No actually fuck the petty endzone dancing: make this shit make sense. How the fuck is Adobe execs saying “adopt our malevolently-designed
Intellectual Property-stealer malwareAI agent or lose your livelihood and become destitute” not the same kind of violence that artists saying “Adobe execs need to be shot” is? Practice what you preach, scab.If you don’t want people advocating for bringing back labor raids on corporate scum, don’t uplift the violence that corporate scum inflict on us,
SCAB.
Fuck your civility politicking.
making their dogshit programs not even worth stealing at this point
How about we switch it around: “Artists are telling Adobe to embrace their creative needs or risk being left behind.” Adobe is forgetting that Artists are the ones providing their revenue
* companies paying enormous fees
Artists are dumb enough to still use Adobe, so they probably get away with it.
Adobe execs need to be kissed good night to sleep in their beds. This is a very reasonable policy. Intellectual property rights are a thing that makes a lot of sense. The commons are definitely not being encircled by people who have names and addresses.
The interesting part is that Adobe has a lot of IP. You don’t see them saying that you can freely use it.
It should be noted that Adobe can fuck right off, and computerized art is not the only kind of art. It is generous to even call it art. It’s still all called graphics in my opinion.
I think they’re worried.
Without constant influx of fresh art, AI will devolve into deep-fried absurdist memes. :)
Is 2024 the year of gimp?
I would add Sumatra PDF and Okular to this list
And GhostScript!
Pandoc and LaTeX as an alternative to InDesign for book and paper publishing. Obviously not a direct replacement since they are macro languages and not GUI tools, but they are free and open source and capable of creating great looking output if you put in the time. There’s tons of free learning resources out there too.
Dope af
Adobe can fuck off and die
Adobe executives need to embrace being dropped in favor of non-AI programs or be left behind.
I’m at an absolute loss as to why people use Adobe. It’s hot garbage and the price is WAY out of league. It’s a shining example of the open market not existing/working as advertised.
It’s exactly because of capitalism that everyone is using it. Adobe bought off and killed all alternatives projects. So most people are now dependent on Adobe for their workflows. There are alternatives now, but people are still being dumbasses and are sticking with Adobe instead of taking a small loss to re-learn with alternatives.
Adobe execs are idiots. F*ck them
