I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

Trying to be relatable while they force you to use their browser or choice.
How do you do, fellow users?

I realize the snake metaphor has now fallen apart
Nah, they’re just snakes with hands, nothing weird about that.
So skinks?
TIL about a new animal.
um actually i really love when corporations like mcdonalds use all lower case and talk sassy to show that theyre just like me 💅💄
😂
“Whoa there!”
Go fuck yourself with that fellow kids corporate speak. That pisses me off so much, way more than it probably should.

It’s not cute, it’s patronizing.
Oh noez! This page had a teensy weency little oopsy! The code monkeys are working to fix the problem.
Absolutely disgusting.
OOPSIE WOOPSIE!! Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!
Honestly I’d respect that more.
This just gives me a vision of programmers at a patch closet not knowing what they’re doing.
Fuck Adobe, not supporting Linux, and now not even supporting Firefox, the once most used browser? Whoever pirates their crappy software deserves a statue.
Use pirated adobe #noshame
since flash died I’m happy that I don’t even know what adobe does anymore.
Something with trying to claim they own PDFs and Photoshop I guess
The pdf standard is open, though criminally bloated. Their pdf software (‘pro’ as well as the freemium ‘reader’ which looks like adware nowadays) is used only because it’s the most lenient with respect to files barely complying with the ‘standard’ – which includes things like application forms from government agencies.
… that is, if they can be said to ‘own’ the pdf format, it’s only because they smeared it all over with their shit. A bit like how hippos mark their territory, I guess.
Is there a FOSS/free PDF program that will let me fill in and digitally sign/encrypt a pdf?
Yup, I know Okular (KDE’s PDF tool) at least works. I don’t know if it works on Windows or macOS, but I’m sure there are other tools that do.
Thanks! I’ll look it up and try it out. Getting real tired of having to use shady web apps to get around something I have to do regularly as part of my job but for some unfathomable reason isn’t a default app on every computer where I work.
Normalize using pirated proprietary software for professional work😉
Yeap I remember the good ol’ days
I’d like my statue doing one of Luigi’s taunt poses, please
I wonder what their excuse will be once Linux surpasses MacOS in market share.
This is the main issue with that web DRM “security” shit that Google is trying to push. They have such a great market share now that big websites can now afford to put a check “only for Chrome” losing a very small percentage of users
Not that the DRM thing isn’t going to fuel this behaviour but this is already possible with the current browser specs. The DRM shit will just make it worse.
This very small percentage of users anyway would be privy to alternative to Adobe’s stack ?
Concern will perhaps be mainly for getting new users on FF/other browsers from Chromium.
There isn’t anything that Adobe charges money for that you can’t find an open source alternative.
No real replacement for After Effects unless if you want to juggle between 5 programs and then lose clients because they can’t open your project files

You can’t animate text on a video clip without spending a lot of time, something which is 2 clicks on after effects

I know, I love blender and work with it when I can, but I do motion design professionally and it’s painful how there’s no alternative to after effects
We have to stop confusing compositing and motion design, Blender is great for compositing, absolutely not 2D motion design. The only software that could efficiently replace After Effects on some aspects would be Cavalry, but it’s still on early development.
is there a list of that
thanks a lot!
Im REALLY trying to make myself learn Affinity Photo, but I just keep falling back to PhotoPea which is like an in browser Photoshop clone

Krita? Not good enough?
Not for photo editing or pixel art. Krita is a painting tool.
Wym not photo editing? You can do everything aswell in Krita. Changing hues, retouching, selection, layers, saturation, tone balance. All there.
And you can most definitely use it for pixel art. Even if you don’t want to use Krita there exist paint.net, aseprite, piskel or pixelorama. No need for hundreds of dollars for PS.and if you don’t want to pay, you can always use libresprite instead of aesprite

Got stuck in hospital for a few weeks recently and used the opportunity to finally learn Affinity.
I’m now really liking it. Takes a few tries to get into it though.
I particularly like it on the iPad with the Apple pencil. A bit less so on my windows laptop.
The GIMP is superior to Photoshop in every way. Fight me.
GIMP is very useful but I will fight you on that.
There are other free and paid (non-subscription) solutions that are better at everything Photoshop does though.
I am listening.
Pro retoucher here. What would you recommend? I’ve tried to switch to Affinity a few times but not tried anything else.
I like affinity and pixelmator. I edit photos with RAWPower.
Gonna give pixelmator a try, thanks!
Krita > GIMP
Honestly ever si ce I discovered Krita I never went back to GIMP. Maybe gimp is more customizable at the base level but fuck me if Krita doesn’t make transitioning out of Photoshop a breeze. Changing from PS to Krita is like switching from a metal baseball bat to a wooden one. Switching from PS to Gimp is like switching out your metal baseball bat for an unfelled pine tree.
Sorry, but fuck no. Not even close. I hate adobe, but photoshop is literally better than GIMP in every way. But like some said, there are better options than photoshop.
Any software company that uses monthly subscriptions as their business model can fuck right off. Let us own what we buy.
I just immediately pirate any company who does that
You wouldn’t download a company!
There isn’t anything that Adobe charges money for that you can’t find an open source alternative for.
Are you kidding - they basically invented the problem. They were one of the first to move to the “rent your software” model way back when
Adobe, a company which developed nothing but just bought off 3rd party software by acquiring the actual developing company, and stitched everything together somehow, like a Frankenstein’s Creature, and finally sold it as a service.
Thank you, but no thank you.
Same applies for Autodesk.
Oracle, IBM and sap too
No wonder why 2013 was the worst year ever.
Are we surprised that Adobe is doing this? Adobe is exactly who I would’ve suspected adapting this bullshit immediately.
This is also the company that charges you to cancel your membership. Like, 60 bucks or something, sometimes more, to stop using their product. Horrible company. Bloatware, laggy software anyways.
what?

Paralysed, dumbstruck?
No!
As another comment suggests, try to change your user-agent. Chameleon is great.

Unfortunately they’re still a default app in the business world. Basically everyone at least uses Reader if only because it’s what people expect when they open a PDF.
SO glad Firefox has a built-in pdf reader now.
Thankfully, there’s a huge variety of pdf readers (not so much for editors, unfortunately)
My favorite for Windows is Sumatra
Sumatra is really cool. That was my only PDF reader for a long time when I was using Windows.
They’re not part of the problem. They’re the problem.
Try a user agent changer
I have been removing Adobe from my life starting way back with Flash, long before it was discontinued. Then Acrobat and the final thing to go was when I switched to Affinity Photo and Designer and ditched Photoshop. It works every bit as well for me but I never was a Photoshop power user. For a long time the only company that showed up when I searched online to see if my email had been pwned was of course Adobe and that was over a decade ago.
