins when people say it sucks.

I mean it’s cool that it exists for non drivers who sometimes want to jump on an open source car for a quick trip but if driving is your job then the joysticks being technically functional won’t cut it.

that doesn’t mean you have to copy everything 1:1, if people are looking for alternatives one reason might be that not everything about the standard car is great. affinity has some great differences in tools but they’re designed in a way that makes sense to pro users.

I’ve said this before but there’s a severe lack of designers in the open source space. there should be a platform that enables designers to relatively easily contribute to open source projects without learning git or whatever the fuck.

no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasn’t going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I don’t need reddit.

1. who said anything about success, that sounds needlessly defensive
2. are you pretending that more people using linux wouldn’t be beneficial for linux

so first there was no gatekeeping but now gatekeeping is good, actually. brilliant

the post is literally about gatekeeping what the fuck are you even taking about

gatekeeping always helps with conversion rates, keep it up 👍

I was talking about the comment you responded to. seeing colonizers kill and torture innocent civilians and calling “humans” cruel is either both sidesing a genocide or not counting the victims humans in the first place, because they’re obviously not being cruel here.
