Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why does adobe have to remind us that they suck constantly?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Its ok Adobe, you can admit you want to look at peoples furry porn, we won't judge you here!

Hell, you can just ask half of lemmy for some, I'm sure they'd be happy to share.

Will this apply to CS6 users as well?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Why would Adobe do literally anything about CS6 in the year 2024 when they discontinued in 2013?

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 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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 feel the same way with Adobe and Apple.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

This is why I don't use Adobe.

I'm so glad I saw the red flags from earlier and decided to stay far away from anything Adobe.

Anyways, this is the new business tactic. Start stealing confidential information by somehow forcing a new ToS change or update.

If you keep using these tools then you get what you deserve

Back to try learning darktable again then...

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Is that trustworthy? I don't really want to go from Adobe spying to a random russian hacker spying on me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

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
