“Yeah, makes sense. You know how hard it is to draw a perfect circle? How about you try it then, asshole? Didn’t think so. Now pay up!!”

  • Canva sales team, probably
[–] Fuzzypyro@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Draw.io. Has its downsides but they are perfectly acceptable considering how bad everything else is.

It’s nit picking but compatibility is sometimes not guaranteed with certain asset packs/features that seem to be shipped by default across certain versions. It kind of comes with the whole “hey, when you view the thing please view it using this url” aspect which is fine generally but there are always those outlier situations. Like I said though. Total nit picking.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 81 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why use Canva? What are you doing on this that can't be done for free in other applications elsewhere?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dunno about op, but at my work it's used because of its ease to share and have several people work on the same file

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's fine if your work pays for it. That's why I have Spotify and Notion, for instance.. Why would I pass on free stuff?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why does your work pay for Spotify? Just a perk?

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

Yes, just a perk

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Not a helpful take TBH.

Canva is crazy easy and convenient. That's what they built their business on being.

People can complain about the products they like getting worse, that's how change happens, that's how people get motivated to make alternatives....etc

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 16 points 2 days ago

Not a helpful take to ask a question? Wtf are you talking about?

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This sounds like an AI generated response. How is this more easy or convenient than the hundreds of alternatives that already exist?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

How is this more easy or convenient

It's especially tailored for recreating common designs like leaflets, artsy resumes, quick video presentations, etc. It doesn't require much technical knowledge and kind of walks you through it. It integrates everything well from easy templates, a vast library of shapes, a friendly/focused interface, and has many functions for common tasks. This is not an ad--it's literally what they do. lol If you know of any OSS that does all this, I'd love to hear it.

Yes, you could do that all with the classic Photoshop/Photopea/Gimp but it won't be fast, you'll need to learn it first, it won't be convenient, it might not be free (unless?... 🏴‍☠️🦜) and you're likely starting from scratch.

This sounds like an AI generated response.

Don't be rude, please.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Wasn't trying to be rude, that comment was worded in a way that seemed like an LLM.

Anyway, thanks for explaining Canva. I assumed it was just an image editor. That does seem to fill a niche. Still lame that a circle is an upsell but I can see the appeal of the app.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, most LLMs I've used tend to use phrases like TBH and ...etc.

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What is the point of saying that a response sounds like an AI generated response?

It's just a generic insult.

Your mother smells funny, and you're wrong.

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We've reached the point where LLMs contribute just as valuable a response as the lowest common denominator human internet commenter. This makes some people spooked so they neurotically second guess every comment that sounds slightly off. Its hard to tell organic farm fresh human trash vs GMO LLM trash unless youve spoken with enough language models to know the subtle quirks. Also this is lemmy so yeah LLM bad

http://photopea.com/ has everything I need without any sign ups.

Canva bought Affinity. The more I know about them, the more it stresses me out.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I will have to wait out for the free trial to expire ig

New Minecraft monetization just dropped.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Looks like you're out of flags. Would you like to purchase 10 more for $2.99?

EDIT: My brain read Minesweeper. 😂 Oh well, I'm leaving it.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Do you use your flags? I… don’t. At least on mobile. It’s too big of a hit on time

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

It looks like you’re trying to mark a mine that would create a circle. This is available in our premium tier for only $13.99 a month.

Luanti is slowy growing one step at a time

Ligma too - in response to the company charging for circles.

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Visio is similar in that the lowest plan doesn’t let you use many of the built in shapes.

You can add them yourself as images but loads of useful shapes for a network diagram, for example, are missing making it very inconvenient to use (I’m now using draw.io).

I can understand limiting certain functionality (like only having a web UI) but not making basic tasks unnecessarily difficult.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago

Shit like this is why i still run office 2007.

[–] spireghost@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

I mean, it's free. For the longest time they were great. Though, It even looks like if you scroll to the right, you can make a circle just fine

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Doesn’t windows still have paint?

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can no longer choose the shapes, AI hallucinates them for you. If they don't fit your desired shape you can pay-per-side-polygon to have a fixed number of sided shape added. mS pAInt

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So circles are a subscription as they have infinite sides?

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

You catch on too quickly.
