    Very strange presentation of Krita, but I'll take it. The overview of what you'll be able to do doesn't actually list anything you can do, and the comic recommends using it to deblur photographs, which is definitely not something I would recommend Krita for.

      Or indeed something that is really possible with anything. If it's blurry it's broken. Learn your camera settings and take another.

    It's unfortunate how many replys are missing the good part of this and rather respond with criticism and negativity. We can do better than that folks. This is a good thing!

    I like seeing the Krita suggestion, but to just call it “open-source” with no clarification on that means would lead me to believe kids would skip over the hyphenated adjective without realizing it is often the key to finding other good, open-source software (e.g. a “open-source alternative to Reddit” query should lead one to Lemmy). I’m hoping it has a section or callout or even a vocab word on another page but I’m skeptical.

    (This is putting aside my quarrels with OSI, FSF, SPDX for the larger picture)

      Considering Linux have 15% marketshare in India, I'm pretty sure the curriculum already cover what open source is.

    Oh hey, I had some good results with Krita when I was still making digital art way back when. It's been like a decade. I should get myself a new tablet.

    Promoting colorism in a lesson about software that can be used to edit colors is... A strategy.

    Idk maybe I just need to go meet more Indian people but none of the Indian people I've met to date look anything like Ronit and Sirahi here.

    Open Source, in the USA at least, is a result of software developers not being protected to unionize under the NLRB.

    Status, seniority, and respect are thus retrieved from the returns on self-employed slave labor.

      India has too many languages and cannot agree on one in common, which is why English is a "neutral" compromise. I understand that making Hindi the national language is a common Hindu Nationalist point.
