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

Tooooo many arch using femboys, why not gentoo? Or is that just for cracked eggs? :3

[-] luciferofastora@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Once I understood it, I found it funny. I just needed to spend ten minutes crawling the comments to learn about the meme this is a parody of.

[-] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 hours ago

I think I need some context, what is a boykisser meme?

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Here, here!

Even with the explanation, I still don’t get it either. I have some questions:

  1. What is a boy kisser meme?
  2. What is good or bad about being called out in reference to one?
  3. Who was doing the calling out or being called? Was OP called out by Krita, Krita by OP, or some third party calling out one or the other? Or maybe a third party was called out by Krita?
  4. What does this image have to do with Krita or the other OSS projects in the background?

Feel free to assume that I am old and not hip to what kids are doing these days.

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)

[-] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 47 points 17 hours ago

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.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago

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

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

Furries keep the internet running.

[-] Bronzor@lemmy.ml 36 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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

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

_ /\ _

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 66 points 19 hours ago

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.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 89 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago

"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.

Nothing, OP's just saying things

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] Lisk91@sh.itjust.works 16 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

And when you have to crack a newer version (because the old can't work on your $os) it's all bloated up.

The only thing I don't like about Krita is the color picker but I'm sure you can change that so I'm just lazy.

[-] custard_swollower@lemmy.world 50 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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.

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 13 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] Eldritch@piefed.world 34 points 18 hours ago

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.

Im recompiling Krita 6 just for you 💘

[-] juipeltje@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

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

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 6 points 15 hours ago

And still available free as in beer as well.

This is a giant bucket of nothing.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 25 points 19 hours ago

Ewww majaro

[-] thurstylark@lemmy.today 18 points 18 hours ago

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

WTF? Why is this shit post upvoted?

[-] Renat@szmer.info 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Why not

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Because why is it time to uninstall Krita?
Krita is an excellent open source project.

[-] bilb@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

I don't think OP means it, to be fair. They are being jocular.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Really? What gave you that vibe?

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Whats up with his ears?

[-] clubb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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

21900

Take notice of her ears and her eyes.

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