The thing to do with a sprouted potato is to put in the soil, and then after some time, you've got two kilos of potatoes that taste just slightly different than the potatoes from the original bag, but are just fine anyway. Doing this i

I was twelve when I got mine. We first had a 16k spectrum on loan from the primary school where my mom was a teacher -- together with a hefty course in Informatics from the Dutch LOI training school. When the little chap had to go after a m

The stupid pandemic has made that impossible for us for quite some time, but our current workflow of having artists discuss stuff on krita-artists.org with developers listening, then making a plan and then working on works quite well for us

Pity the license makes it useless. No free or open source application can integrate it.

My wife actually buys her clothes from places like Aloria or Celtic Web Merchant, where you can get good, solid cotton and linen dresses. These can keep going for many, many years. But the medieval style doesn't suit me. I want to show

When I was still going through life as a man, I had two dozen white dress shirts (12 short, 12 long sleeved...), three pairs of pants, a suit and summer and a winter jacket. The shirts would still be fine after wearing and washing them a hu

Of course it costs money! Even my own "huh, this is weird, anyway, we don't collect any data, so let's tell them to eff off" cost me time, and therefore money, so, invoice time it is.

I invoiced them for the time they made me waste...

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

Nah, the change was mostly because painting is what I'm most interested in, and I was -- and am -- the maintainer :-)

Heh,those were "fun" times, and they even predate my own involvement!

We sponsor Ramon Miranda, a professional digital artist and art teacher, to create the content for the Krita youtube channel. (Not sure why that post didn't have a reply link...)

Layer->Split Layer got some love for this release, too, but I'm not sure whether it even made it into the release notes.

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/en/about/krita-releases-overview/ com

They were written by pretty much one person, who also fixes bugs, maintains the manual and help out the maintainer -- me -- with any tasks needed. We usually start the release notes for the next major version right after we released a major

Clip Studio still has a number of features we don't have yet, but we're regarding it as our main competitor. Now 5.0 is out, we will start looking at fun features again, and we've already made a little list of things CSP has

When I was a teen, copper and tin were too expensive, and I was a bright, precocious teen sculptor. So picture eleven, twelve year old me melting lead in a crucible, taking the crucible in flaking asbestos gloves and pouring it into my cast

You don't? It's crystal clear to me: that book was paid for, as was its sequel, so industrialists could argue that statistics from independent researchers were not to be trusted. Whether or not the book was right or wrong is not p

If Apple gave me 120k a year and made a merge request for a Metal backend for Krita, I wouldn't say no to either, being Krita's maintainer.

In my case, because the typography (except for some very obnoxious excceptions) is always the same. Same font, same font size, same margins, just different text. A book cannot distract me anymore through mediocre or awesome typography -- th

Well, I cannot look in their mind, but they're not the maintainer of Krita, I am :-). Here's our current vision statement: https://krita.org/en/item/kritas-updated-vision/
