Very exciting! I feel like I've been hearing about GIMP 3.0 for a decade

Yeah, I saw that this morning and I was like ... oh wow, it really has been that long!
Why does he look like Cartman?
Hope it turns out to be good as Inkscape.
It seems a little weird to compare them, given that GIMP is primarily for editing bitmap images and Inkscape is primarily for editing vector images.
Honestly, I have found GIMP always better than Inkscape. And I feel like a lot.
What do you think is better in Inkscape?
Interface and feel. I haven't used for real Gimp in a while, but it had non uniform look and wasn't very intuitive. I tried inkscape many times before and it was always off in the same way as Gimp, until last year when i once again tried it. It was very satisfying experience. I'm no power user but i just like how it performs. I believe i would like it even more if i used it more.

Good news
Huh, who put the anime themed bot detection system in there?
It's an attempt to stop poorly behaved AI crawlers written by someone who had their Git server flooded Amazon's crawler. The worst part is that it seems these companies are so desperate to suck up data to feed their models that they'll happily disregard "good etiquette" and summarily workaround the website owner's attempt to slow them down.
I don't want to have to close off my Gitea server to the public, but I will if I have to. It's futile to block AI crawler bots because they lie, change their user agent, use residential IP addresses as proxies, and more. I just want the requests to stop.

Given the Gnome gitlab is a rather known website, I can only imagine they've suffered from the same fate, probably even worse.
I hate humanity
Now I get why was this written
Gnome shenanigans.
The most hilarious part about how Anubis is implemented is that it triggers challenges for every request with a User-Agent containing "Mozilla".
If you have JavaScript disabled, this "challenge" is just a wall. They might've stopped bots, but they've stopped me too.
