BlueEther , 10 days ago to Mildly Infuriating in I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

I was usig both in the early 2000's, at that stage there wasn't too much difference in the UIs. Gimp just seems to have stuck (more or less) with mid 2000's design concepts in the UI

BlueEther , 16 days ago to Free and Open Source Software in what's your current linux distro?

I'm currently on Neon on the desktop (and macOS on the mac). On the servers it nearly all debian and a couple of BSDs

Over the last almost 25 years i've almost exclusively ran KDE when not being stuck with windows (for various reasons). Ive heard good things about Arch, but I'm getting far too old to be bothered with a semi-complex install (yes I have run Gentoo for several years, so I think it is an age thing).

thanks, there was nothing about a licence with the original post that i saw

BlueEther , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to Selfhosted in This Week in Self-Hosted (24 May 2024)

What licence are they using? Do you know something everyone else does not?

Just because Llama Group want to control what goes into FreeLlama? Just like every other open source with a leadership?

Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version

If I release project qwtop as open source I still retain ownership of my code and make the decisions about what makes it into the main release; how is this different so far, when we haven't seen the licence?

Or the fact that you have to lay a cable some 9,000km through some of the roughest / windy seas. It's not called the Roaring Forties for nothing

Edit misread your comment
