Yeah because it’s evil and illegal and stuff, and everyone knows that a illegal stuff needs to be banned by unrelated admins what is an entirely different website.
Yeah. Banned due to liability of the admins getting sued by big corp for hosting. It was really fun reading both sides. Some users pissed and threatening to leave the server. Others agreeing with the decision calling the opposing users whiny and asking why did you even join one of the biggest servers then? 10/10 recommend reading the threads.
yeah, must suck for the world pirates. I am waiting for native transfer of accounts on lemmy.
Pirated Photoshop doesn’t have the AI shit though which is sooooooo good
I just get my work to pay for my Adobe subscription
It doesn’t? Lol
I pirated Photoshop just in case but genuinely haven’t used it more than twice so idk
I stopped using GIMP and started using https://www.photopea.com/. You get most Photoshop features for free (ad-supported) in a familiar interface and without having to install a large slow application.
For some reason I do find GIMP easier to use them photoshop tho
“Software I’m used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with.”
What a fantastic insight.
GIMP being free to just download from their site, and still being used far less (even by novices) than paid or pirated Photoshop really tells the whole story.
The average lemmy user compared to the general public is just far more used to trading away quality to stay with Free and Open-Source Software, to the point of sometimes apparently being blind to the mainstream option’s appeal.
“Whatever I use is objectively better and y’all just blind and an average hivemind bot”
Something being free to download doesn’t help if the paid software is so ingrained into culture, both popular and professional, that it practically has a monopoly. If you want to get work as an artist working with other people, you’ll want to learn the industry standard, not a niche program.
That’s all aside from whether gimp actually is or isn’t better, I just think the argument make no sense.
I am the same. I tried Photoshop and bazillion of tools didn’t help when making a simple picture, while GIMP could do that with relatively easier steps.
Edit: grammar, apologies.
“I don’t have photoshop”
Problem solved
In that case, anon should have just figured out a way to run it before the class started
I see you went to reach schools… Lucky you, mine didn’t even provided toilet paper
Iirc the Education version of Photoshop is free. Schools don’t need to pay a penny for it.
“UMMM what the fuck is that, anon?”
“it’s a great open-source software called mind your own fucking business”
