People do tend to hate theft, yeah.

This. If people really want to buy something they will check all available websites for the item(s) they’re looking for. I still use CL exclusively and refuse to touch FB Marketplace even with a burner account because it requires a phone number.

Amount of people surprised by this:

Meh. They had plenty of time to move to Firefox but they ignored all the warnings.

Simple indeed, but getting people to actually stop using that trash heap website has proven to be very difficult.

I am very tired of Twitter users doing nothing but complaining about site changes and Musk yet they still just sit there… doing nothing about it. You’d think it’d be easy to rip the bandage off when it’s covered in fascist propaganda but apparently not.

This is a given for many kinds of services. Always purchase subscriptions on another device or direct through their website - never use your Apple devices’ app store.

I love how they’re asking him gently as if he’s a toddler having a tantrum and not the criminally liable fascist he actually is.

Reminder #891,814 to stop using Chrome and Chromium browsers and to stop supporting Google’s web monopoly.

Large amounts of greed, corruption, and complacency.

Crap product by a crap company lead by a known fraudster. Who could’ve seen this coming??

They have not, no.

I sell photos on Adobe Stock. They never properly asked me permission to train on my photos. The whole thing was opt-out not opt-in. Leaving Adobe Stock is not an option either as Adobe, like most stock services, continues to sell your images even if you purge and delete your account. Getting them properly removed is a agonizing, teeth-pulling experience with customer support and not even guaranteed to work.

So Adobe can take their “ethical, non-exploitative” AI and shove it up their ass. As always, artists continue to be exploited and abused for profit.

The new software is able to detect if the hood is open and, if so, will display a warning to the driver to alert them to stop their vehicle and secure the hood

This should not be legal. They should be forced to recall vehicles and replace the faulty part instead of kindly asking drivers to pull over when the part fails.

The shit this company gets away with is astounding.

It’s where they keep all the cheese.

And this is why most users should not be opting in to preview updates.

This is true but only to a point. I have 64GB of RAM and I have seen Photoshop overshoot that and start eating up 20gb of page file. Working with the exact same files in Affinity Photo - it uses a quarter of that.

There is a difference between “Efficiently use available memory for program functions” and “Fill all available memory with bloat and poorly coded rubbish”

If your software’s function can be replicated using only 1/4 of system memory then your software is poorly written. Which Photoshop is.

I dumped my Adobe sub and grabbed Affinity Photo a while ago. It does 95% of the things Photoshop does (and 100% of what I need) for a one-time payment that is a fraction of the cost of an Adobe payment. It’s runs so so SO much better than PS. I very often saw Photoshop using up to 40gb of RAM and Affinity Photo uses 9gb doing the exact same work with the same files.

Removing Creative Cloud and it’s 838 different processes was amazing. Like finally watching your toilet flush after it’s been clogged.

All of this just to give rich shareholders even more money.

Microsoft is constantly experimenting with how far they can push users into a corner and get away with it. There might be a day when Microsoft caves and releases a Windows that is more like what we wanted, but I imagine it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. We have not yet seen the worst MS has to offer force upon us.

Grass is green, water is wet, the sky is blue, and privacy settings don’t do anything.
