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.

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...

Wait, is this just projects stored in your online Adobe cloud account, or are they even stealing your content if you're just using their desktop software? Because one of these is way, way worse than the other, even if neither is exactly good...

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

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.
Thankfully I don't do anything that requires me to have Photoshop, but if I did, I'd be explicitly blocking all outbound connections in the firewall.
Pretty sure the way Adobe’s licensing works you need to be always online to use it
Then you would violate the agreement, which could terminate the access to your stuff and the app.
I doubt that for two reasons:
-
There's no non-admin way for an app to discern if it's a firewall block, or a legitimate no-internet situation (i.e. didn't purchase in-flight WiFi). It would also look really bad PR-wise if a company banned customers just because their internet went down or was otherwise spotty.
-
How would they even know? Their software can't tattle on me if it's been blocked from establishing a connection.
Well, the software knows if it has access. Like you would know if you don't have access to their files, when trying to access. I didn't say they could detect this reliably, just that it would violate the agreement, in which case they have the right to terminate the access.
Maybe this is only about access to files saved on their server and not locally on your drive. In that case, this doesn't matter to our discussion. But if they access your drive, as the previous comment suggested it silently by blocking access with a firewall, then one should be ready to get banned doing so. Maybe there is even a software installed on your machine that checks this... You wouldn't know, because its all closed source.

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.
Ahahahahahahahahahaha damn I'm so happy I retreated back to GIMP and Paint.NET.
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.
How's rawtherapee for photo work and darktable
I never used Rawtherapee, seems to be a good tool too. I used Darktable years ago for couple of years when I was into photography. It's fantastic and got better since. While the main focus is on raw editing and developing, it is also good enough for other image related editing. Darktable obviously is similar to Lightroom, for some even the better tool; I can't compare them, never used Lightroom.
It has fantastic masking features for every effect, meaning it would only affect what is not masked. You can draw a mask with mouse, set by complex parameters, and other ways to set this up. This extended feature landed after I stopped using Darktable daily (as I stopped photography). It's worth wile checking out.
If you keep using these, then you won't own anything.
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'd~~ use Krita btw
Krita, 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)
