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
And they bought Macromedia’s suite and destroyed it.
I miss macromedia flash so bad, actionscript for life
I once built a website preloader that was so large that I made a pre-preloader for it. Good times indeed.
A flash preloader was my first real tech job! As I recall, they stiffed my last paycheck and went under later.
But it was incredibly fun and I made connections that steered my career to a new direction for the next decade.
They started it by pretending to want to connect with artists.
by charging them alot for using thier services.

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

Who do you think should be next?
Boycott all shitty companies… We make a list and we keep adding shitty companies to the list and present a list of alternatives.
I am really staring to detest most of the biggies. Amazon. Nestle, google. I’m not even American and I think the health companies need hounding.
I’ve spent a good portion of the past 5 years detangling my life from them. The unfortunate hard one I face is amazon.
All companies need hounding in this hypercapitalist situation we have found ourselves into.
Amazon has been the easiest to get rid of for me. I just stopped buying shit. I’d rather do without than continue supporting this. My Alexa’s got dumped. I just need to replace my firestick and I am done.
Its the subscriptions, it makes my monthly stuff easier to manage. Other grocery stores have merged anyway so it’s kinda watching 2 monsters fight, either way we are fucked lol. Alexa I get that. The firestick is decent hardware for the price you can try side loading Kodi and using that to bypass all their amazon BS. That way you get their subsidized hardware and avoid their ads.
Do you think we need a crusade group? I noticed a story about a tent group making money out of the camps earlier. Maybe we can all torment them. Happy to give a portion of my day bullying corps.
Per screenshots of the “skeet,” as folks on the butterfly app are wont to call their posts
What the fuck is this word salad?
English.
The word that’s throwing you off is probably wont
wont
(archaic or humorous) One's habitual way of doing things; custom, habit, practice.Is this some word that’s commonly used in some English speaking countries? I’m a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.
The only people that are wont to use this are either somewhat pretentious/want to sound learned, or are using it for old timey comedic effect.
Learned is another word for wise or well taught, before anyone asks. It’s said ‘Learned’, not ‘learn-ed’.
It’s okay to admit that you don’t understand what is being said. That doesn’t make it “word salad”
The fact that it’s seemingly a bunch of random words crammed together in a sentence makes it “word salad”.
Operative word being “seemingly”.
Also seemingly: you not being as literate as you think you are.
Operative word being “seemingly”.
I am aware. That’s why I wrote it. It was not an accident. It was not a declarative statement.
Also seemingly: you’re being an unnecessary asshole. Goodbye.
Ha ha!
