@doctormo@floss.social Really glad that Inkscape has an AI policy, I'm surprised the backlash ended up with website/social media attacks... attacking an open source project seems pretty low... On the plus side, the updates sound really exciting. The constrain node to path, text on path changes, being able to see when you're in a group/layer, and CMYK obviously all sound amazing.

@adamsdesk@fosstodon.org I agree 100%! Nothing beats knowing you're using software powered by people just trying to look out for one another.

RE: @SusanneDoering@zirk.us

Lots of fantastic quotes "They're colonizing the imagination", "Gentrification of the mind.", "broken instruments still make sound"... The end brought tears to my eyes. Give this a read!

Sharing some old artwork because I don't hate it as much as when I first made it.

It's a randomart, a visual way of validating SSH keys. Except I turned it into an Atari style weather forecast.

RE: @timbray@cosocial.ca

As someone who learned Adobe during a Diploma in 2022, the idea that Adobe used to have a friendly marketing team that did interviews with developers is somewhat unbelievable. The teachers would talk up Adobe as industry standard but behind the scenes, we're all dreading the prospect of the high fees and looking for alternatives.

@CmykStudent Oh I'll try play around with the indexed settings - thanks!

@CmykStudent I've made some 1bit art before, I wouldn't mind a 1-bit mode! I think a lot of illustrators making images in black and white wouldn't mind either. In Photoshop they call this Bitmap mode. It would actually be a very helpful feature, I think a lot of people would appreciate it! It could go in the Mode swap menu (which if I remember right is how Photoshop does it too). https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/adjust-color/color-modes/convert-an-image-to-bitmap-mode.html
