@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social you can also use #FreeCAD to draw up your house or anything else parametrically, and then export as STL and use #blender to make a movie of it/with it.

FreeCAD has become soooo good!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well it appears as though #youtube has now become a "gated community" the #YT frontends are not working. It prompts a login to prove you're not a bot:(

@LPS - I can get in without any login or botgate, but It's Google so who knows what they are up to. Just like Adobe, MS et all.

@lps @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I had no trouble to download using #yt_dlp, but that might depend on your location. Last year my IP address got blocked from google (search, yt) for a couple of days.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social This post reads funnier with the implication that it's a threat from KDE.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Nothing to replace Audition? Y'all should strategerifically partnershippify with QTractor

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Bro, even YOU guys are suggesting GIMP, meanwhile most people try to use Krita as an image editor cuz of the UI and other issues i can't fully understand.

Is like using a Lawnmower to cut wood.

Edit: I need to clarify that i'm saying that people are using the WRONG TOOL for the job, i'm not saying either of these programs suck.

@kde I had not heard of Glaxanimate before, gonna try it out today!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thanks for this post. It's super helpful! Do you have any suggestions for replacing substance painter? I've been getting by fine with blender and krita. Your kdenlive suggestion was a godsend! 🤩

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Adobe should make no mistake. We have the creative power here.

I will seriously propose the exchange of all Windows installations and commercial software like Photoshop at work with Open Source pendants.
I don't think, it will be accepted easily but at least I can try.

Gimp is not ready and the best alternative is the Windows only intensionally Linux incompatible Affinity Photo.

Just a matter of time before Microsoft do something similar with #recall

25 years ago I proposed to a schoolboard they could save a whopping bill by switching to open source alternatives, indeed dropping the NT server licenses alone would be enough to build and staff one new school per year!

I was told, with a straight face, matter of fact, that "to prepare children for their future means teaching the commercial products we use today."

They then outsourced their IT to a certified Microsoft partner.

And people wonder why I'm no fan of Public Education.

No necessarily a "Public Education" issue. Often it is corporations interfering in public institutions. At the _public_ faculties of computer science unis in Extremadura and Málaga I heard the same. A little probing revealed that Microsoft, Adobe and Oracle were funding labs and researchers, and lavishing gifts on the professors.

@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I was there when Apple descended on academia with deep preditory discounts and even purchasing all wall space on St George subway station to flog their underpowered overpriced sewn-up tight proprietary products.

It was an obvious trap, but few cared. A laptop 90% off? Gee, that's gotta be a good deal…

I ran yggdrasil Linux, some were intrigued by my ability to keep working while a document printed, but not enough to part with their pretty Mac.
