Why chase mice when you can chase styluses?

I’ve been working hard on my video review of the Huion Kamvas 19 using only Free/Libre and Open Source Software. Can’t wait to share it with you next week! In the meantime, here’s a piece I painted with it!

️ Mark your calendars! In just two weeks, I’ll be offering a free Krita workshop (in French) at Capitole du Libre 2024. This session will be a perfect blend of exploring Krita’s features and sharing valuable drawing tips. I can’t wait to see you there and create together! :krita:

I have done a lot of testing, diagnosing and reporting over the last few days, both for the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 and the XpPen Artist Pro 19 (gen2) using only free/libre and open source software. :linux:

Thanks to Benjamin Tissoires and @whot (but also José Expósito ) and the great udev-hid-bpf project, both models are now running very well.
I'll now work on the blog posts and review videos (and a comparison).

Quick update: Temu wrote me this morning that they have removed the product:

> "[...] After receiving your infringement notice, we quickly reviewed the submitted materials and removed the infringing content [...] TEMU's stance on infringement aligns with the rights of intellectual property owners because infringement not only harms our shared consumers' interests but also tarnishes TEMU's reputation"

Not what I asked for (I wanted the :cc: :ccby: Attribution), but it's still a win.

@aral True.
It's also the first time I see this industry using AI-gen for the photo model and stealing real art on top. Disturbing.
Maybe they are starting to realise that their AI art is hard to sell.

Another bad derivative of my art:
- Reusing my Creative Commons artwork without attribution
- Putting it on top of AI gen
I wonder how they managed to sell 568 of them...
Revolting.
Well, I filled in a report to ask them to at least give credit.
