The problem is After Effects — nothing compares to it and that keeps ppl locked to Adobe.
Not that After Effects is so fantastic, in that sense, but so far it has not been surpassed by anything — no matter the buzz around ”alternatives”.
Maybe Illustrator is hard to beat, but yeah, not as hard.

A Brazilian YouTuber killed the Photoshop subscription.
It's called PhotoGIMP. It takes GIMP, the free image editor, and makes it look and feel exactly like Photoshop.
Same toolbar. Same panel layout. Same keyboard shortcuts. Your hands already know how to use it.
Photoshop vs PhotoGIMP:
- Price: $275.88 a year → $0
- Account: Adobe login required → No login, ever
- Files: Saved to Adobe cloud → Saved on your computer
- Updates: Forced when Adobe says → Only when you want
- Works on: Windows and Mac → Windows, Mac, and Linux
No Adobe account. No cloud upload. No AI trained on your photos.
How small is the patch? Tiny.
→ Nine settings files. That's it.
→ Copy them into one folder. Done.
→ Open GIMP. It now looks like Photoshop.
→ Don't like it? Delete the folder. GIMP goes back to normal.
Three steps to install. One command to uninstall.
8,751 stars. 272 forks. 30+ people from around the world helping translate it.
One honest note: the license is GPL-3.0. Free for everything. Personal work, paid client work, your own edits. No "Pro" tier hiding behind it.
Dionatan Simioni runs the biggest Linux YouTube channel in Brazil. He built this from Marau, a small town in Rio Grande do Sul. No VC. No team. No fundraise.
This is what Photoshop should have been from the start.

@pseudonuts @heynavtoor This! I'm tired of my Adobe overlords but there is nothing like AE and it saddens me.

Claude Code + Nano Banana 2 is f*cking cracked 🤯
I built a skill inside Claude Code that writes JSON image prompts for Nano Banana 2, and the outputs look like they came from a professional photo shoot.
One plain-text prompt. Claude rewrites it as structured JSON with lighting, camera, composition, style, and negative prompts.
Then fires it off to Nano Banana 2.
All inside Claude Code.
Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who need high-volume ad creative without booking a shoot.
If you're using Nano Banana 2 for product shots and lifestyle images but every generation feels like pulling a slot machine lever — random lighting, inconsistent style, plastic skin, misspelled labels ...
This skill fixes the entire output:
→ You describe what you want in plain English
→ Claude rewrites it as a structured JSON prompt (lighting, camera angle, lens, depth of field, color grading — all of it)
→ Fires it to Nano Banana 2 via API
→ Saves the prompt + image in organized folders
→ You iterate on the style until it's dialed, then every output matches
No more slot machine prompting.
No more inconsistent brand imagery.
No more burning credits on unusable generations.
What you get:
- Photo-realistic product shots and lifestyle images on demand
- Full control over style, lighting, composition, and camera settings
- Saved JSON prompts you can reuse across every campaign
- A skill that gets smarter the more feedback you give it
Built 100% in Claude Code with a custom skill + Python scripts.
I put together a full playbook showing the exact skill, the JSON schema, and the workflow to set this up yourself.

I built a FREE 3-Day course to turn Claude into your AI teammate.
A system that actually does work for you.
In 3 days, you’ll set up Claude on your computer so it can:
• write in your exact style
• connect with your daily tools
• complete tasks you normally spend hours on
No coding required.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Day 1:
Set up Claude Cowork and run your first real task in 15 minutes
Day 2:
Create powerful workflows
→ generate landing pages
→ run competitor research
→ automate repetitive work
All with one prompt.
Day 3:
Add plugins, connectors, and skills so Claude works like your personal AI assistant.
Plus I added:
• ready-to-use prompts
• simple step-by-step setup
• real examples you can copy
So you can start using it the same day.
If you want the course,

@SpicyGinger731 @AsianFoxMulder @DiedSuddenly_ @grok What is this VIVIX that you speak of but don’t answer when asked?

Many understandings emerge in the trying, crying, days of dying.
One that is stark now, is that differences, battles and even wars between men bring knowledge of bonds that the eyes reveal, and most words conceal.
Those friends who endure are those who deserve the slight bow, and the words "with respect".
Thank you my dear old friends.
With Respect.

@clif_high @clif_high
When people mention "the placebo effect", in a pejorative way, I always expect a scientific explanation of that same effect, it's the least one can do.

IMO both the EE systems woman, and SG ANON are fucking people over.
SG ANON is pimping another woman claiming to produce 'scalar waves', just like the EE systems fraud.
First 'scalar' is not a wave form energy.
Second scalar energy would set off government equipment at airports and military bases all around any site in which it was operating. You would be swarmed by men in tactical black who would swoop you off to internment and really intense questioning as to HOW THE FUCK you made those energies.
The problem is that the frauds of EE systems and this new wrinkle promoted by SG ANON are touted as 'healing waves' (again, scalar is not a wave), and thus low information people may defer real medical treatment in thinking that this shit actually works.
Placebo effect may make you feel better for a few days, but it is NOT healing anything.

@EuropeInvasionn This is a lie, the protesters are portuguese not muslim! This was a demonstration against the war in the midlle east... and tells me that you really don't know nothing about Portugal and what is happening around here.
