At least you get rid of the spam from a clear karma farmer!

Yes people, I know you cannot see other people’s karma, but the attitude is still the same.

GitHub has nothing to do with this. All the information we have is that the dev himself took everything down after an agreement with Nintendo.

C&D in Brazil stands for Comedy & Despair, where you’re the one laughing at the company desperate to get you to do what they want without having any actual legal leverage

The problem is that people tend to mistake being private to being above the law. You can argue against what law enforcement decides is a crime, but that matters little to service and providers and it’s a another type of discussion

Simply changing the DNS provider is already enough to circumvent it.

So just stop using literally any and everything, got it.

I’ve been hearing pessimism like this for over 20 years and yet all I can see is that piracy is always increasing and becoming even more accessible

Yes I have, but GIMP simply isn’t aimed at the same type of work Photoshop and AF Photo are. GIMP feels much more of a hobbyist tool to quickly make a simple edit and that’s done. And like the other comment said, it has no non-destructive editing at all, which is an enormous dealbreaker for any kind of professional work you might do.

As far as I know it doesn’t, even with Wine/Proton. I mean, you can get it to run, but not properly and it’s very unstable, not usable at all so far.

For most use cases of Photoshop, GIMP is not an alternative at all. For more basic use cases it is, but st that point you shouldn’t be wasting efforts on Photoshop anyways, something like Paint.NET would be the recommended.

The closest we have for any Adobe alternatives are Affinity Photo for Photoshop, but that one is not free nor open source, but it’s a lifetime pay once license. For some use cases of Photoshop and Illustrator you could use Krita, which is FOSS, and for Premiere there’s DaVinci resolve, which has Linux builds and a free version.
