  @davidrevoy @davidrevoy Franchement tu es sûr de ne pas vouloir acheter un Mac et ses logiciels ? ça se trouve elle pourrait t'avoir un prix 🙂 @guerdal82 Franchement, j'ai envie de demander à un pote qui a un Mac au taf de me le ramener, prendre la trial de CPS et faire une review video dessus. Comme j'y connais rien, je suis certain que l'UX n'aura aucun sens pour moi et que tout semblera illogique. Mais bon, je préfère investir mon temps dans ce gros morceau qu'est le future épisode 38 🤣 @davidrevoy At least I discovered your beautiful art through this ridiculous mail you got 😬 @davidrevoy to be honest, this just makes me want to learn Krita in order to make a blurry webcomic of my own @davidrevoy Je suis vraiment curieux de connaître la réelle motivation derrière ce message. Car en l’état actuel, je ne comprends pas ce qui motive à dépenser autant d’énergie. Au-delà, je salue le geste d’avoir aligné autant de contre-vérités et d’opinions péremptoires en un seul envoi 👍 @davidrevoy Please tell me you corrected all the typos, grammatical errors and factual errors, and replied in the sweetest and most condescending way you could. @TundraWolf I'll disapoint you; I just quickly replied (after taking a screenshot) : > "lol, big troll!" And archived the message to not be part of my Inbox. Not my best reply, but economic at least. @davidrevoy Some things I learned from this: @davidrevoy Magnifique ce mail et assez curieux l'effort déployé pour tenter de vous convaincre. Chouette heure de réception aussi.  @davidrevoy I like the that the author is totally oblivious to the fact, that Apple invented none of the desktop/icon stuff but basically copied XEROX PARC concepts. @alex Oui, j'ai d'ailleur répondu "lol, big troll!" immediatement, et archivé la discussion. Mais c'est quand même énorme.  @davidrevoy Crazy! It reads like a trolling attempt but we have seen some truly bizarre shit the last few years that i wouldn't put my hand on the fire for it. @davidrevoy I'd still call troll as they knew a bit too much technical background. @davidrevoy The only reasonable response to that is to offer to sell them NFTs of AI-generated art... @davidrevoy setting aside trolling, I can think of it as some sort of “black PR”. you have quite great followers base, so the message will be widespread. maybe the author want just that. but why using so complex scheme, involving you as FLOSS user, idk… 🤔 actually it’s so silly that seems just insane. 🤪 as for a joke, it may be fun, but still rude from their side. on the other hand, why I’m so serious? 😅 @fuzzylynx I know, right? :rblobglare: So many illogical things going on in this email. It almost made my brain going full blue screen. It will probably remain one of the mystery of life for ever. I hope this is in jest lol. Also, holy cow I haven't seen you in a while! I was pretty heavy into GIMP in the early 10s, and was/am so inspired by your work. Warms my heart to see you're still at it, and still using #foss. @alexstandiford Oh, you knew my work then at the time of the Sintel movie and Chaos&Evolution DVD? Yes, I survived more than 10 years of painting with FLOSS :blobcatheart: Thanks for sending a little word about the past day. ☺️ Je connais pas l'univers de la pomme, du coup quand j'ai lu le début : (clip studio) paint, j'avoue que j'ai bien ri ! @davidrevoy "You shouldn't use flaky free* software! Buy into this corporate ecosystem!" *dev sponsored by literally the biggest** processor manufacturer on the planet **sub please check @davidrevoy I saw this in my feed, opened your profile to see if I had seen anything from you and went OMG YOU DID THE DRAGON?? your art is fucking awesome 💕 🤩 @davidrevoy And here I was expecting redemption of some kind after the "but..." in the first line, like some kind of asshole. Nope, just more honest feedback 🙃  @davidrevoy I block people who stan for Apple like that. It's only a matter of time before they start kidnapping people and running "Citizens' Courts". @davidrevoy I‘ll have you know, I’ve been informed before that Apple invented the plug and jack. @chemoelectric I'm pretty sure they also invented the fruit, and named it this way as a tribute. 🙃  @davidrevoy the mouse and all that stuff of legends, wasnt that xerox parc who invented it?  @davidrevoy mmmh Apple just copied Rank Xerox “desktop metaphore” they never created anything really new, as far I know… @John_Livingston If it is, the AI has a new system to inject many mistype (eg 'from'→'frop' ) and use expressions only non native English speaker would use (eg. the "too little developers" , I understand she wanted to speak about the amount of dev, not their physical size).  @davidrevoy She must suffer severe brain damage to not understand that gnu is superior. Please tell her that she needs medical attention right away. @marsokod Exactement, c'est la réponse la plus brillante; et la recherche possible que ça engendrerai pourrai péter une pierre de fondation du raisonement. Mais j'ai simplement répondu à la va vite: "lol, big troll!". J'ai beaucoup moins d'imagination à l'écris que dans mes dessins floues et mal définis à cause de Krita et Linux. Mais c'est parceque j'utilise peut-être Protomail sur Firefox et pas Gmail sur Chrome.   @fabulousfabs I replied "lol, big troll!" as quick I could, but the good answer and brilliant one would have been "Xerox".  "I have opinions and an Internet connection and I am not going to think before I combine them." @davidrevoy Keep up the good fight. Use whatever software you like 🙂  @davidrevoy wow, she really “let you have it”! 😏 Assuming best—though direct—intentions, so many erroneous assertions! I felt shame reading that so, please, accept my apologies in her behalf.    @pipivovott Oh no, I'll never be able to reach this level of sharp graphics and definition with Linux and Krita :kirby_fly: @davidrevoy je trouve aussi que tu dépasses souvent quand tu colories. Je n'avais pas réalisé que c'était parce que tu utilises du mauvais matériel. 🤡 @davidrevoy At least this post actually led me to your profile. And your art is beautiful! Also hope that person finds some better use for their time (no matter with what intention they wrote the mail) :)  @davidrevoy it looks like a joke. I don'tsee the point in sending this by email. Do you often get these ? @aloxe Hey, by email, less than one by month. It's more often from shorter comments or DM on Youtube or Twitter (but happened also here on Mastodon). @davidrevoy @davidrevoy oh, I can't believe this is the mindset some people can even have... I'm at loss of word.  @davidrevoy @TerryHancock I like the bait and switch of ‘why don’t you use a Mac?’ and then kapow! ‘just get Procreate and an iPad.’  @davidrevoy Maybe you could troll them back and reply earnestly and go on to ask about something where you link to the Rick Astley video! @davidrevoy that bash has no complete sense. Feels like they obsessed with CSP and Mac @SF8910 I think no one can really tell, but for sure we all prefer to read it as a high-quality troll. @davidrevoy lmao what the actual fuck did I just read hahaha what the hell  @davidrevoy lil 8 year olds can have opinions on computer software and use Internet freely!? we sure live in a brave new world  @davidrevoy wow, that reads as if somebody had an entire closet full of axes to grind and mistook their dish rag for a whetstone. O_o @davidrevoy That's insane. I genuinely don't envy a position that creates the impression in weird people's mind that you've invited their opinion.  @davidrevoy your drawings are surely gorgeous AND kawai, David. Don't mind and please continue to entertain your vast community. @davidrevoy |
@davidrevoy possible answer, "hello, for the good of humanity can you please not procreate, thanks and goodbye"
