Krita was started in the previous millenium, too. I've been Krita's maintainer since 2004... If I have to think about what I did with my life, https://krita.org

    Any chance you could drop a tl;dr for those of us who don't read German? Poked around a bit at Wikipedia, but didn't find anything. Also, thanks for all you do with Krita! It's one of the programs that I don't think I've ever not had installed on my daily driver.

      I'm sorry, but it's untranslatable... Both for language and for custom.

        Fair enough, I figured that might be the case but thought I'd ask. Thanks for everything again!

        "he was an utter asshole" is my take on it. See my earlier comment.

  Just read this guy's vita. An entire long life of profit-oriented road rage, always using the law and presumably his connections to go after like everyone else for minor copyright and similar offenses, striving to make this planet a more miserable place for everyone else while raking in for himself. At almost 90 yo he finally got convicted for fraud and rather killed himself instead of going to jail. Not even his high-falutin name is all that real. At some point he tried to get courts deny people the right to even mention the fact that he was not born as a Von And Zu. Christ what an asshole.
