I’m going to be honest, I have no idea how open source works. I can’t imagine maintaining anything more than a tiny library that I can ignore six days of the week.

Also: open source relies on good jobs. You can only do it if you have a well paid low stress job with good hours. Those have been in short supply recently.

I think the free time covid gave, followed by the free time the layoffs gave, and AI have been patching / hiding the fact that the core model of open source is completely unsustainable in its current state.

I’m not familiar with libre sprite, but I will say this editor has a pretty simple baseline, at least for now. Progressive enhancement

There’s soft serve but it doesn’t have a UI

I do want it at least clonable over https

Radicle doesn’t support windows

Interesting, though this seems to only be a UI, not a server

To echo my other answer, I’m sure I could get it running, I just dislike using tools that are significantly more complex than I need.

It seems designed for like teams of people. They both have like admin interfaces, which I can’t ever imagine for my use case.

I don’t know a ton about Gitea, but I’ve recently starting looking for a simple git server + decent web UI

Gitea and Forgejo are the main recommended ones, but they both seem overly complex. (3D File previews?? Who needs that?)

Maybe based on location? idk. It said from the start “after we verify your info”, I didn’t realize they literally wanted pics. I kinda stopped after that, but there seems to be no way to cancel the order, so I’m just letting it sit until it expires.

I tried OVH, prices seemed great… up until they asked me to verify my info with a picture of a government issued ID.

What the fuck.

The reason you haven’t heard of it is it used to be a unknown pixel editor and then then dev went on crack and decided to turn it into a “universal 2d graphics editor”

And well … It worked so I’m not criticizing.

Supporting apps out of sheer spite for gimp is certainly one business model

Graphite is also super interesting, but every time I’ve used the raster (brush) tool, it’s been unusably laggy. Idk if that’s the web stack or something else, but if they can improve it, I’d def want to try again

Oh sick I was looking for something like this. Hopefully can replace wisprflow

That’s not the issue here. And that relies entirely on them being implemented well.

Just like the web

Half the changes in Linux are also editing random config files, so it’s about the same

I don’t see how being good with computers helps

Tbh it kinda is, because the browser gives the end user more control, since you have extensions and access to the underlying html. You can get around most stupid UIs with little effort, but on desktop you’re doomed

You can. I’ve had it off for years. It just needs a registry update, and persists across updates.
