Agreed. Notably, Bluesky doesn’t require an account to read posts.

OK. They aren’t products. Not really sure why you feel the need to announce this.

GIMP and Krita are much more versatile than folks give them credit for. And of course there’s Inkscape for vector. I would suggest learning on these tools and if you find yourself limited then you can start considering other options.

This is surely a smokescreen for Google’s monopolization of Internet standards.

And even if weren’t, I cannot emphasize enough how much that list of companies should also NOT be in charge of setting open standards. Oligopoly, monopoly with the illusion of choice…
