This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Literally everyone hates Adobe. At this point I'm shocked there hasn't been a consortium of companies pushing for alternatives.
It's not even just about the money. So many companies rely on a workflow and business model that Adobe can change on a whim at literally any time they like. That's a level of trust I'm surprised that so many companies and governments are completely fine with.
YSK: you also don't own games on steam, it’s all licenses and they can all be revoked.
That is why i archive ~~pirated~~ DRM-free copies of some games i know i will come back to for Nostalgia in many years.
Note that a lot of games on steam don't have any DRM, either. It's probable that if you have large library, a lot of your installed games will run without steam, if you go and start them from their exe.
So you can likely archive at least some of your steam games by simply keeping them installed, or even squirreling away the install folder somewhere.
Fuck Adobe. They are the epitome of the greedy, toxic software company.
I switched from Photoshop over to Krita last year. I've tried Gimp in the past, but just can't adjust to the UI. Krita is different too, but not to the same degree. I've been enjoying it. It's well-made and very powerful, with very good online support.
Can recommend the Affinity suite for anyone looking for some good alternatives.
Darktable is alright for LightRoom replacement as well.
Swapped to the Affinity suite a few months ago and have been loving it. DaVinci Resolve replaced Premiere. Still having trouble finding a decent After Effects replacement though. I’ve been eyeing Natron but haven’t tried it yet.
What does natron offer that you would use it over fusion (in davinci resolve)?
Oh yeah resolve is great as well. Love how they all have iPad apps too, moved so much of my workflow to the couch.
Second recommendation for Affinity Photo as a Photoshop replacement. 👍
The scummyness of this company knows no bounds.

Age you sure?
At this point, I treat Adobe like malware on my personal systems.
Enshittification seems to be accelerating.
