Inkscape it’s amazing

Ahh, seven samurai. So damn long but so damn good.

It’s also possible they were aware of both individual titles, and conflated them purposefully to elicit the response it got. Given the OCs responses to some of the comments, I’m inclined to lean into this explanation.

Which is also fascinating in its own right.

My perspective is, I’m happy the tool is being used to harm the financial interests of these awful companies. Adobe is who kicked off the whole subscription craze that swept through every other industry. These greedy assholes even steal all your personal works to feed to their AI machine as a prerequisite for using their tools.

I never understood when people say gimp is an alternative to Photoshop. Gimp is closer to MS paint than Photoshop.

Ahh yes, a third party with absolutely no support in the house. They’d get so much done, even in the 5% chance they actually get elected because the system is rigged for two parties.

Don’t get me wrong. Would love a mamdani or even El sayed (sorry if it’s misspelled, going off of memory) to be placed all over every part of our government. More AOC’s and Sander’s. But we need to make the best short term option, not just help guarantee the win of the fascists by withholding votes or put them on a third party with no chance of winning. We’re not ending this shit hole situation in a single election, so better to make progressive change than let the atrocities continue with full support from the entire government.

If it somehow becomes this asshat vs vance or something, then I’ll still be voting for newsom. I’ll be holding my nose as it happens, but self-serving greed and nastiness wins against outright treason and intent for public harm.

You’d be surprised. I thought the same thing about trump 2024. A lot of people only see newsom as a charismatic anti-trump, And don’t actually see or care about his individual decisions or policies. Which, come to think of it, is very similar to how trump made it in.

I hear you, but don’t let the lack of a perfect solution be the enemy of progress. A one-time tax would still (theoretically) do some good, and not harm anybody. So long as those funds are properly allocated.

If you continue to enjoy either of their work (or that of any other harmful person, be it Marquis de Sade, H. P. Lovecraft, or whomever) more power to you - but just try your best not to fund She Who Shall Not be Named’s warchest.

Absolutely. This is a fantastic reason to pirate certain material. I’m all for paying the owners and creators of materials I enjoy for said material, but there are exceptions.
