I use but I stopped putting my files in their cloud years ago, when it became obvious they were seeing rights over users' work. They never hid it, this is not a surprise.
And all the time they have pushed it harder with apps such as acrobat in your phone automatically saving, and all apps asking to save to the cloud before taking you to the dialogue for local versions

This is a friendly warning and reminder that if you had started looking on ways to move away from #Microsoft and/or #Adobe for their latest shenanigans, do NOT stop now. Make the effort to move away NOW if at all possible even if they pretend to have backtracked. Because WHEN (not IF, but WHEN) they'll pull the same shit again, it will be HARDER, not EASIER, to get out of their prison.

Remember when Unity self destructed with the whole run-time fee and all their competitors dunked on them?

Well... it's Adobe's turn.

Affinity have announced a 50% off Flash sale on their Adobe-alternative software Affinity.

Bye bye !

Je n'avais pas renouvelé l'abonnement à Photoshop, et il était échu depuis quelques jours, mais là j'ai passé à l'étape suivante.

Pour ceux qui se le demandent: j'ai passé à Gimp/Inkscape. même si je sacre par bout, mais bon à force de s'en servir, ça va finir par rentrer.

Welp. I was debating canceling my #Adobe Creative Cloud renewal (was set to renew mid-June), but with Adobe's latest #AI move, that sealed the deal.

I've been mostly using iPad alternatives for a while now anyway, so time to go all-in there!

B-bye, Adobe. Thanks for all the fish.

After a terms of service update that infuriated artists, and an initial statement that poured gasoline on the fire, Adobe has made a clear statement about its new use terms.

@appleinsider A well-written piece. Hits on two key points in the statement:

a. The latter wasn't really in question.
b. The former is oddly specific

The statement is hilariously transparent, every word tweaked to avoid their actual plan, and thereby exposing said plan.

"Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content."

"does not" – present tense (so you will in the future?)

"Firefly Gen AI models" – our Gen2Pro Models, tho, we gonna train that up in your content!

I of course used to use big time in my early web days. Once they went subscription, I did annual for a few years then dropped them for Pixelmator Pro (a app that I paid a one-time fee for, but paid to update later).

https://www.pixelmator.com/pro/

Not only does it do 90% of what I ever needed for, it's mostly got the same key commands so my muscle memory didn't need much re-training.

»Adobe will Zugriff auf Inhalte von Photoshop-Usern:
Der Konzern hat seine Nutzungsbedingungen aktualisiert. Wer zustimmt, gibt dem Unternehmen das Recht, auf seine Daten zuzugreifen.«

Ich empfehle und nutze schon länger @krita, @GIMP, @inkscape, @Blender und/oder @penpot aber ich bin ja kein Grafikprofi. Abgesehen davon wird selten zugegeben, dass die Fixierung auf einen Hersteller nicht unbedingt professionell ist.

🧵 …und immer noch wird Apple so wie Adobe als professionell und nicht als Spionage oder/und Ausnutzung angesehen. Vom Copyright und Co. sprechen wir hier noch gar nicht, denn dies ist so umgesetzt keine Freiheit.

@kubikpixel Was da macht ist nicht akzeptabel. Trotzdem werden es alle Idioten vermutlich schlucken. Warum Apple Software SpyWare sein soll, kann ich allerdings nicht im Ansatz nachvollziehen / nachempfinden.

Whilst I find the whining of #Windows and #Adobe users about privacy infringing changes mildly annoying (We've been telling you for 20+ years that tying yourself to multi-billion-dollar corporations was a bad idea, but most of you actively chose that anyway), this might be the final push for public institutions and companies to demand open standards and formats in order to award contracts.

This gives me a bit of hope.

The tricky thing about being a company that I don't trust is that even when you try to clarify something you need to be aware that specificity can sound suss.

"Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content."

The way this is worded does not say your content is not used in training AI models, just that it's - SPECIFICALLY - not used to train "Firefly Gen AI models."

I don’t understand the outrage over #adobe’s EULA. The new terms are basic boilerplate. Anyone hosting content on the web has the same terms in their EULA.

Am I missing something? Or is this just another hoopla over nothing?

Veo gente que depende en exclusiva de software de #Microsoft igual que los artistas que dependen exclusivamente de software de #Adobe y no soy capaz de imaginarme tranquilamente apostando todo a una sola compañía aun sabiendo que esa compañía está dejando de ofrecer un buen servicio y perdiendo la ventaja competitiva frente a otras a nivel de utilidad y accesibilidad.
Para usos puntuales que siguen resultando convenientes es razonable, pero no tener ni la menor curiosidad en aprender de otras...

Adobe was selling stock art --generated via AI--claiming it was produced by Ansel Adams. They have pulled the offending images, which were sold as "Ansel Adams-Style Photography" https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/ansel-adams-estate-ai-generated-images-adobe-controversy-1234708739/ #ai #photography #anseladams
