unveils LibrePhone

aims to create a fully free and open mobile platform

So it doesn't actually exist? I cannot find any information about it at all.

Cue my lack of surprise when they realize there are no 5g compatible basebands with open firmware, and you can't practically make your own.

I will be even less surprised that they probably won't support 5g at all.

Actually they're smarter than you... they know they don't need to brainwash every single citizen, only the ones gullible enough to fall for it, which is the vast majority of the population.

Only even 5% of the world population has objectively good computer skills according to OECD.

Are we not even going to talk about how many of their sites/wikis are filled with fake/misinformation and go to great lengths to document completely non-existent things in a way that isn't always obvious to outsiders?

Some, examples, here, however there are many examples that make absolutely no mention that anything listed is actually a "fanon".

what the gimp haters are always so mad about

You have to use a plugin to even draw a circle properly.

You can't make non-destructive changes to things like filtered elements e.g. make blurred/outlined/etc. text and then change the text.

Content-aware functions

big whoop

Just how different it is from Photoshop is literally the biggest complaint people have. And that it's just unintuitive to many even if you never used photoshop. For gimp to propel in popularity I think it has to become more familiar to what professionals are used to.

I don't think the name is why it isn't used so much. I think it's because it's un-intuitive and almost incomparable to non-destructive/parametric professional programs. You can't even change text after applying a style... for many, things like this makes it practically useless for real work.

Someone already tried to fork GIMP in order to change the name (Glimpse)... it didn't work and they gave up.

upgrades don't give them license fees, they want you to buy a new pc.
