We should all be bullying companies more.. Less bullying people and more bullying companies and orgs!!

Yes people make up a company blah blah blah.. Don't care. Just don't bully the people working there.

And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.

I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).

You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.

Some brilliant people invented photoshop

It was a good product but expensive

Some asshole coke head CEO decided to make it more expensive and worse.

Fuck adobe.

GIMP 3 FTW

I once built a website preloader that was so large that I made a pre-preloader for it. Good times indeed.

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.

I still remember when they bought Macromedia Flash and all my animator friends and I simply couldn't stand Adobe Flash CS3 or whatever it was called. It used more resources, crashed more often and didn't exactly bring anything revolutionary to the table in terms of new functions.

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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

great, cant view it because it wants me to log in...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

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"

Greatjob Bluesky, One less Adobe monopoly

[–] [email protected] 87 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

by charging them alot for using thier services.

[–] [email protected] 123 points 2 days ago (2 children)

adobe will charge you $20 a month to read their skeets then charge a $100 cancellation fee if you want to stop following them.

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.

A top reply was posted on another lemmy community:

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.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

Ahh here we go: it's a user made setting not a bluesky one

TBH it's better journalism to include the link, but they could do both.

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.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 2 days ago (3 children)

proton did it to themselves by embracing the us and their fascist leader.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago (15 children)

And the CEO just did it again, because apparently it wasn’t enough backlash the first time.

I know Curse of Ra will get old if it isn't already for some, but it's my favorite stupid meme currently.
