I've been using GIMP for over a decade. It's slowly starting to become one of the leading sources of frustration in my computing life. The more I learn about it the less it makes any sense.

Not trying to be negative here. Just saying that a modernization is much needed and I'm really excited for this.

    Just stop wasting time/money on Claude. If you already know what you're doing, use a super cheap model like DeepSeek Flash with thinking off to generate the code you want.

    There is absolutely no reason (IMO) that a skilled SWE should ever need a model like Opus.

    Best native Linux DAWS if you want to try:

    • Bitwig - Like Ableton but better (paid, proprietary)
    • Renoise - Tracker focused (paid, proprietary)
    • Reaper - Clunky but very capable (cheap, proprietary)
    • LLMS - Very simple daw (free, libre)
    • Ardour - Full featured but rough around the edges (free, libre)
    • Bespoke - Modular workflow, supports VSTs (free, libre)
    • VCV Rack - Modular workflow, VCV modules only (free, libre)

    All the paid daws have free demos.

    FWIW I also release all my plugins with native Linux builds: https://replicataudio.com/

    Got some cool new stuff coming out soon. HMU on discord and I will give you free copies (applies to anyone reading this comment).

    I'll admit that I overlooked that but a single user is going to be weighted VERY low. Especially if their data looks like an outlier.

    Seems pretty unlikely to me that you could really influence the model in a meaningful way like that.

    Better off focusing on public/authoritative data that will get weighted a lot heavier.

    Yeah.. Normies for sure don't use the term "LLM". I don't think it would scare them though. They're used to being confused 💀

    When I see "AI" I think "tech bro hype" whereas "LLM" makes me think the developer is more likely to have a realistic view of the technology.

    I guess this depends a lot on your target demo. But but even just cutting down on usage of the exact term "AI" would help I think. Basically anything is better.
