Most of what you just said about Word (tooltips, keyboard shortcuts, icons, programming environment) is also true of Blender. But I don't really know what the equivalent of "just type some text" would be in Blender.

As in, you've never heard of it and suspect they've just made it up, or you're aware of the concept but have an unorthodox opinion about it? It's a very pervasive concept among UX people. If the former, try googling &quo

I don't think either Gimp or Blender have bad UIs at this point. Historically though, I think they've had opposite problems. Gimp has tended to just do the minimum to make the UI just about work with no regard for efficient/p

I've been using Blender for a while now, and I actually miss its UI features in other apps now. I would agree that it's very unconventional and immediately baffling to new users, but not that it's "objectively god awful&

They have money to pay developers, which differentiates them from the vast majority of OSS projects. Obviously that's not all there is to it, but I'm sure it makes a huge difference.

I think Blender is primarily developed by people who get paid to work on it. I don't think I'd object to the comment if Blender actually had a bad UI, but I don't think it does. It just has an unusual UI and a steep initial

This looks a bit like (but also slightly different from) modeling with metaballs in Blender.

Signal has reproducible builds, which means you can build it from source yourself and confirm that the result is exactly the same as what you got from the app store. Obviously not many people actually do that, but it means google can't

I guess it means you still get 12-bit tonal range even if you're four stops underexposed.

Auto-destructive art is kind of misnamed though, I think. It's generally art created through destructive acts, rather than art that destroys itself.

Realistically, you can find out who he is by looking at his Wikipedia page. It's "unconfirmed" because there hasn't been an "official" confirmation, and his anonymity makes for a better story.

If you buy into the story that Bitcoin is the future and your fiat currency is headed into oblivion, which is fairly orthodox on Bitcoin forums, then it starts to seem like a more sensible, conservative choice.

I think the issue there is that in order for "act like a woman" to be meaningful, you have to have a somewhat fixed notion of what womanly behaviour is, which is hard to disentangle from sexual stereotyping. At least if you apply
