Lol that is cringy as fuckkkkk.

And you couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve ranted about how much I despise Adobe on many, many occasions.

Two things can be true: Adobe is a huge piece of shit parasite evil capitalist bunch of fuckfaces, and some of their products are good even outside of the bias I have by having learned them and being able to use them like second nature. Adobe Illustrator, for example, is a fantastic vector graphics editor.

It must be a hard life you lead, always ignoring practicalities and adhering to ideology. I don’t have the luxury of having 15 hours each day to learn a new Photoshop equivalent. I really wanted to make Gimp work for me but it’s just painful. The day I can figure out all the basic features without a painful struggle, I’ll switch to it in fact.

It’s a format meant for web browsers. If you want your web browser to ignore performance and focus on universally reusable images, I guess. But that’s me making leaps not in the “meme”

Right. The right wingers are arguing (usually without knowing it because they don’t understand words) for people to stay asleep and not think or question

Doesn’t matter who made the format, it’s already widespread.

Insisting other people’s opinions are invalid isn’t the neutral chatter you seem to think it is

What you’re saying would apply if I hadn’t already learned it 20 years ago. This idea implies that for me not to “support” them by giving them no money, I have to learn entirely new, likely less capable software, in some cases. I mean, I wish I had time for that, but absolutely nope.

Pirating their software is not supporting them, not in the least; it’s opposite of it if anything. I’ve tried being nice to you. So now that you’ve rejected that, can you fuck off please?

They aren’t going away anytime soon. “It isn’t worth it” okay well if I can run them I will and it’s very much worth it if I can. Which I have been in a vm. Just sucks getting a performance hit.

Pirate that shit. Never ever give them a penny, I know I won’t after they started the subscription model, destroying my upgrade path. What is your frame of reference? I was trained in design and learned to use Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, premiere, and after effects. These do not suck. They are industry standard for a reason.

The business practices, bloat, and lack of cross platform support are shit but their functionality is actually pretty stellar. Alternatives exist but are kind of lacking in some ways. I don’t get it when people think the tools virtually every professional uses are dog shit…

Let it die? Windows is 10x more likely to die in the next decade and I’m not counting on that ever happening

Hard disagree. Adobe the company is awful but Photoshop, illustrator and Lightroom are useful. It is enraging the hoops you gotta jump through to sort-of use them on Linux.

As is in the name, the format is meant for web.

It’s already happened.

Fuckin why

Lol it’s like 10 years old at this point. Not sure they’re pushing it anymore. I think files that are half the size sell themselves

I’m mad tho! I have technical issues with a format that works for hundreds of millions of users daily with the only impact being their website loads faster! RAGE!

You’re trying to tell me windows “just works”?

Between updates taking time and breaking shit, drivers constantly demanding updates, auto start programs that slow your machine down and pop up prompts, new “features” in windows asking your time, literal ads in the OS, and I’m sure I could list more examples if I took time, windows hasn’t “just worked” for me in a long time. I was a daily power user of it from about 1997-2014. Which is why I hate it. On Linux, out of that list I experience an update breaking something once or twice a year, and sometimes having to copy paste some config vars on a game. Sometimes (like one in ten).

When I had an Nvidia card it was admittedly different. Not very stable because Nvidia chooses to be assholes. On an AMD card things are solid. Not much configuration when I do game

Never looked at metric as (also) accommodating idiots, but I guess you’re right.

I get that. I do think some people are pretty closed minded on the topic but you don’t seem to fit that bill. MS is not playing the long game though. Even my brother who has been against the idea of Linux forever is coming around. He’s installed it and playing around with it lately. He might just convert one day…

I’m gonna try this neat trick at work
