This popped up on my work laptop yesterday. Very annoying.

    Adobe is a cancer the second it is installed. Avoid this shitty company if possible, there’s loads of fantastic and better alternatives to their products these days.

      Is there an actual decent alternative that does digital signatures with CACs that doesn’t also require a costly subscription?

        Replying in the hope you get a solid answer to this. I need a good photo workflow tool and would like it to be FOSS.

        Not really my kind of thing, so I don’t. While adobe is a pile of shit, they do admittedly have some good software under all the extra shit piled on top and their suite is a lot larger than I remember these days!

      But also, we need an illegalist project to steal adobe’ssource code and release it to the world for free.

      Fuck remote hackers, we need infiltrators.

        I want someone to release the source code to ChatGPT, Sora, and everything else.

          Know anybody with a good tech résumé and better politics?

          Don’t, um, tell me. But that’s the starting point. I’d say that or forgery, but those are most of the same skills you’d use to actually get the thing, so…

          Thing is with those models, it’s not just the source code you’d need to do what they do. You’d also either need the model weights or to train them on a massive amount of data.

      My company’s nonprofit Adobe subscription is jumping from about $350 per year to $650. The newsletter editor has been using Adobe products for more than 30 years, so changing isn’t really an option. I hate them.
