Were you using a desktop environment or wm setup? Been drawing with Krita on KDE Wayland every day for two years without any of these issues. Also on M1 and M2 Macs without issues. XP-Pen display.

There’s AI slop websites for everything now. Flood the zone with enough garbage that traditional search engines can’t find anything, force people to use AI where the narrative is controlled.

That is because you already had the dependencies installed on your system. Flatpak can share dependencies as well so if you use a lot of them it doesn’t really make much of a difference. And since it’s bundled together it is great for having up to date apps on distros that are not rolling. Also good at isolating apps with different toolkits from mucking up your system.

AI hallucination probably

Yep. Moved all our lab computers to KDE. Gnome’s community is actively hostile and outright disrespectful to anyone even asking about design decisions (which are way more arbitrary than they like to admit). Definitely interested in seeing where Cosmic goes.

Some QT or Cosmic takes on Pika Backup. The maybe unrealistic dream would be some new non gtk photo dam that ignores editing all together and hands off files as needed to an editor like vkdt. Kinda like Adobe Bridge.

I’m not sure I agree. I did move to DarkTable but the organization side is much rougher than something like Lightroom.

That said I would never go back. Switching to darktable’s scene-referred workflow was almost like switching a chemical process. People looking for a 1:1 with LR or C1 will be disappointed, but darktable’s tools and masks can do so much more than either of them. I feel limited working with LR now. I also don’t use AI at all in my work so I don’t care about those features

Based on what? There is tons of amazing art being produced in every region of the world. More than any time in human history.

You people are fucking delusional. “Human creativity” hasn’t fallen because some venture capitalists push their fake music up a list that doesn’t even mean anything.

Only it fucking hasn’t.

While that posters statement is kinda strong it’s become increasingly hard to separate America and China as a non-American. What ICE is doing doesn’t really look that different than the situation in Xinjiang. And the apathy of the public about it doesn’t seem very different either.

This reads like an AI generated influencer fever dream. Insane1! MPV is a good project but I recently ended up not using it because Jellyfin for video has so many more features- kind of apples to oranges. I can’t imagine an MPV setup would ever approach a Jellyfin/Infuse setup - especially for non-technical family members. I ended up going Navidrome for music because of outside network access and the ability to download music offline which MPV can’t really do to my knowledge.
