First, many artists I speak to hate Krita. It never works properly and always lags on most PCs. I've tried it myself. It's shit and hates the tablet I use. While I don't draw all that much, at least everything else actually works with it.
Second, the statement "Sai is not really popular in general; it's popular with a very peculiar and particular subset of amateur artists" is false and very arrogant. Yes most amateur artists use SAI because cracked versions of it are easy to download but there are a lot of pro's that still use SAI.
Outside that, most artists are starting to use programs like FireAlpaca, Autodesk Sketchbook, and MediBang Paint Pro, which are all free, or if you have an Apple device, ProCreate which is cheap at $10.
If you want to pay for a paint program, try Clip Studio Paint. It's $50 for the base version but pretty damn good for the price.

EDIT: Actually, follow their Twitter and wait for a sale. It regularly goes on sale for up to half off. It's a steal at that price.

In my personal experience, Krita is more functional than other art programs I've experimented with. Easier to use and it just works. It has better accessibility to features like the mirror tool. Found out how to use it in Krita right away whereas the mirror and selection tools in Sai are an absolute pain in the ass to try and work your head around. GIMP is a convoluted mess as well. FireAlpaca doesn't even appear to have a mirror tool. Krita is the most user-friendly photo-manipulation and digital art program I've ever used. Runs just fine on my PC, though it is a higher-end-PC program. But it was still functional even on my potato PC from the early 2000s. The only complaint is that even after installing new brushes, it's hard to find the right brushes to use.

An open source/Linux neckbeard, Jason Evangelho, is demanding that the constitutional right to bear arms be suspended because of the recent shooting:

Someone points out that he's being irrational and he then claims that more children in the US die from guns than cancer lol:

1564890879204.png


I'm guessing many of the "children" who die of gun deaths in the US are in gangs and he's being purposefully deceptive. Here's what I found from a 2016 report: ("children" are aged 0-19):

"The new analysis, done by the University of Michigan, found that 20,360 children died in 2016, the most recent year in which national data was available. More than 12,000 deaths, or 60%,were from injury-related causes. Motor vehicle injuries led the list at 4,074, but firearms injuries were close behind at 3,143 deaths, or 15% of the total deaths among children.
Homicides accounted for 1,865 of children and adolescent deaths by firearm, suicide for 1,102, and unintentional or undetermined accounted for 126 deaths."

Child cancer deaths US, 2018:

"Although cancer in children is rare, it is the leading cause of death by disease past infancy among children in the United States. In 2018, it is estimated that 15,590 children and adolescents ages 0 to 19 will be diagnosed with cancer and 1,780 will die of the disease in the United States (1). Among children ages 0 to 14 years, it is estimated that, in 2018, 10,590 will be diagnosed with cancer and 1,180 will die of the disease (1). Among adolescents ages 15 to 19 years, about 5000 will be diagnosed with cancer and about 600 will die of the disease. "

So 3560 deaths from cancer.

Edit: As MembersSchoolPizza says below, it's 1,780,
I misunderstood the paragraph. I'm still going to call bullshit on what the Linux sperg was saying however, because he's equating what is most likely gang violence plus suicides with random shootings.

Today on shit nobody asked for, there's a GIMP fork called Glimpse because some soydevs were angry about GIMP being offensive or some shit after reporting campaigns by Mastodon users failed hard and were ignored by the official project. It's supposed to be a rebrand to make it more suitable for corporations and organizations even though as the $63 a month on Patreon shows nobody cares about it.

How is this kinkshaming allowed?

But to be fair, the gimp devs did take it a bit far once:

They basically did what every software project should do when these idiots show up, just categorically tell them to eat shit and die.

Lol, Glimpse isn't a fucking fork, these idiots want to rewrite the whole thing from the ground up.

As if the kind of useless cretins who throw a tantrum about shit like this are capable of creating anything at all.

They want to re-write the entire thing but the only thing they can agree on is changing the UI.

I don't know how they managed to make a worse dev hell than gimp... I thought it was impossible.

Wait, that second "this" is… Larry "Crell" Garfield! The guy that got Me Too'd out of the Drupal community! The subject of my first post on the Farms!

How… ironic? Is "ironic" the right word here? He got kicked out of cons, so now he's contributing to bringing down cons using the same social justice nonsense.

As for Glimpse… I actually think the fork is legitimate. People working for churches or schools or such aren't going to want to use a tool which shares a name with a sexual kink practitioner. And unlike the hoopla over "master/slave," it's a brand of one product, not a historical term of art. I can't get myself too worked up over it.

I'd argue the bigger issue is that GIMP just isn't very good to begin with. It's always had the reputation of a third string Photoshop clone, a clone so mediocre that most of it's intended use demographic ends up pirating Photoshop anyway thus harming adoption.

I don't think it lacks power, it's just limited by its obscure, often perverse user interface and steep learning curve to the point that learning to do even basic stuff in it takes more time than learning to use something like Photoshop barely competently enough to do a broader range of stuff.

Eh, I used to use it exclusively in my broke college days, and it works well enough, I think. And if you're not using macOS or Windows, Photoshop isn't an option in the first place (save for using WINE or the like, which is a crapshoot).

And it's not really like Photoshop has an amazing UI to start with. It's just familiar.
