A step in the right direction…
“This is great news!”
Is what I said when this was news a week ago and extremely widely posted…
Um, why is age verification needed at all in any personal OS?
So they can data breach it with no reprocuaions.
A question for the ages…
A question about your ages.
Won’t someone please think of the children?!
Of whom we require photographs… for reasons.
Age verification is evil. We need to take this and run with it
Operating system open source exemption, but not open source app exemption
Ok, that’s it. Asahi project, I hope you get to the M4 chip soon, and I gotta figure out how to got Photoshop, illustrator and InDesign running on Linux. :/
It’s been real, macOS, but if you card me, I can only say “fuck you”
Edit: and for all of those kind souls who wish to offer me Adobe alternatives: as a professional who has to use these Adobe apps everyday: they are really is no alternative. But thank you very much for your effort.
However, anyway, if you can help me to get any Adobe cc apps running in Linux, I will be eternally grateful— grateful enough to reveal how I’ve been getting them for free for 35 years. (it’s stupidly, easy, so easy that I don’t want to publish it and expose my loophole)
But it is both super easy and super legal— I found an easy and reliable way to game the free trial system. and I have been using it for decades.
ignore the entire ecosystem of “professionals” who don’t use adobe. like maybe it’s true with your clients or whatever that you have to use adobe, but it’s not a function of you being more “professional” than other people, shove that.
I don’t have to ignore them. I can just make $300,000 less per year. But I’d really rather not. There are those who pay me, and those who don’t. after all, I have a job to do.
The decision is pretty simple and pretty binary. Either I use professional software and get paid accordingly, or I use the software of children and LOSE MY JOB AND NEVER GET ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL DESIGN JOB.
I can use Adobe software and make the big bux and work with professionals, or I can use children’s FOSS software and struggle to find work and get paid nothing. that’s just how it is.
Anyone who tells you differently is lying to you.
software of children
children’s FOSS software
Just gonna blatantly disrespect all the incredibly hard-working and brilliant people who not only use, but also develop open source tools? On Lemmy? Lol
Dunno homie, you sure you want to run your Big Boy Pants™ solely-viable professional corpo-rental big-bux ware on a “children’s” operating system? Careful, you might not get paid!
Sincerely glad you’re making it under current conditions in the creative field though. That’s great.
But also it’s a small world. If your wealthy moneybags masters demand proprietary shit, that’s fine. We gotta get our bread.
But don’t go trashing everybody else or their hard work. That’s not gonna earn you any good will here nor anywhere else.
Anyway, there seems to be progress being made in this direction: https://www.xda-developers.com/someone-finally-got-the-adobe-cc-installers-working-on-linux-with-wine/
Best of luck to you.
I wonder if launching the photoshop installer in proton on steam would work
Well… starting with the Creative Cloud installer would the place to start, I suppose….
Is it the right direction if you’ll be unable to visit websites without having OS age verification?
That’s why god made a VPN. Come in from outside the country and it bypasses it all.
Websites not worth visiting IMO
It would kill Linux adoption, though.
Although I’m sure Ubuntu and Red Hat are already working on implementing it.
