Gah my younger brother has become such a rightist. It actually makes me sad, because I've looked up to him for most of my life. He's really impressive and gifted, but god damn he has some awful takes.
He's not like, directly fascist, but he's adamently defending capitalism. This is something I have a lot of trouble arguing against. I don't know what to tell him to show that capitalism sucks and we should at least try to help our community somewhat, he seems incapable of understanding my point. (Low-key, I wish I brought someone with me who had the same political views)
I complain a lot about Inkscape vs. Adobe Illustrator when it comes to print design. Do you want to do something about it? Do you want us to have nice free software tools for print?
Well Martin Owens @doctormo@floss.social is making things better, he's the one working on CMYK and revamped PDF export for Inkscape. It seems like a massive endeavour, and it looks very promising!
This would open up Inkscape to a whole new sector. Inkscape is pretty good for digital work, but it lacks crucial features for print. CMYK would be a massive step in the right direction.
@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Scribus is publishing software, not design software. It's meant to be used to edit documents.
At least we have that for print publishing, it is very nice. I just wish we had anything for print designs...
My designs make use of a lot of features I wouldn't expect publishing software to have, like masks and layer effects. But I have to admit I haven't tried it. I'd expect the experience to be pretty bad though, no fault of their own since that's not what the software was built for.
Still at least you could make use of the fact that it has spot colours to add your own cutlines on a design made with Inkscape, so at least you might be able to struggle your way into getting something printable.
