Not my meme, I stole it from someone else. You wouldn’t know them, they go to a different community.

But in order to pirate their programs and not get bothered by “illegal software” popups, I need to block outbound access from their exe’s… so they’re actually not getting my datas
Data is already plural (singular is datum), no need to add an s
Filthy little datases
They stole it from us!
Gangly Gimli said that or something, in Lord of the Jing
Besides…
True, but I didn’t make this meme. I borrowed it from elsewhere. Possibly the meme maker is not a native English speaker and knows it as a second language.
Or… How about using a different program instead of Adobe’s so that we van eventually change what the “industry standard” is?
The problem is having one singular “industry standard” in the first place. If Adobe is eventually dislodged for something else it would eventually become just as bad, because there would still be no meaningful competition to keep it in line.
There is nothing as good and as easy to use as lightroom and photoshop
I’d argue that there is, but we are just too used to the Lightroom or Photoshop way of thinking/workflow. We don’t entertain other programs because it is difficult to learn a new way of doing things and return to a place of competency. And the less people use a piece of software, the less there will be documentation to help others learn.
I’m not sure if its a conspiracy theory or verified, but I do think that Adobe were okay with people (amateurs) pirating their software. We didn’t have the money to pay for it anyway, but it got us to become proficient at using Photoshop so that when we eventually had money, we were locked in.
I personally stopped using them when you could no longer just buy and own them. Now I just don’t edit my photos much which sucks.
Same here, CS6 PS+LR was the last one I bought.
I would very gladly pay to own them again but I will never pay a subscription for them.
Get good at c++. Learn how to use open source 3d rendering engines like Ogre or Irrlicht. Find an open source physics engine you like. Combine into 1 program, now you have a game engine that can be developed on any os and you’ll be able to optimize your game far more than you ever would on unity or unreal. Use open source everything and don’t pay a cent for any software. I’m fairly certain the game Kenshi was developed this way more or less and by just 1 person too.
That is a way to develop an entire game that doesn’t support enshitification. I don’t know who needs to see this so there it is. Not supporting enshitification can extend further than just sticking to gimp and blender.
Yes, but actually no let’s fuck them anyway :3
It’s a hate-hate relationship.
Does anyone have a dumbed down tutorial for an internet noob who just uses transmission to torrent and just wants adobe acrobat (just acrobat, for the other things I have other programs, but I really need acrobat and it has to be acrobat)
I don’t know if linking to websites are legal here or not, so I’ll describe it in a roundabout way.
Take the number ‘leet’, and an X. That is the domain name. to is the tld.
In short, [leet (as a number) x] [dot] [to].
Hope it makes sense. That website should have have the droids you are looking for. Just be cautious.
I do have a VPN. Thanks, I’ll give it a try
pictures you can hear
All my software is registered to Emanuel Goldstein of the PLoA ( Phone Losers of America ).
I hope his identity is safe.
It is rough for creatives locked down by Adobe’s software since not many alternatives can do what they need it for.
not many alternatives
means, you could still find some. 👍
I got Adobe CS2 for free, when they shut down the license servers. 😎 They later deleted download link and serial from their website.
Yucky all around, any way you look at it.
