What fresh hell is this? Adobe has opted me in to letting them train their algorithms on my photos? That’s the end of me using their cloud storage for anything, ever. #privacy #adobe #lightroom #LightroomMobile

@fivetonsflax my computer with the last non-subscription version of the adobe creative suite died a little while ago.

i'm very glad that i decided to switch platforms completely (my selection was greatly assisted by mastodenizens), now that adobe's gone and done this.

@adriftinaotearoa I’m actually completely happy to keep using Lightroom Classic, subscription and all. I just won’t use the cloud functionality any more.

@fivetonsflax adobe's subscription model irks me to no end, but clearly it doesn't bother enough people to affect the company's decisionmaking.

@adriftinaotearoa I like it. I expect them to incur recurring costs to support the software, therefore it seems sensible to me that they charge recurring revenue for it. It aligns their interests with mine. I understand this is a minority viewpoint.

@fivetonsflax oh, i'm not trying to argue that you shouldn't be - if it works for you, it works for you.
