when he was advising Trudeau

You mean since all the way back in the... fall of 2024?

Peter Downing prévoit annuler son vote le 28 avril en y inscrivant les noms de Donald Trump et son vice-président, JD Vance. Car le séparatiste rejette autant le chef conservateur Pierre Poilievre que le chef libéral Mark Carney. « Je pense que Poilievre est comme Milhouse dans les Simpsons. Il est faible, c’est un nerd. Il se fait botter le derrière, il vient de perdre une avance de 20 points dans les sondages. ».

lmao

If you’re a fan of the established order of capitalism Carney’s your guy for sure

Carney is a Keynesian and would probably prefer a 1950s or 60s style capitalism than what we have right now.

No, what I'm saying is that PS has features that simply do not exist in any of the current FOSS apps. How do you replicate smart objects or content-aware fill? How about sky replacement or the camera RAW filter?

Even that isn't really true. GIMP for example is nowhere near feature parity with Photoshop, not even close. it only just got non-desctructive editing a few months ago, something that Photoshop has had for at least 20 years if not more! The disparity gets much, much worse when you look at filters or tools like content-aware fill.

I would if I knew anything about programming or UI design, but unfortunately I don't.

Again, you're operating off your own limited experience. Ask someone who does Excel programming (yes it's a thing) if LibreOffice compares. It does not.

Can I ask your perspective on the comments here saying that Krita and Inkscape just aren’t comparable to their commercial alternatives?

I am a professional and have been doing this since... Well, I started with Mac OS 7, let's put it that way. Krita and Inkscape are like using craft scissors to cut sheetmetal. They're simply the wrong tool for the job. They are maybe 10% comparable to Adobe apps. Affinity apps are probably 60% or 70% comparable. Anybody who says Inkscape is a replacement for Illustrator simply does not use it in any serious professional capacity. It doesn't even have any means of adding paragraph spacing!

At best they will repurpose certain features to add them to some "pro" (but still web-based) version of Canva at $50/mo. There's no way in hell we'll get Linux apps for Affinity. I really wish we would because they are literally the only reason I still have a Windows VM.

I don't necessarily disagree with your take here, but this is all conjecture until we see a 5th-gen in real combat. There was that story about an Israeli F-35 sneaking right up to a... I forget what, Syrian AF probably, but even if that anecdote really happened we haven't really seen them used in anger. As I said elsewhere here, China is really the only one who'd offer a near-peer opponent (unless god forbid the US go so far off the rails that they turn on NATO).

One example I should have mentioned earlier is that the F-35 has cameras outside the plane so that the helmet HUD allows the pilot to look "through" the fuselage. It does much more than simply show sensor readings inside the visor.

I must not be explaining this very well if that's your takeaway.
