I mean, even those old iPhones have better software support than a lot of low-end/budget Android phones. The iPhone 11 still has iOS 17 and will probably get security patches for another year or two (assuming it gets dropped with iOS 18, maybe Apple will try pushing it another year).

GIMP is not a Photoshop replacement except for pretty basic stuff. There’s no content aware fill, fewer non-destructive edit options, wonky compatibility with PSD files, etc.

Darktable also isn’t a real replacement for a lot of use cases. Lightroom (the non-Classic version) has pretty great cloud syncing and multi-platform apps, so you can do some work on a desktop and then move to a tablet/smartphone or vice-versa. Darktable doesn’t have that kind of flexibility.

Those aren’t drop-in replacements. GIMP for example doesn’t have anything close to Photoshop’s content-aware fill capabilities, I don’t think Krita does either.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but last I checked the Creative Cloud manager/installer for Adobe apps doesn’t work on Wine, because it uses the windows system webview that Wine hasn’t fully replicated. Only pirated copies or installations copied from a Windows machine work.

Photoshop and Lightroom.

Super Tux Cart is always a good time

I had some fun going in 2018 with friends, but it definitely felt like a theme park with lines everywhere for demos. Maybe there’s room for something to take its place focused on those demos or community events, rather than announcements that most visitors couldn’t attend anyway.

uBlock Origin has a Manifest V3 version, it’s not going anywhere. I swear there are more people not reading anything here than Facebook.

This is actually about Daylight Savings Time

There are some useful APIs that Firefox is missing compared to Chromium, like Web Share or Web Bluetooth: https://caniuse.com/?compare=chrome+117,firefox+117&compareCats=CSS,HTML5,JS,JS API

If I’m thinking about projects that could benefit the most from an exponential increase in active developers:

• Wine/Proton (could have a fantastic windows runtime on every *nix platform)
• ReactOS (lot of potential for a windows 7/10 upgrade path)
• Mozilla Firefox (would help with API parity with chromium)
• GIMP (but only if they agree to change the stupid name)

The rest goes to package managers and other lower-level projects that don’t get enough of a spotlight, maybe Brew or Curl or something.
