    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.

          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.

    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.

          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.

      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’.

        The fact that it’s seemingly a bunch of random words crammed together in a sentence makes it “word salad”.

            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.
