I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
Wow. Before, I could use it with no issues, but then recently, it would just randomly log me out (even on Chrome), so I had to use the app on the Microsoft Store. (Which I'm pretty sure is just a web browser)
Unfortunately they’re still a default app in the business world. Basically everyone at least uses Reader if only because it’s what people expect when they open a PDF.
Fuck Adobe. As an industry professional I have to use multiple offerings from them, and they have ALL gotten worse, rather than better. It all started going downhill when they started their bullshit subscription-only model.
In my experience, companies typically use this message because they only officially support/test on the listed browsers. They block out any other browser to cut down on support emails. If you spoof your user agent so the site thinks you’re using a supported browser, somewhere between 95%-100% of the functionality will usually work just fine.
Companies should test to open web standards and tell users to file a ticket with their browser devs if something breaks because of nonstandard behavior.
That’s what our devops team does. All of my company’s internal web apps are tested against chrome only and that’s all that’s supported. It will usually work with Firefox so it’s not a big deal unless you have an issue and they find out you’re not using Chrome.
I’ve refused to use Adobe for a while because of their bullshit. Their main product I care about is Lightroom, but Darktable is a perfectly fine replacement for it
I’m with you, but Darktable had soo many modules that overlap functions that I couldn’t get a good workflow going. Now, if we had a good foss copy of lightroom that behaved like lightroom, then I’d jump ship. But it is the bees bollocks so far in terms of usability.
That part makes me so mad. I get it if its a “Firefox doesn’t support all the webgl features chrome does” problem, but when its just “we said so, that’s why” its just absolute total bullshit
This is exactly why I switched from Photoshop to Affinity. It’s just as good and somewhat even better than PS and it’s a one time purchase forever. I will never look back.
I have been removing Adobe from my life starting way back with Flash, long before it was discontinued. Then Acrobat and the final thing to go was when I switched to Affinity Photo and Designer and ditched Photoshop. It works every bit as well for me but I never was a Photoshop power user. For a long time the only company that showed up when I searched online to see if my email had been pwned was of course Adobe and that was over a decade ago.
