For those not on Bluesky, Adobe got bullied so hard by basically every artist the site from this post that they straight up left. They were ratio'd out of existence. It's hilarious.

Adobe be like
I can't keep getting this whiplash where I lose all faith in humanity and then humanity goes and does something awesome and hilarious like this.
For those on Bluesky, this is a perfect example of why Bluesky will enshittify since this kind of brutal honesty towards rich people and large corporations won't be tolerated on a coporate social network that is working to turn as big of a profit as possible.
This period of people being able to clown on powerful corporations like this will quickly come to an end as soon as investors put the pressure on Bluesky to return a profit.
You're probably correct, but the possibility of federation does provide a safety valve. Any step in the wrong direction taken by BlueSky only makes it more likely someone will set up a new node.
BlackSky is heading full speed that way. A lot of users would like their own space regardless. The money doesn't line up right now, but being able to port our information out means that that switch will flip sometime soon.

Where you been man? That's practically Ra's day job, it's not the 90s anymore
It warms my heart to see all the Adobe hate and people switching to other things more and more. And I say that as a professional designer who has to pay my adobe tax every year to stay employed. Every person I see switch increases the chance I'll get to kick them to the curb someday myself.
I found an open source replacement for Lightroom that finally worked (others I tried crashed loading my raws). While testing it, my subscription renewed (I can take criticism that I should have known and cancelled before renewal, but..) I then tried cancelling right after, but Adobe only gives a grace period on first purchase, not renewals. If subscription automatically charges, that money is gone.
They've gotten a lot of heat for that over the years. I can't believe it's even legal honestly.

nonono, go back there is a way. you have to battle through their FAQ, and then their AI assistant, when you finally arrive at the point of talking to a human being then they might be able to just undo that for you, i don't know if there's a deadline for giving back money after you've been charged, but if it was a day or two ago i'm sure it's not too late
it worked for me with adobe and netflix, they barely even asked why aside from what is required of them "why r u leaving i need it for a survey" type of thing. it's a sleazy move to hide that you can get your money back, they try to squeeze just a little bit more out of you, but you if embrace your inner Karen there's a chance!

I'd love if the Affinity suite was available for Linux. That's the only thing I miss from Windows/macOS.
I use it on Linux with wine but I don’t know how stable it would be with large images/worse hardware

I fucking hate Adobe so much. One curse is not enough! More curses!
I cast Curse of Unicode!

That's nearly every company making image generation AI right now. Stealing from creators is all the rage, and I've yet to see a reasonable defense of this by AI users.

They also force you into a year long subscription but they pose it as month to month. Then when you try to cancel they force you to pay 50% of the remaining balance for the year. Fuck adobe.
Ha, you seemingly did the same oopsie as me, lol. Got a 6 month membership for half price on black Friday. Redeemed ist and suddenly had 2 subscriptions, because they were not compatible. Had to pay a month extra for cancelling my yearly subscription. Never again. :D
Remember folks, it is ALWAYS morally and ethically justified to pirate Adobe software. They're a garbage, predatory company that needs to crash and burn.
Why justify when you can switch to other apps? Even with pirating you're still supporting them and their stranglehold on the creative industry. Fuck em proper.
