I'll still use it. The title is just a joke about being called out by a boykisser meme

Being out-of-the-loop, what did Krita do?

_ /\ _

???

Ewww majaro

I googled but I can't find any kontroversy

I imagine it's related to how some neckbards on the internet are apparently extremely salty that Krita currently has a "furry" as a mascot, created by Tyson Tan.

Nothing, OP's just saying things

Threaten OP's heterosexuality? /j

Is it about Krita being on steam not for free?

If I’d use krita on regular basis I’d be happy to support the devs. Also, the license is the same as always - it’s open source.

Why the fuck wouldn't Krita have a furry mascot? That's their entire userbase there.

Why is on steam? To use it on a steam deck?

so you can pay to support them, just like how goblin tools is on the app store

Blender has been on steam for years. As have other multimedia and game tools. For platforms like windows, it is one of the best auto update systems widely available.

Whats up with his ears?

I always read it as "major no" just to remind me.

I have no idea. There was some dweeb on this very instance going around spamming a Krita related thread complaining about it.

WTF? Why is this shit post upvoted?

It's meant to look like Krita's mascot, Kiki.

Take notice of her ears and her eyes.

KDE's official site about Kiki, from where I sourced the image.

Hello, 6 month Manjaro user
Why does everyone hate Manjaro so much? It works just fine (for me at least)
Are there better organization backed easy to use arch derivatives?

Cute, that makes sense!

why uninstall it? (do not answer if you are not OP)

Krita is open source why the hell would you uninstall it?

sigh guess i'll have to put the mandatory "free as in freedom, not free as in free beer" over here

https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

And that's not even up to date anymore. They let their SSL cert expire sometime in the last month. Again.

The real problem with it is that it's an attempt to maintain a "stable"ish downstream set of repos to give an arch-like experience, which is something that requires constant effort and diligence. Things the current devs do not provide.

If they can't even get automated certificate renewal set up (something that is extremely trivial to do), after years of that being a meme, what else are they not taking seriously?

And at that point, what is the appeal of Manjaro? Why not just use Arch?

Steam seems a bit of an odd place for it, but I don't really see a problem with it.

Depends on your use case. Manjaro is in the unique position of having such a poor management track record, that almost any other Arch derivative (or, you know.. Arch) is preferable. They've let their SSL certificate expire for the 7th time just last week I think? I honestly haven't kept count, but it happened at least a few times. If it works for you, that's fine. I imagine most reasonable people don't really care. I personally dislike Manjaro for their poor track record managing their repositories or SSL certificates, their historically stupid approach to the AUR and the generally negative effect it had on Arch linux (tech support). Honestly I think Manjaro benefits most from its popularity in the tech influencer spheres and the fact that most of its userbase doesn't seem to question if a rolling release model actually makes sense for their use case.

No clue what your issue is, but if your standard for OSS is not being associated with furries, I've got bad news for you.

...then don't wear a t-shirt with the mascot...

They've had a few embarrassing slip-ups that are largely irrelevant to users of the distro. I used it for years and my partner still uses it. It's a perfectly fine distro.

From what I understand, most of Krita's development budget comes from income on Steam, with fund.krita.org being a smaller slice. Krita would effectively be in maintenance mode if they didn't have money to pay regular developers and maintainers.

You can still just get it for free on the website.

You can't tell me what to do!

Then use apt or yum or pacman!

Thank you people for telling me.

_ /\ _

I mean, it cured my addiction to pirated Cracked software (and countless hour of cleranup from virus and malware), so, yeah.

And still available free as in beer as well.

This is a giant bucket of nothing.

What ears? I see no ears.

Wait, so you have to first run Steam to edit a pic? Rather give them a donation i think.

Im recompiling Krita 6 just for you 💘

The title is just a joke about having "boykisser krita" calling me out and and being angry at that smug face.

I ain't uninstalling it anytime soon.

Nah. Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn't land

Nah I'm fine with furries. Except the boykisser one (as a joke)

Updated the post with the explanation. The joke didn't land

"My God, what are all these furries doing using an open source art program?"

Like, dude dove in the yiff pile headfirst and then had the audacity to act surprised.

So you're OK with furries as long as they're not doing gay shit? 🤨

Kiki the Cyber Squirel, often just called Kiki, is Krita's mascot. We chose a squirrel because “krita” means “squirrel” in Albanian.

The top details are actually her ears. Picture attached in case you've never seen a squirrel before.

No, it landed for me. Maybe it was less obvious than I thought.

This is a good Christian household! The bible said no to boy kissing. But it said nothing bad about dressing up as a fox and fucking your partner who’s dressed as a cow.

I wasn't sure if it was a joke and I read another comment here that seemed to indicate that it was not. Thanks for clearing that up, unfortunately sarcasm is easily lost across the internet.

Nah it's not furries. It is just the boykisser meme that is often made to call out a person that may or may not be in the closet and mock them. It mostly conveys itself as rage bait / just being annoying.

So if the krita mascot starts saying stuff like that, that's a valid reason to not continue using the software.

I do like the boykisser meme, but I'm just playing into the joke

I honestly don't understand people beefing with people they don't know personally. Like, sure, I'm not the biggest fan of furries, but hey, you do you, I like animals but just not like that.

Not using software because people you don't know like something you don't like????? So stupid. Be you, be proud.

(I'm speaking generally, not directly to you op, btw)
