I should research what would be required for that.
I’ll give them credit for sticking with it so far. I even keep getting updates. But I assume they’re brainstorming ways to end the one-time payment installations.
Yeah I’m not going to pay their subscription. The whole point was to avoid Adobe.
Pay three times as much for a “feature” nobody asked for.
I like this (and largely follow it), except that I occasionally need CMYK color space for printing, and GIMP makes that extreeeeeeeeemely difficult and annoying. That’s why I use Affinity. I got the software for the single lifetime price and I’m hoping they let me keep it…
That’s too bad since they recently purchased the excellent Affinity suite… which I originally bought for a single lifetime price, but they’re switching to a subscription model. So my favorite editing suite might get ruined two ways.
This is cool, but are they really the beast we need to bring back? Where will they stay?
I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.
I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn’t support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it’s better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they’re too expensive.
$44 is more than my gym membership, and they have dozens of bikes and other equipment. These Peloton people are diseased.
I’m quoting OP’s summary (or quote). I’m implying that Microsoft is hostile to Linux installations generally.

profitable companies are causes now
Profitable companies don’t get to have “volunteers.” Non-profits and charities get to have those. This is data collection for product development, and advertising for products.
This is a reason for me to not buy a Framework laptop.
Why would you use a chat-bot for decision-making? Fucking morons.
Now everybody will learn that I’m ugly.
