just because adobe creates the illusion for you to be freely creative doesn’t mean they also dont hold all the reigns to the kingdom, its fucked

I literally said what they are doing is heinous.
I literally said they hold a monopoly. Which is gross.
I am under no illusion that eventually it’ll affect me in some way (look at Adobe trying make you pay a sub to be able to use pantone colours) it’s fucking gross.
The rise of AI generated “art” is fucking gross.
Legit illustrators and designers being forced out by said AI is fucking gross.
I agree with all the points, but I’m a design hobbyist. Im not being noble or fucking indifferent. What do you want me to do, start rising up against the corporations?

Exactly. Work around their nefarious skullduggery.
The shrug is a, well its seems pretty obvious, more than a, idc about this.
If they steal your work from their servers, then don’t use their servers. We can’t not use Adobe, believe me I tried but it ain’t quite the same. So work against them, within the confines they put us in
My OG post about no one caring was facetious granted.
I literally did that twice in one post.
You even quoted me
im not sure where i quoted you but uh…u wot?
we quite literally can actually not use adobe products and still get along in the world of design, it actually happens everydaY

Fuuucks sake man.
Yes obviously.
I have used many in the past, GIMP, Affinity, Photopea, etc but I find Adobe suite integrates with itself very nicely, I find it easier to use.
My point is, adobe is ubiquitous.
We’ve agreed they hold a monopoly.
I also use Spotify. Do you wanna argue about that next?
are you actually fuckin simple? wtf
Wtf man. You asked where I quoted you and I posted the screenshot.
I’m done here. Your just arguing for the sake of it.
Mason.
im not gonna get into a proper fight with you on the merit of adobe lol
the part you screen shotted, which i quoted, is you saying its heinous etc etc etc. You adding in a ‘but’ makes the first thing you ever say in that sentence false. And then you added a shrug emoji to double down on that.
If you take a moment to breathe you might see my argument just like i see yours
it’s not just file storage, you know CC does mostly outboard processing right? Any process running on an Adobe box is game for them to ‘claim’ the media hosted on that box. There’s nothing to stop them implementing some dumb ‘convenience’ function like MS Recall that caches periodic screenshots. Any time your data touches their servers you’re giving to them. Don’t think cos you’ve turned off cloud storage that you’re pwning Adobe lol

I already addressed this point. The fact you cba to read my posts means I’m not interested in this convo anymore.
I already spoke on this.
Reread my posts.
if you are referencing this, it is absolutely not a response in any form other than that you directly responded to my post with nonsense
this is impossible lol, it’s a CLOUD client
