There aren't actual numbers because you can't poll for that. There's not a database somewhere that keeps track of every teacher or manager that says "ew" when someone brings up GIMP. There are some documented examples, though, some of which are listed in the article.
Yeah, the destructive editing and lack of a content aware fill is made me stop using it and go back to Photoshop. Krita also seems more usable these days in the FOSS world. The name is a lot easier to fix than those missing features, though.
Right, ultimately it's their project and they can do what they want, but it's also their loss every time some person or organization skips it because of the name.
Those points are addressed in the article. It's not an issue for a lot of people, but it's still an issue.
The issue is Steam and Valve being held up as the ‘one good company’, when there are plenty of examples to the contrary. Valve does many of the same practices as Epic, EA, etc., but there’s a double standard with Valve because it’s the default experience. The inevitable decline of Steam is going to be much worse after people spent a decade giving it a free pass on lesser issues.
I meant more that the Steam client needs to be fully functional on modern macOS. Dropping older operating systems is more justifiable, but does still add to the picture of Valve not treating Mac owners all that well.
It's a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B. Apple very obviously doesn't want the Mac gaming ecosystem to exist in the same capacity as Windows and Linux, but Valve also has an obligation to its customers using Macs to keep the service running well.
I mean, even those old iPhones have better software support than a lot of low-end/budget Android phones. The iPhone 11 still has iOS 17 and will probably get security patches for another year or two (assuming it gets dropped with iOS 18, maybe Apple will try pushing it another year).

I'm sure a lot of people on Lemmy can figure out package managers, but I wanted to try writing a guide more aimed at beginners that can be shared with people trying to figure out
yt-dlp. I only found one other guide like this outside of random Reddit threads and comments, and it was pretty long and technical.If you like this article, please consider following the site on Mastodon/Fedi, email, or RSS. It helps me get information like this out to a wider audience :)
