loving creative cloud

remember when you used to be able to buy photoshop for like $500 and you could own it forever?

well now for the low cost of like $250 you can use it for a whole year!

They actually use the TOMS model for software, you pay $450 a year for a license so a student can pay $15 for one. If capitalism has taught me anything it's that you can't even let philanthropy impact your bottom line.

Use the extra money to offset the cost of the lower priced item, write off $435 in charitable donations on the lower priced one. That's a win-win.

"priority zero"... one degree of priority higher than "priority one" (which is the highest possible priority)

wrong, ive heard of 'priority creep' where they refuse to redefine the priority levels of things but keep adding more severe ones, wanna say it ended up like -5000 or something hilarious

adobe poo poo

i learned that if you install pirated photoshop and let it phone home adobe will eventually push a $19.95/mo offer to you for full creative cloud. i bit. its a fair price and i do get a lot of cloud storage and access to a bunch of stock footage.

i still agree that its ethical and fine to acquire it by any means you want though

I simply use GIMP. I dont know why it gets so much hate. It has all the same tools. Maybe because the default canvas is small and several windows. You can set up a more Photoshop style workflow if you want and save it as the default.

Photopea is also really good. It's basically Photoshop recreated in your web browser.

I always liked GIMP because it made it really easy to make animated GIFs, back when those were more relevant. But for a while it had a really terrible UI. At some point within the last several years the UI has gotten much better though.

gimp is good enough for home users in the majority of tasks, but adobe makes their money on the business side. i like paint tools sai for drawing and GIMP if i need to do some more complex work.

Gimp rocks, all the stuff that people complain about are because of the UI. It's all there, just hidden.

Facebook's booming business is dominated by digital ads, but it also has hardware ambitions beyond VR. During the company's latest earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said its next product release would be a pair of smart glasses from Ray-Ban. 

It's the my birthday in the year 2037 and I just got FaceBanRayBook Inc. ocular implants to fix my failing eyesight! It's great, I can see my daughter's beautiful face clearly on the virtuachat now! My insurance didn't cover the PremoDeluxe model though so I get a fully adful experience. I couldn't afford the upgrade to allow me to pay to skip ads, but its not so bad, just a little advertisement here and there, and my work at the AmaCorp distribution center even has AdBlock as an employment perk during work hours!!!! They've replaced the twice hourly messages with inspirational messages on corporate leadership from our Godking CEO Beff Jezos, which is okay; I think we could all learn from his vision!

<one month later>

I got fired from the distribution center; I fell asleep on the smile packing line because of the soft tones of the corpotate leadership messages. I didn't realize, but I think I'm getting ads while I sleep. I don't seem to dream, but I keep seeing this frog riding a motorcycle in a club whenever I open my eyes at night. And it's started interrupting my rest. I haven't taken a nap longer than 29 minutes in month. That's okay, I can find another job with AdBlock, maybe even corporate perks which AdBlock full time during the 6 day work week! It's all worth it to see my daughter's face :)

<one month later>

I'm helpless. I close my eyes when the adds pop up, but the implants circumvent my cornea and beam the ads straight into my brain. I thought neural enabled audio on version 2 would be cool, but now I have the Jamster frog song stuck in my head, literally, except I can't listen to it to get it out of my head and it's constantly playing!!!!!! I don't want a new neural ring tone!!!!! I don't need any neural ring tones!!!!! Twice I've been hacked by script kiddies and forced to report of the week video from 2012 on loop for days at time, even while my ads are playing!!!!! I don't want an adful life, I don't want a custom life, I don't want this life!!!!!
