It still exists. It just isn't that popular.

Not when it comes to video/image/vector editing. DaVinci Resolve, Adobe and Affinity are still miles ahead of FOSS creativity tools like The GIMP.

Try Krita, Darktable, Scribus and Blender.

You're comparing household name with household name. Commercial software has a marketing budget, but free software spreads more by word-of-mouth (or association with a big and processional organisation like GNU), so that's an apples-to-oranges comparison. GIMP isn't very good, as free software image editors go: Script-Fu, plugins, or UI familiarity are basically the only reasons to choose it these days.

Is there any feature in Krita, Darktable, Scribus, or Blender, which Adobe products do not have? It certainly is the case the other way round.

I'm curious as to which ones they do not have compared to Adobe products.

The only one I can think of is proper material layer painting in Blender, you can get there with addons but haven't found one that's as good. Genuinely the only thing that I miss, and I do this full time.

Darktable has some features that RawTherapee doesn't, and vice versa. I imagine that some of that stuff isn't in the Adobe software. (I've heard that recent versions of Lightroom have removed local file management support, which both these programs still have – though don't quote me on that.)

Krita has a lot that Photoshop doesn't: https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/introduction_from_othe... .

Or just don't access any content that is funded by advertising. The nonprofit web still exists. But for all content that's not someone's spare time passion project, someone's gotta foot the bill.

Hard disagree. If you're a fan of the strictly functional "what's CSS?" look, you might as well stick to viewing README.md on GitHub and call it a day.

This design makes it look like something that is looking for developer contributions. The original looks like something where a sales chatbot is likely to pop up in the corner.

I tried to delete my ChatGPT account but the confirmation button remained locked. Anyone else have the same issue?

Good, thank you for fighting the good fight.

I do wonder whether it's possible to inject harmless stubs for these trackers so you don't have to deal with the bureaucracy of filing a complaint though. Then again, stubbing helps a few techy people, filing a formal complaint helps everyone.

Americans need that extra money to cover higher out-of-pocket healthcare costs. That's not necessarily a reliable indicator of wealth.

If you had read the data before commenting you would have noticed that it is all PPP-adjusted.
