The economic implosion after that particular bubble is going to be spectacular… Dotcom will look like a road bump in comparaison

If you’re conflating UI and UX then I can’t do anything for you :P

Blender is not that bad, not even close in fact. Have you tried learning it at all? I know I have and per hour spent it’s far more empowering than other comparatively complex software.

You can’t compare a 2d picture editor to a full 3d modeling suite like they’re even remotely close. Blender is better.

Idk, seems like a fun truck to get off roading with, but probably quite dangerous to drive in a city with… Also basically runs on burning money.

Oh yeah Krita is FAR better than Gimp ux wise 100℅

I’ve spent 3 years learning freecad, and it’s bad, it’s entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it’s still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia…

As for gimp… I’ve really tried adding it to my workflow, but it’s been a massive headache, I’d likely use photocraft over it given both options…

Ngl gimp never took off because it’s UX is terrible, plus it’s far from feature complete.

It’s like freecad in that regard, it exists, it’s foss, but it’s massively inferior to the paid options because UX is horrible and it breaks in weird ways.

Foss can be as good or better than non foss, just look at blender or Kicad, but these two aren’t it.

That approach isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, it’ll undercut local businesses (the few remaining ones), and without ID of Nyc residents non-nyc ppl could take advantage of these stores to resell the goods for a higher price…

I’m not sure how NYC is going to sustain the costs as well, more taxes? Capital flight will be a problem. Not a musk fan here, but there’s two faces to this coin.
