- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

what is this referring to?
The ArtCraft suite.
Someone has been creating open source clones of the most popular industry standard programs that have been enshitified to oblivion like Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office. They're free and open source. I don't think they're nearly as bad as what the meme suggest. They do work from what I can tell although some features appear to be missing. And since they're open source if anything needs fixed it will be fixed in the future.

I see it as a proof of concept. Whether these products deliver or not doesnt matter. What matters is components within proprietary tools can now be replicated in a fast and effective way.
Not everything from AI is slop. AI in the hands of good developers can be powerful and help make open source projects more productive. It needs careful governance and quality control, but this kind of stuff helps level the playing field as resource limited projects can do more with what they've got.

I have played around in it for a few minutes and so far I'm impressed. The file size is tiny by modern standards. It loads super fast, is responsive, much better than the enshitified crap that is the "real" MS Word from what I can see. It is missing some of the more advanced features but most people won't be using them. What's there seems to be functional enough that a lot of people wouldn't even see a drawback.
I played around with the photoshop clone as well. I'm not 100% familiar with the modern photoshop since I use Krita for most of my needs but I've been able to do a few basic things to test out like drawing, filling, transforming an image, warping text and things like that and haven't found anything broken so far.
I hate AI but anything that pries away the enshitifying grip the likes of Adobe, Microsoft and Autodesk have on the industry I'll welcome.

I might dislike ai, but if that thing ends up taking users away from microsoft, so be it. It's a greater cause
