It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won’t let people say “no” to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new “features”, only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They’ll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn’t really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.
Why use that corpo crap to begin with.
Because not everything has an open source alternative.
Especially when it comes to hardware
When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation
Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
My boy, why not consider a more challenging career?"
Heaps of stuff that’s positioned as the “alternative of X” feels like garbo. For example when I’m forced to use Pinta editor / GIMP over Photoshop when I’m using Linux. I get the expectation can’t be to have feature parity but some of these alternatives feel really poor
Well, to be fair, Pinta is a clone of Paint.NET, not an alternative to Photoshop.
You also don’t like Krita?
Never even heard of it, I’ll have to give it a go 👍🏼
Ya I use it all the time. It’s a different beast from gimp. To me it felt easier for drawing.

It definitely felt like an improvement over gimp to me when it comes to drawing. In fact I also use it for editing now, but I imagine gimp might be better for that.
