Imagine you are in an environment using Windows (with Recall enabled and all other spyware and advertisements on OS level), use Photoshop enabling Adobe to spy on you and play Valorant with an Anticheat system that runs all the time at highest Kernel level access to everything on your system, and use Chrome spying on you too.
I almost vomit…
Bro, wtf 😂
Now that can be an issue for some people (I mean secret contracts and stuff like that). I
don’t use an image editor but if I did, I’duse Krita btwKrita, Inkspace, Gimp. I understand those who use it professionally but not the zealots who dont/barely use it yet demand for it like their life depended on it.
I’ve finally started learning to use krita, I’m enjoying it a lot (begrudgingly)
Well shit
It was only a matter of time given current trends
u vfill own nothing and be happy.
I like owning my shit and want to keep owning my shit
I see GIMP and Krita in my near future
In the upcoming weeks or months (they are late as fuck) GIMP will release its long awaited version 3.0. This has some huge improvements, so a good opportunity to try out if when it comes. If you are coming from Photoshop, know that some of the important features will still be missing in GIMP, such as non destructive editing (it will only have a few features regarding that). Krita is more full featured in regard non destructive editing, but is focused on drawings, still capable of generic image editing.
If you keep using these, then you won’t own anything.
I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for Adobe users, which unfortunately include my wife. Same goes for any of the other shit services out there. It takes determination and self-control to move away from all that crap, but as a person that sees himself with less self-determination than most, I was able to pull it off, so those that don’t can enjoy their hostage position.
This is a silly take. Who would sacrifice half -or more- their work efficiency to make a point?
I would, and do. I have had to sacrifice some convenience to stand my ground and my values, but that’s up to each individual how far they are willing to go.
I moved away from Windows as much as I can and now I maintain a dualboot just for Photoshop and Lightroom. I think compared to average people I’m doing quite well conviction wise.
I also use Gimp as much as I can. Unfortunately for processing hundreds of photos Rawrherapee + Gimp is not a viable option for me. There are problems both with quality and speed. (Gimp is the problem for speed and RT or DT for the lack of quality due to weak highlight reconstruction)
I understand. I consider myself blessed that anything I need is actually much more performant and easier to use the foss optiins than any of their proprietary counterparts, but I’m also aware that is not the case for some people.
I hope those irreplaceable pieces of software you need at least start getting ported over to be supported on Linux.
I mean I disagree about not sympathizing with folks somewhat trapped in a hostile software ecosystem, but surely “stand by your beliefs” is not unheard of.
I feel the same way with Adobe and Apple.
krita is pretty good. Not as good as photoshop, but it’s 85% there and doesn’t do bullshit adobe things. There’s an addon for it that brings photoshop like ai tools using stable diffusion, and runs entirely locally.
I think they’ve already been doing this for awhile? They must be about to get caught or something. They want to use, and probably already are, your new ideas for training AI.
I know historically if you scanned a bank note into Photoshop it’d give you a popup window telling you off lol
This has been a legal requirement by the government for a while, in order to combat counterfeit money. Many tools that work with images will complain about banknotes, even printers.
Also it’s not AI based and isn’t sending your image to a server. It’s checking for certain specific anti-counterfeit details of banknotes.
now it says its new
I think they’re having you agree to what they’ve already been doing.
Photoshop’s newest terms of service has users agree to allow Adobe access to their active projects for the purposes of “content moderation” and other various reasons.
They want you to give up the goods to train AI, old art is bad art to them. Also, this:
This has caused concern among professionals, as it means Adobe would have access to projects under NDA such as logos for unannounced games or other media projects. Sam Santala, the founder of Songhorn Studios noted the language of the terms on Twitter, calling out the company’s overreach.
Like… do they just not want money from the main group of digital artists who generate money? It’s literally a meme that the best way to make money as an artist is furry porn
they probably dont care, they make more money selling or lending the users data.
If you keep using these tools then you get what you deserve
Happy cake day!
https://w14.monkrus.ws/ oops my cat started walking on my keyboard sorry guys, i hope the link that came out doesn’t contain any unlicensed adobe software
Is that trustworthy? I don’t really want to go from Adobe spying to a random russian hacker spying on me.
i’ve been using releases from there for years and i’ve never had any problems, you can find people saying the same thing on sites like reddit
Back to try learning darktable again then…
Ahahahahahahahahahaha damn I’m so happy I retreated back to GIMP and Paint.NET.
Can you encrypt before uploading to adobe cloud?
Nope
No, but you can disable Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud services.
Will this apply to CS6 users as well?
Why does adobe have to remind us that they suck constantly?
