#librearts — Public Fediverse posts

The Android app I was using for pixel arting on my phone, has gone and made exporting files a paid feature.

The thing is, I intended to pay the 20€ when I had a bit of money to spare, which isn't now, but this is a dick move I won't reward.

I'd rather use FOSS anyway, so: any recommendations? F-Droid seems a bit dry. Thanks.

Inkscape 1.5 to Use Native File Dialogs! 🥳

It's looking like Inkscape 1.5 is going to use native dialogs! This is great news for non-GNOME users who will no longer be forced to contend with some of the absolutely unhinged UI patterns that come from GTK, such as combination (CSD) headerbars with action buttons on either side of them:

Go have a look at https://librearts.org it's pretty cool. Lots of articles on graphics and audio software in the open-source space.

I turned the vinyl record mockup I made for @davey_tnt (https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/741380430379180067) into a #Krita mockup template! See https://www.pling.com/p/2216569 to download. #design #libreGraphics #libreArts #floss #foss #KDE

While I was initially excited about https://graphite.rs/, I'm worried that prospects for the future of the project are declining. A raster and vector editor with node-based editing is already extremely ambitious; For me, the devs suddenly going all-in on AI, implementing AI image generation before even nailing down boolean operations, signals big issues with focus and prioritization within the project. #librearts #floss #libredesign #graphicdesign

Thanks to #LibreArts newsletter, I just discovered this lovely story about #focusrite support for #linux :

"I just got off a call with them where, beyond providing the hardware, they were inquiring about other ways they could support the development.

Focusrite not only offered to send me any devices I didn't have in my collection but also proposed that for any future product releases, they will do their utmost to send me devices in advance. This means that Linux support could be ready right from the product launch!

Furthermore, they are discussing how their engineering team could better help me to streamline the development process, and eliminate much of the guesswork."
