A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/3376057
I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
Fuck Adobe, not supporting Linux, and now not even supporting Firefox, the once most used browser? Whoever pirates their crappy software deserves a statue.
Use pirated adobe #noshame
Normalize using pirated proprietary software for professional work😉
Yeap I remember the good ol' days
I'd like my statue doing one of Luigi's taunt poses, please
Any software company that uses monthly subscriptions as their business model can fuck right off. Let us own what we buy.
There isn't anything that Adobe charges money for that you can't find an open source alternative for.
Are we surprised that Adobe is doing this? Adobe is exactly who I would've suspected adapting this bullshit immediately.
This is the main issue with that web DRM "security" shit that Google is trying to push. They have such a great market share now that big websites can now afford to put a check "only for Chrome" losing a very small percentage of users
I switched completely to Affinity Serif design suite and never looked back. One time purchase with free updates, much better.
You could switch to GIMP + InkScape, but I tried it as well and wasn't enough for my usage. Huge learning curve and a lot of missing features.
I tried Gimp for a longer time, too, but I could not get used to the complicated layer management, missing layer effects & layer adjustment features. I will try out Affinity.
If you're used to Adobe stuff should be easier to migrate to Affinity stuff. The fact they're MUCH cheaper should also help
Huge learning curve and a lot of missing features.
I have found most of the "high learning curve" is based more on work flow. Muscle memory can screw with you when trying to learn a new piece of software. I used to use Dreamweaver back in the day when I was on winblows, made the switch to Linux started using bluefish and had to change my work flow which was hard to learn because I was indoctrinated in the way dreamweaver worked. Actually had to relearn some aspects of web design since I had gotten used to the convenience of dreamweavers macros that were pre-installed
Are you kidding - they basically invented the problem. They were one of the first to move to the "rent your software" model way back when
There isn't anything that Adobe charges money for that you can't find an open source alternative.
Adobe, a company which developed nothing but just bought off 3rd party software by acquiring the actual developing company, and stitched everything together somehow, like a Frankenstein's Creature, and finally sold it as a service.
Thank you, but no thank you.
Same applies for Autodesk.
I've refused to use Adobe for a while because of their bullshit. Their main product I care about is Lightroom, but Darktable is a perfectly fine replacement for it
I have been removing Adobe from my life starting way back with Flash, long before it was discontinued. Then Acrobat and the final thing to go was when I switched to Affinity Photo and Designer and ditched Photoshop. It works every bit as well for me but I never was a Photoshop power user. For a long time the only company that showed up when I searched online to see if my email had been pwned was of course Adobe and that was over a decade ago.
They're not part of the problem. They're the problem.
So, you can't use adobe with a widely-used and -accepted browser, you must use one of the notoriously unscrupulous and anti-privacy tech giants' browsers. Nothing worrying there! /s Also, more of "Bullshit As Usual" from adobe
Does a user agent change this
This is exactly why I switched from Photoshop to Affinity. It's just as good and somewhat even better than PS and it's a one time purchase forever. I will never look back.
I’d seriously consider if your task can be accomplished with any other software. Personally I find LibreOffice Draw to be a perfectly adequate Adobe Acrobat Pro replacement for most situations. I know everyone has a different workflow though.
Time for #abode , I want to believe ;)
No way this isn't just satire or even a scam.
Thank God I never had to learn any Adobe products, one of the most anti-consumer companies out there.
I love how on most sites it works with a user agent switcher
That part makes me so mad. I get it if its a "Firefox doesn't support all the webgl features chrome does" problem, but when its just "we said so, that's why" its just absolute total bullshit
Hear hear. If you make the mistake of subscribing to Adobe canceling is like pulling teeth. Can't stand them as a company.
Adobe has been a constant frustration for me. I was having issues with Acrobat DC on Windows 10 and ended up having to uninstall the 64 bit version and installing the legacy 32 bit version in its place.
I want to use something else for PDF editing but our company refuses to consider alternatives.
Their billing has been shady as fuck for two decades. This company is the worst.
Looked it up and apparently its for tiktoks and AI. So, youre not missing out on much.
Remember when they killed Flash? That sucked
Ya fuck them, they should've killed flash five years earlier.
Its a clear sign they feel threatened. Their fall is near.
