Brian McFaddenI'm still using a 23-year-old edition of Photoshop and it's been the Battlestar Galactica of avoiding every terrible development of the last quarter century of tech.
DressToKILT@mcfadden imagining a bunch of flying toasters trying to get in, but it's not networked! Checkmate, AI!
pete@mcfadden Office '97 and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 from sometime similar get installed on every new laptop I get, and I stole them from a company who had upgraded to a newer shittier version :)

PappyHow? Seriously. Basically, I know it's time to upgrade when things stop working in general. Planned obsolescence, I know, but...
@Pappy My desktop is almost 14, so eventually I may be forced into the enshittied future.
Phogna Bologna@mcfadden CS6 is the only thing keeping me from switching to Linux. It's the '79 Honda of software.
tripleman, a 🇨🇦 in 🇩🇪@bransonturner Same. It’s on a 2009 MacBook Pro and still runs exactly as good as day one*. Just don’t ask about Safari on there and its inability to handle JS though.
*faster because at some point I replaced the HD with an SSD.
@tripleman amazingly CS6 is simple enough that it runs with windows 11, so I can use an updated laptop. Though I'm cautious about going willy nilly with old codecs
Michael Labowicz@mcfadden I think about that example quite often these days
S e l y F r i d a y 🇵🇸@mcfadden Hmmmmmmm CS3 for me!
Nick Montfort@mcfadden “This is Photoshop Actual.”
Emma Liv@mcfadden I seriously want to buy two Mac Mini G4s - one to put OS 9 on for video games, and the other with OS X for old Photoshop and some other stuff. Your post just reminded me :P
It was actually the first computer I owned as an adult, and though I've since been a Linux person for a long time now, I do still miss that little box sometimes.
Furbland's Very Cool Mastodon™@mcfadden what version specifically? /genq
Richard W. Woodley ELBOWS UP 🇨🇦🌹🚴♂️📷 🗺️I'm fine with the 2023 version of Photoshop Elements and it's you buy it you use it software, no subscription fees and no cloud required.
Anne DelongMy version of Photoshop Elements isn't quite that old, but it works fine and I have no intention of upgrading.
