  • They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

    It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

    I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

    TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.






  • Hell, I’m using the free tier. Zoho has the most relaxed offerings for free tier of any email provider I’ve looked into.

    Their Admin UI sucks though. It’s almost impossible to find anything, and once you do find a link to what you need you’re forwarded to some other new tool they’ve created in the last year. Giant pain in the ass.






  • Apple Kills Its Plan to Scan Your Photos for CSAM

    That headline literally says they’re not doing that. It was a well-meaning initiative that they rightfully backed down on when called out.

    I am one of the first to typically assume malice or profit when a company does something, but I really think Apple was trying to do something good for society in a way that is otherwise as privacy-focused as they could be. They just didn’t stop to consider whether or not they should be proactive in legal matters, and when they got reamed by privacy advocates, they decided not to go forward with it.
