News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    Hell yeah! Gimp is literally the best photo editing program ever, don't tell me otherwise.

    As a fellow GIMP stan, I feel ashamed to admit that I had no idea that the program had been around for "25 fucking years"?!?!

    I personally never used it, but I know it did have a large following a few years back. I am a Linux user, and this program seems to be recommended a lot in their software stores to this day.

    It's basically open-source Photoshop, which means you can add third-party plugins for additional versatility. Apart from proprietary filetypes, I use it for everything other than vector graphics.

    traditional art = Krita
    image manipulation = The GIMP
    vector graphics = Inkscape
    animation = I forget lol

    animation and modelling = blender :)
    blender also can video edit as well but it's not really worth the complexity unless your already doing some animations anyways.
    for video editing that normally goes to kdenlive and then streaming goes to obs.
