And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.
I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.
Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).
You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.
An old meme once said:

So, cyberbullying and toxic gamer communities are very much a thing and definitely a problem, but I have to admit, that story really did make day... I laughed for a while, I shared it with my neighbors, it's still fucking funny!
You know, the thing is... the whole mess was entirely Elon's fault. If he just wanted an escape from his stressful life, he could totally just play the game and it would work out fine for him. But because he felt the narcissistic need to live stream it (because he apparently desperately needs others to tell him how awesome he is), he got his stupid face kicked into the mud. And that's really on him...

The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don't attack McDonald's employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.
Well yeah I said leave the people working there alone and target the corp or org. And my reasons are what you just outlined in great detail. They are victims of capitalism.
Every company I've ever worked for deserves to be bullied.
Honestly that's letting the bastards running those companies get off light

I (distantly) knew an indie software developer who was putting up a pretty good Photoshop alternative in 1996: ONE GUY alone in his bedroom was making a decent living selling a Photoshop alternative that he wrote himself. And he wasn't exactly a super-wunderkind coder, just a guy who knew the photo manipulation space well enough to get enough customers to float selling his software for a few years - in direct competition with Photoshop.
Adobe isn't selling magic dust ground from precious gemstones by thousands of artisans. They had a decent product that they marketed the hell out of and eventually got overly greedy.
GIMP, Krita, and many others are right up there if you haven't been sucked into the Adobe addiction vortex.

im still rockin a cs6 version. works fine on w11ltsc. fuck the cloud and fuck ai.
These days, bullying is used for good.
i like how i didn't even know they were on bsky because they're already added to the The Great AI/NFT/CRYPTO Cull blocklist.
great, cant view it because it wants me to log in...
It's not "it" that wants you to log in, the devs created the site to be entirely public. but users demanded an option to hide their profiles from logged out users. Any hidden posts are because the user explicitly set the flag in their own settings
The api endpoints are still public btw. Third party clients can see these profiles just fine :| not a fan of that decision tbh
if that is the case the site should really do communicate that better. on another post I have seen a warning in the post body that the user's setting makes it hidden. I understand that. but here? I'm just greated with a login wall exactly like on twitter or facebook, with no communication whatsoever, other than "log in or pound sand"

They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.
by charging them alot for using thier services.
adobe will charge you $20 a month to read their skeets then charge a $100 cancellation fee if you want to stop following them.
what are skeets
Slang term for ejaculating, usually with some projectile distance implied. Very popular term in the mid-2000's, see Get Low by Lil Jon.
Tweets, but BSky. It's gross on purpose because the devs didn't want it to catch on and they Streisand'd. They've since embraced it lmao.

I can't see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover. I'm alright if a for profit websites hides "their" content behind a login wall, it's their choice, but how lazy is this "journalism" where they don't copy the images, they just link to the original tweets or whatever they called on bluesky.
That's weird. The bluesky links in the article work fine for me, and I don't have a bluesky account.
Ahh hang on, this one doesn't work but all the rest do

Honestly nah, there are lots of other good options. Support the devs and people fueling real creativity rather than staying in Adobe's ecosystem, paid or not.

Same thing happened with Proton.
proton did it to themselves by embracing the us and their fascist leader.
And the CEO just did it again, because apparently it wasn’t enough backlash the first time.
Oh lord, what now ?
