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.

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.

Good, users like you are the reason ransomware happens. Fucking update your shit. Windows 7 isn't secure anymore.

@c0mbatbag3l @jeena Or just stop using MS products. They build in backdoors just for criminals anyway.

Thank God I never had to learn any Adobe products, one of the most anti-consumer companies out there.

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.

I miss the days of Creative Suite. You know, when you can just buy the thing once and do whatever you want with it for the rest of your life?

I actually miss the days of Macromedia even more. Those round icons with the weird typography are just timeless. Especially the Flash logo.

I was really hoping that the current AI tool revolution would finally kick Adobe off but with them buying Figma (which shouldn't have been allowed by anti trust in the first place) I don't see that happening yet. One day though.

Hear hear. If you make the mistake of subscribing to Adobe canceling is like pulling teeth. Can't stand them as a company.

Their billing has been shady as fuck for two decades. This company is the worst.

Its a clear sign they feel threatened. Their fall is near.
