I suggest that you avoid purchasing any products or services from #Adobe.
I base this on my recent experience with Adobe, buyng an upgrade — that fails to run on my computer. There is (apparently) no way for a customer to talk or correspond with a human being at Adobe. Because I have no record of any (impossible) correspondence with any Adobe human, Adobe and my credit card company both decline to issue a refund. REPEAT: I suggest that you avoid purchasing any products or services from Adobe.

Why FLOW Matters in Your Digital Life.

The Problem:
Most of the tech you use every day is controlled by #corporations—closed, #proprietary, and designed to lock you in. Think #Facebook, #iPhone, or #Adobe software: you can’t see how they work, you can’t modify them, and you’re often the #product, not the #user.

Nach dem Aus von Adobe Aero und Meta Spark: Trace startet als "Canva für AR"

Trace will AR-Inhalte so einfach machen wie Webdesign mit Baukästen. Die neue No-Code-Plattform beerbt Adobe Aero und Meta Spark und lockt mit Gratis-Monaten.

Today the new #Affinity was released. After the #Canvas acquisition, Designer, Photo, and Publisher were merged into a single app (luckily, the old stand-alone apps still work). Affinity is free, supposedly forever, with only AI features requiring payment.

I’ve long used Designer for figures and posters, and its affordability made it my preferred alternative to #Adobe.

I remain a bit sceptical about the “forever free” promise. The future will show whether it holds.

There was no way #Canva could resist destroying #Affinity. The scorpion always stings the turtle, and so yet another great piece of software has succumbed to corporate enshitification.

Don't give a dime to #Adobe, or this bullshit 'AI' that none of us wants or needs. Instead give your money to your favorite free (as in liberty) and open source graphics projects. Those projects are the only way we'll ever be free of these idiots!
