  @davidrevoy seriously, wtf? Also #Apple pirated most concepts from other companies like #Xerox and to this day #Linux wasn't successfully sued for "Software Patent 🤢 :vomit: Infringements"...  @davidrevoy "iNdUsTrY lEaDiNg SoFtWaRe" 👀 I'm starting to get a bit allergic to this phrase. I did get a good chuckle from the email though. Oh, my sweet summer child, go touch some grass. 😂 @davidrevoy Ok, this got me interested in your (great) art :-) I still don't get how to read/digest this mail, I don't even get the purpose. @davidrevoy @davidrevoy

 @davidrevoy As someone who has used macs for a long time: What an ignorant utter knob.

@davidrevoy Nan mais là c'est tellement too much que même un troll a l'air subtil à côté. Je verrai bien une expérience douteuse avec un texte généré automatiquement comme l'a suggéré @il .Ya une telle accumulation de reproches basés sur du vent que ça me paraît difficile que ça soit 1er degré. Ceci dit, t'as du faire la journée de la personne en question en publiant sa missive ;) @davidrevoy I am choosing to believe that, while many people do believe one of the many factually incorrect statements in this email, no one can possibly believe them all at once. Therefore, it's satire/parody. As such, you should interpret it as the highest praise for your work. They clearly adore what you're doing and admire you for choosing the tools you use. @davidrevoy using a DSLR camera must make you an industry leading photographer, owning a Lamborghini makes you an expert in racing, and a speedo will qualify you for Olympic swimming. That was a lot of effort to blame your tools for them to say they don't like your work... Keep positive in the new year! I always enjoy seeing what you're working on!  @davidrevoy This is like that meme where it's a step by step guide to looking like a clown. @davidrevoy I almost had an aneurysm when they said Apple invented the desktop metaphore, but then I realized it's likely all a ruse. My blood pressure is still sky high, though.   @davidrevoy This is the kind of email that I expect to include a referral link of some kind. It reads like they're trying to sell you something, or get you to provide credit card information. @davidrevoy Faut pas s'en faire : franchement, passer tant de temps à faire un message comme ça, c'est indirectement un signe de respect pour l'artiste (car à quoi bon convaincre "quelqu'un qui n'aurait pas de talent" de changer d'outil informatique ?). @davidrevoy Shame she can`t open up and say what she really thinks; maybe even give you an insight into her prejudices. 😂 🤣 @davidrevoy I'm going to say that this is a psyop against apple and propietary software disguised as trolling. it explains the encrypted email @davidrevoy Don’t worry, mediocre software and a cobbled together OS is good enough for your mediocre art. Don’t get your grubby hands on these shiny Macs, it would be such a waste….. @davidrevoy "Hi, your art sucks, why not do your crappy art on this platform instead; then you can be crappy with greater ease." I think this person should not try to apply their skills to a marketing career... @davidrevoy I'm sorry, but this sounds like it comes from someone absolutely clueless. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. This is not an acceptable thing to say to an artist! @davidrevoy I would also suggest using industry-proven social networks in the future instead of posting on these half-assed weirdo alternatives? @davidrevoy Damnit, David! Change everything about what you like, the tools you use, and everything about yourself! Isn't it obvious that this very opinionated individual is clearly right? They obviously know who did what when which, as I understand it, is what the kids call "bringing the receipts." @davidrevoy Thanks for sharing David, gave me a good laugh!😁  @davidrevoy I just love the opening: "I just wanted to say that the story in your work sucks. Oh, and the art style? Yeah, it's also bad." This is just.. beautiful. (Hope you're ok and you didn't take that personally!! x) @mayday :blobcatheart: Thanks! It's ok. It always does a little something at reading this type of hard words with my coffee at a cold boot of the computer after painting and writing a big part of the night.  @davidrevoy also: love your art :BlobhajHeart: @davidrevoy @davidrevoy I am a HUGE FAN of #Bluury #art , please thank the author of that email for the tip! I'm now your Number One Blurry Foolooweer! @davidrevoy @davidrevoy omg, send them an invoice for a macbook, an ipad pro, apple pencil, and software licenses for clip studio paint and procreate  @davidrevoy open source is all about the streams of thankful emails and oceans of cash that wash up on our desolate shores to complete our dried up husks of souls.  @davidrevoy there must be a story behind this. What would compel a normal person to send such an email? @sooz Unfortunately, I tried to engage a bit in the discussion (asking if it was a joke) and it outraged them. Got more links, and things in the same vein as here. So, I'm afraid it was for real... 😔 Because they repeated sending emails, I decided to block their mail in my filter settings.  @davidrevoy Yeah, those stupid studios like Pixar and Disney need to stop using Linux! Think about how much better their movies would be if the artists would just use macs.    @davidrevoy Someone's ignorant of a few facts. For one thing, Douglas Engelbart would like a word about the mouse… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse#Engelbart's_first_%22mouse%22 … and wasn't Apple's userland cloned from #FreeBSD? Hmmm. Pot, meet kettle… @davidrevoy that is just brilliant!! It HAS to be trolling on a monumental scale :) It is well done  @davidrevoy this lady don't know the glories of being able to rm -rf / just saying... Windows UAC wouldn't let her exercise her rights!!!! @Super_Pieton En fait, et après quelques jour de recul, la même personne a envoyé pas mal de mails d'insultes et d'harcelements, autour des figures visible de Krita. C'est fait aussi banir des canaux IRC et du forum pour propos toujours plus fort. Le but n'était pas de convaincre pour Apple, le but était simplement de faire mal. Chacun a eu un charabia personalisé.On pense au final a une ado frustré d'avoir un bug sur sa version sur Android et pas savoir comment gérer autrement que par la haine. @scardracs We still don't know: she also after this email did the same to other Krita contributors (but each time that was with another theme like announcing a fork of Krita and with technical non-sense, or insults) and managed to get banned from Krita-Artist forum and IRC channel. Her unique goal was to hurt the people. We think in the end (without being sure) we had a teenager not being able to cope with a frustrating bug, probably on her Android device (she spoke a couple of times about it). @davidrevoy that’s really sad. I used Krita few times and I think it doesn’t have anything to envy compared to paid products. en-US: As a #FreeSoftware activist, this reminds me of Duty Calls (386) from #XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ pt-BR: Como um ativista do #SoftwareLivre, isso me lembrou de Duty calls (386) do #XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ Well, now that it’s clear you are doing EVERYTHING wrong, what do you have to say for yourself? That shitty letter actually brightened my day. 😂😂😂  |
@davidrevoy Let's crowdsource a scathing response. I'll start
"Thank you for this fairly impressive cross section of a marble cake of arrogance and ignorance, the most infuriating combination. [...]"
