    Gimp is better suited for this role

    Krita is a art focused program

    You also cannot add information to blurted blurred pictures, you can only approximate

      Take 2 people that have not used gimp or krita. Ask them to daw a circle, and see which software they are able to do it in.

      Gimp is a ux nightmare (or at least it used to be i haven’t used ot in years) I will try gimp 3 when it comes out in 2037

    Very strange presentation of Krita, but I’ll take it. The overview of what you’ll be able to do doesn’t actually list anything you can do, and the comic recommends using it to deblur photographs, which is definitely not something I would recommend Krita for.

    I’m surprised that open source technology isn’t used at American universities. My local university only has proprietary software which I guess makes sense because of industry standards, but the reality is learning on open source will be more beneficial in the long run.

      Most proprietary companies will give very steep discounts or even free licences to schools and universities. If you introduce an entire generation of students to your software, students will gravitate toward what they’re familiar with when they enter the “real world”.

      I’m not. Universities aren’t places of open or free learning. They’re deeply invested in capitalism and benefit greatly from intellectual property laws. In fact, most universities function largely as state subsidized pipelines that take people without a viable, real world skill set and turn them into people who still don’t have a viable real world skill set, but who do have a piece of paper telling corporations that they’re able and willing to put up with complete bullshit, general mistreatment, and dull, grueling labor for years without incident. Which is good enough for your typical middle-class wage slave and whatever they might want to do.

      Why show young bright minds free options when you can get more money from them for the rest of their lives with subscription software

    It’s unfortunate how many replys are missing the good part of this and rather respond with criticism and negativity. We can do better than that folks. This is a good thing!

    Edit: IDK why the downvotes, really

    I like seeing the Krita suggestion, but to just call it “open-source” with no clarification on that means would lead me to believe kids would skip over the hyphenated adjective without realizing it is often the key to finding other good, open-source software (e.g. a “open-source alternative to Reddit” query should lead one to Lemmy). I’m hoping it has a section or callout or even a vocab word on another page but I’m skeptical.

    (This is putting aside my quarrels with OSI, FSF, SPDX for the larger picture)

    I will never get over people using software as a countable noun. You mean a software program or a software application, not a software
