moth

what it is is the most okayest image editor with an ableist name in history

moth isn’t mad at gimp for stagnant mediocrity any more than moth is mad at league of legends for it.

anything to avoid having to use Gimp, moth supposes. moth has been using Gimp since moth was a larva, and it’s always been one of the worst experiences in open source software.

well fortunately for them, moth supposes, that they don’t need amazing software. they just need enough to beat Gimp, which has sucked since moth was a larva. it’s a rather low bar to beat.

moth supposes none of the people here are serious about using the vibed versions, and are only finding amusement at something bad happening to a very shitty corporation.

it’s not really different than laughing about MAGA eating each other. just because one might think it’s funny senator foghorn leghorn called trump an asshole, doesn’t mean one endorses him in any way. sometimes it’s just funny to laugh at bad people’s misfortune.

if it’s a clean room implementation they can sue, but they won’t necessarily win. anthropic gave up when claude was translated to rust because none of their code or assets were used, so they had no standing to object to the software itself existing.

this is the same sort of issue john deere has with open source diagnostic software, and nintendo has with some emulators. it’s not illegal to copy features so long as you don’t reuse any assets. a complete rewrite of photoshop in rust might just get away with it. you can be sure adobe will be pouring over their source for the slimmest bit of their IP. and of course, even if they would lose, there’s nothing stopping them from dragging the other party through the courts just to ruin them financially.
