Being out-of-the-loop, what did Krita do?

I googled but I can’t find any kontroversy
Show threadgrueMar 1
Krita isn’t affiliated with KDE, as far as I know.
Show threadTjaMar 1
Then use apt or yum or pacman!

I imagine it’s related to how some neckbards on the internet are apparently extremely salty that Krita currently has a “furry” as a mascot, created by Tyson Tan.

Why the fuck wouldn’t Krita have a furry mascot? That’s their entire userbase there.
Show threaddual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️Mar 1
I have no idea. There was some dweeb on this very instance going around spamming a Krita related thread complaining about it.

Thank you people for telling me.

“My God, what are all these furries doing using an open source art program?”

Like, dude dove in the yiff pile headfirst and then had the audacity to act surprised.

The title is just a joke about having “boykisser krita” calling me out and and being angry at that smug face.

I ain’t uninstalling it anytime soon.

Hello, 6 month Manjaro user
Why does everyone hate Manjaro so much? It works just fine (for me at least)
Are there better organization backed easy to use arch derivatives?
Show threadnullMar 1

https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

And that’s not even up to date anymore. They let their SSL cert expire sometime in the last month. Again.

The real problem with it is that it’s an attempt to maintain a “stable"ish downstream set of repos to give an arch-like experience, which is something that requires constant effort and diligence. Things the current devs do not provide.

If they can’t even get automated certificate renewal set up (something that is extremely trivial to do), after years of that being a meme, what else are they not taking seriously?

And at that point, what is the appeal of Manjaro? Why not just use Arch?

Depends on your use case. Manjaro is in the unique position of having such a poor management track record, that almost any other Arch derivative (or, you know… Arch) is preferable. They’ve let their SSL certificate expire for the 7th time just last week I think? I honestly haven’t kept count, but it happened at least a few times. If it works for you, that’s fine. I imagine most reasonable people don’t really care. I personally dislike Manjaro for their poor track record managing their repositories or SSL certificates, their historically stupid approach to the AUR and the generally negative effect it had on Arch linux (tech support. Honestly I think Manjaro benefits most from its popularity in the tech influencer spheres and the fact that most of its userbase doesn’t seem to question if a rolling release model actually makes sense for their usecase.
Show threadNathanUpMar 1
They’ve had a few embarrassing slip-ups that are largely irrelevant to users of the distro. I used it for years and my partner still uses it. It’s a perfectly fine distro.
Show threadBilb!Mar 2

It’s been a few years so it may not be the same nowadays, but when I used Manjaro for a bit it was always just a matter of time before an update broke everything. Probably had something to do with chaotic-aur. It was great otherwise, though. I wouldn’t let it get to you.

Now I use a Fedora Atomic distro, which is like… the opposite of risky upgrades.

Is it about Krita being on steam not for free?

If I’d use krita on regular basis I’d be happy to support the devs. Also, the license is the same.

Show threadquediuspayuMar 1
Why is on steam? To use it on a steam deck?
Show threadAatubeMar 1
so you can pay to support them, just like how goblin tools is on the app store
Show threadEldritchMar 1
Blender has been on steam for years. As have other multimedia and game tools. For platforms like windows, it is one of the best auto update systems widely available.
Show threadKorhakaMar 1
Steam seems a bit of an odd place for it, but I don’t really see a problem with it.
Show threadMonkderVierteMar 1
Wait, so you have to first run Steam to edit a pic? Rather give them a donation i think.
Show threadladMar 2
Most things installed from steam run just fine without steam running
Show threadRustyNovaMar 1
Nah. Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land
Show threadFilthyShroomsMar 1
Whats up with his ears?
Show threadclubbMar 1

It’s meant to look like Krita’s mascot, Kiki.

Take notice of her ears.

Show threadFilthyShroomsMar 1
Cute, that makes sense!
Show threadMonkderVierteMar 1
What ears? I see no ears.
Show threadclubbMar 1

Kiki the Cyber Squirel, often just called Kiki, is Krita’s mascot. We chose a squirrel because “krita” means “squirrel” in Albanian.

The top details are actually her ears. Picture attached in case you’ve never seen a squirrel before.

Whaat, I thought it was swedish where krita = chalk ?

Why not

Because why is it time to uninstall Krita?
Krita is an excellent open source project.

I don’t think OP means it, to be fair. They are being jocular.

Really? What gave you that vibe?

why uninstall it? (do not answer if you are not OP)

Krita is open source wth would you uninstall it?

No, it landed for me. Maybe it was less obvious than I thought.

sigh guess i’ll have to put the mandatory “free as in freedom, not free as in free beer” over here

And still available free as in beer as well.

This is a giant bucket of nothing.

No clue what your issue is, but if your standard for OSS is not being associated with furries, I’ve got bad news for you.
Show threadGhostieMar 1
Furries keep the internet running.
Show threadRustyNovaMar 1

Nah I’m fine with furries. Except the boykisser one (as a joke)

Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn’t land

Show threadVoroxpeteMar 1
So you’re OK with furries as long as they’re not doing gay shit?
Show threadfuckwit_mcbumcrumbleMar 1
This is a good Christian household! The bible said no to boy kissing. But it said nothing bad about dressing up as a fox and fucking your partner who’s dressed as a cow.
