Adobe : 150 millions de dollars seulement pour solder des années de process d'abonnement volontairement obscurs

Adobe est passée à l’abonnement exclusif depuis 2013, avec l’abandon petit à petit de la Creative Suite 6, et ce n’était pas une bonne nouvelle pour tout le monde : si les tarifs paraissaient plus faciles à digérer en payant quelques dizaines d’euros...

Perhaps a new Tag is needed:

#AdobeAlternatives

I personally use #DarkTable for my photography, and #Krita or #Gimp when needed.. I'm sure there are other PDF and Creative Suite alternative #FOSS titles out there that provide equivalence.

FOSS is my preference, but equally, I'm guessing there are alternative paid lifetime licensed software titles out there too.

Toot the alternatives, Mastodon residents ! ( paid & free ) Are they as polished? probably not, but cheaper and likely the functional equivalent of, in most cases.

Their learning curve or once off price is the toll to get off the BS roundabout, and a relief on your wallet. (unless of course your Org mandates it's use in their pursuits)

In the end Adobe is just hijacking your wallet, using your creativity as leverage, I'd suggest your creativity is worth far more than Adobe is leaching from you, and alternatives definitely worth the effort, to not be gas lit by them.

@snow IMHO #piracy should only be considered "#theft" [with damages being limited to the cost of properly licensing it!] if the pirated material was still offered for licensing new under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

In the past, #EA did offer to replace broken discs / cartridges for a nominal fee [AFAIK €10 per disc or €15 for double-discs] if people mailed in the original (broken) media. I'd say that is should apply to everything, tho granted that only allows people in theory to deal with #DiscRot (assuming the publisher is able and willing to perpetually honour this service), not allowing them to legally attain new licenses.

#Valve & #Steam legally workaround this by merely providing access and not a #license per-se.

  • Still, I think #piracy in almost all cases is (as GabeN correctly said:) "A services problem!" and if a product is fairly priced and then people will be willing to pay for it.

I just think that the rampant Enshittification of even #PhysicalMedia is unsustainable and I wish for an #OpenSource #competitor to #BDXL and it's #OnlineDRM!

Serif has a 50% off flash sale for Affinity Suite V2. My Adobe subscription ends in November and I’m interested in switching. Are the Serif Black Friday sales this low or should I go for it now? #AffinitySuite #AffinityDesigner #Adobe #CreativeSuite

I've despised #Adobe for a while now due to their subscription based model. I've had no choice other than to continue using #CreativeSuite due to the fact that it is the industry standard. This latest ToS change however is such a security nightmare and beyond unacceptable. Let's hope this means there's a seismic change coming to the industry. Long Overdue!

https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/06/06/adobes-new-terms-of-service-unacceptably-gives-them-access-to-all-of-your-projects-for-free

Adobe's ToS changes could be an AI overreach on user data

A new and mandatory terms of service approval for Adobe Creative Cloud requires users agree to the company getting free access to users' projects, for whatever they want to do with it. That's unacceptable.
