And why would, I, as a developer, spend time on supporting "screenshot-based automation" in a painting application?

That was first tried in 1998, at the Linux Kongress, in the KImp presentation. All links to that seem to have died in the 27 years since then.

Yeah. We need to do lots of low-level stuff, and things related to GPU have changed a lot from Qt to Qt.

To be honest, I still reference my paper copy of the Windows 1995 Interface Guidelines from time to time, when people propose new features for Krita. They are not always useful, but at least they don't change all the time.

Oh, noes... A post that has this in the second paragraph:

"I'll hope you, dear reader, will forgive me for making this a really personal post; a very large part of my life has been tied up with Krita, and it's going to show."

ended up in something "jmix" thought was "self-indulgent".

Well, as Halla, the Krita maintainer, I kind agree. Image manipulation is not a goal. But for animation, we have a very specific goal. What we want to see is someone doing a looney Tunes like hand-drawn animation in Krita. And I've seen some, so mission accomplished!

I, as the Krita maintainer, hereby give everyone the right to verb the trademarked name "krita". Whether it's I "krittered that concept" or "I kritaed that sketch" -- it's fine!

The only thing you cannot do with the trademarked name krita is publish rip-off, spyware-laden versions in places like eBay.

I think my blog is also a pretty good place, albeit probably uninteresting to most if not all people. But it's my place, and nobody else influences me.

How could I stop using them? I never started using plastic cutting boards.

That said, my wooden cutting board is getting to be quite hollow...

Westernized? The creator of the mascot and the artist of the splash screens is actually Chinese...

No, it's still actual, but they don't have a listing the fund.krita.org database because they sponsored us directly.

"managers" -- if there are managers on top of the maintainers, then, yes, it won't work.

We didn't do an update on that, because that post got us into big trouble with inland revenue (Dutch) in 2017...

You can still sideload it, but a phone-suitable UX is going to take a year, or two, three.

Heh. If any of the official Kiki images has a Kiki with melon-sized boobs, _I_ would have melon-sized boobs, and I've only been on HRT for a year and a half, and am an A-cup. (Aspiring to a B-cup, though!)
