@[email protected] @[email protected] happy to see glaxnimate officially promoted by KDE.

I have been searching for good alternatives to AE and Premiere for a while now. I have messed with DaVinci a few times, but always bounced off. Any suggestions. Bonus points if anyone can point me in the direction of a Lightroom alternative.

@[email protected] @[email protected] This post reads funnier with the implication that it's a threat from KDE.

Y'all dont block all the .exe files with your firewall? I been doing that for years. I anticipate being stuck with the near current version of Photoshop I have now. An update never occurs, but thats okay. Ive got windows update disconfigured and blocked, too.

Ive found that originally, updates actually fixed problems, but it seems for the last few years, updates only benefit the company and not the user. They are either trying to reinvent the wheel, increase data mining, restricting access in the name of better services, to gear up towards changing to some bullshit form of a subscription service (again, to provide you better services! Better for them...)

And, sometimes, updates just straight up break things. I've soured to allowing any updates when things are already working smoothly.

Only problem is that by disabling all windows updates, you don't even get security updates, which on windows, is more critical than anywhere else, from where I am sitting

@[email protected] @[email protected] Bro, even YOU guys are suggesting GIMP, meanwhile most people try to use Krita as an image editor cuz of the UI and other issues i can't fully understand.

Is like using a Lawnmower to cut wood.

Edit: I need to clarify that i'm saying that people are using the WRONG TOOL for the job, i'm not saying either of these programs suck.

YouTube would be smart enough not to advertise Adobe creative cloud in the pre-roll ads of this video, right? Right???

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

@[email protected] @[email protected] well it appears as though #youtube has now become a "gated community" the #YT frontends are not working. It prompts a login to prove you're not a bot:(

@kde @[email protected] @darktable don't forget #darktable for your raw photo editing needs!!

Synfig Studio is a powerful tool for creating film-quality animation using vector and bitmap artwork.

Confidentiality agreements REALLY mater to big companies. Once they're made aware that Adobe does this they'll either kick up a fuss so Adobe won't do it to them or switch programs. We've already seen people break Ai in plenty of ways, I wouldn't out it past people to figure out how to break the Adobe one to show original artwork for confidential projects at some point. We'll see how it goes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, big companies might care, depending on how they see this as a security issue. If they don't, then it's doesn't matter. It's all up to them.

I don't think it would be possible to show original artwork. Highly unlikely.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's what people said about original prompts for text Ai bots but we've been able to get some from a couple popular ones.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Don't forget Darktable to fill-in for Lightroom!

@[email protected] @[email protected] Thank you. I was actually just looking for a 2D vector animation program.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Glaxnimate really needs some love, though it's pretty powerful.
