>>62020481
>using "free" unstable software that was last updated 3 years ago

GIMP and Inkscape.
>>62020481

>expecting people to know GIMP and Inkspace

>>62020481

>he has such a shit business he can't afford software
K.
>>62020481
Why not complete the interview? Those skills are probably fucking transferable to whatever program you use. You're going to deny good workers and get some lazy faggot with these kind of hiring habits.
>>62021216
>it's more popular so it's better!
OP, You are fired for being autistic.
>>62020583
KEK
neck yourself
>>62020583
>GIMP
>>62021266
industry standard != better
Free, open source software is in line with God:
Galatians 5:13 ESV
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Propertiary sofware is not!
Galatians 2:4 ESV
Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—
>>62021369
yes
What would be first software you would consider if you wanted to quickly render a graphic of, oh say, a green pepper?
Well...ah...ummm.......
Never mind. Not important. We have your contact info. Thanks for coming in.
>>62021266
it is better tho
>>62020493
Yep, that's America. Candidates get passed over if they are honest. Businesses get to treat them like shit, while they have the same old bullshit "Integrity" line on their mission statement page.
>>62021451
it's not
>>62020583
>Inkscape
I love inkscape but damn its buggy. You can crash it by simply pressing shift + F10
>>62021262
Pretty sure OP was on the receiving end of the interview.
>>62021266
>somehow magically most people chose to use superiour expensive software over freeware
>it's less popular and i'm an edgy autist so i use freeware only!
>>62020481
Who the fuck wants to work for a company that uses god damn GIMP?
If I heard my interviewer tell me they use GIMP and wouldnt let me use PS, I'd walk the fuck out.
GIMP is fucking garbage.
>>62021556
most people are stupid
>>62021375
Amen
>>62021480
It really is.
>>62021547
Read the OP
>>62021662
it's really not
>>62021690
It genuinely is
>>62021375
>Free, open source software is in line with God
Looks like I will never use open source software again
>>62020537
>using "paid" proprietary software that never gets updated except for when the developers switch to a new ad provider that they make more money from
There are people who unironically like ~~creative cloud~~ in here. What's wrong with you?
It's a huge steaming pile of garbage.
>>62021725
God, you guys are worse than fucking Reddit...
>>62021483
did you know...? you can crash most application by simply pressing alt + f4... the more you know!
>>62021725
it's genuinely not
I bet OP uses hitfilm or some other retarded vfx software than nuke when needed.
>>62021587
True but Photoshop etc are being used for a reason.
>>62021422
>>62020481
Good job OP, the more non free people get filtered out of the industry the better.
>>62021759
Go there if it's so much better.
>>62020583
>>62021369
if you think gimp is better than anything you should be assraped to death by hell knights
