Why do I need a leather fetish to edit photos?

73 comments

Wait until OP learns about LaTeX.
- searching latex on a safe-search-off computer was always a ride.
  
  Some interesting LATEX-related searches:
  latex wrap
  latex confine to table
  latex change orientation
  
  yup. my HS professor did that when he tried to show us how to install it xD
- I allergic to that. Is there an alternative called NiTriL, by any chance?
- It's a mother. fucking. chi!

Why do I need a leather fetish to edit photos?
My favorite kind of jokes are the ones that take me a few seconds to figure out. Bravo, OP.
- Ididnn'd get it...?
  
  There's a photo editing software called gimp that is FOSS. Google gimp suits for more info.
  
  GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) = FOSS Photoshop alternative

When the tittle is better than the meme.

Affinity > all photoshop alternatives
Sorry
- I just checked this out. Seems great, but I was bummed to see they only support iOS, and not Android. Any idea if they plan to extend to Android?
  
  I doubt it happens. They also don't support linux.
  
  They'll never support other platforms. Imagine being forced to purchase a whole system to use a single application.
- How does it compare to PS? After becoming comfortable in PS, I find the work flow in anything else cumbersome and hard to adjust to.
  
  Very rarely do I need to google how to do something
  It's about as close to photoshop as you can legally make a paid photoshop clone

- Isn't Affinity more an Illustrator alternative since it's vector?
  
  Affinity Designer is an Illustrator alternative, Affinity Photo is their Photoshop competitor and Affinity Publisher is an InDesign clone. The company that makes the Affinity products is called Serif. Hope this helps to clarify.
  
  Just like Photoshop it has multiple softwares, Affinity is the brand name. It has a rastor program and and vector program, as well as a third software I think is like light room
- Your use of > rather than ≥ correctly indicates that Affinity is not a Photoshop alternative at all (going by other comments about how it's not even available on Linux).

Definitely read this as floss.
- even better!
  Free
  Libre
  Open
  Source
  Software
  
  Seems redundant
  
  i thought it was licensed

I floss on Saturday
- Helthy teeth 👍
- One day ought to do it! Well done.

what?
- there's a popular free image editing program called GIMP (judging by the post id assume it's probably also open-source). Anyways, if you Google "GIMP" you'll probably see a lot of pictures of leather.
  
  Ah, yeah. The image had me thinking there was some other meaning for FOSS I didn't know about.
  
  Why would I see leather when googling GIMP? I only associate gimp with the FOSS GNU Image Manipulation Progrsm

I only got 1 big tooth so no floss for me

Apparently apple joined the fediverse the other day based on my feed, I don't see anyone slighting them.

What is foss anyway?
- Foss stands for free and open source software.
  You can use the code to make your own fork/version, as long it's also free and open. Or I'm wrong and somebody will correct me.
  
  Free (as in freedom) software bares the stipulation that if you use it, it must remain free. The criteria for being free are 1. You may view the source code. 2. You may edit the source code. 3. You may distribute the source code. 4. You may distribute the modifications to the source code. If you use the software the freedoms given to you are to be payed forward to all subsequent people who use it.
  Open source only says you can see the source code, but it can be used in any closed sources or proprietary program.
  In short. Free software is about ethics. Open Source software is about pragmatics (or so some may claim)

What is FOSS? I'm seriously asking
- Free and Open Source Software
  (free as in freedom)
  
  Sorry, but is free as in beer. As the word FLOSS exist: Free, Libre and Open Source Software.
- Free and open source software is a way of life. All hail the Richard Stallman.

Ableton Live forces me to still use Windows on a machine :(
- Did you try to run it through wine or vm like qemu?
  
  Not personally but it's been done with mixed results. Usually the application on it's own is stable but doesn't work with plugins and who knows about it's integration with USB control and MIDI devices. Depending on your setup latency can be a significant issue and vm can introduce quite a lot. Reaper is my DAW of choice for Linux but Ableton Live is what I enjoy most and make the best stuff in. I don't need a powerful machine for what I do with it though so an old laptop has always sufficed, which works out anyway because I don't care as much if it gets damaged or stolen etc. Just wish I could be a full time linuxbro :(

The fuck is foss?
- Free open source software. Basically, it's free, and you can see and use the code to your liking and even contribute to it. Good for communities, not good for companies failing to produce a similar product with notably better functions.
- Software you can use, inspect, edit and share. Some examples are Firefox, Chromium, (GNU-)Linux, Android (except GApps) and VLC.
- Free Opensource Software
