    What you’re saying would apply if I hadn’t already learned it 20 years ago. This idea implies that for me not to “support” them by giving them no money, I have to learn entirely new, likely less capable software, in some cases. I mean, I wish I had time for that, but absolutely nope.

      Oh dear Winston, don’t you love big brother?

      You are the Neo in The Matrix, a prisoner of the struggle you are so thoroughly convinced you chose to fight in. The Ghorman protester running in shouting your rebellion at the Empire’s beat into the plaza.

      So completely brainwashed that even the concept of winning the fight frightens and freezes you.

      Rebels who admire their oppressors make marketers salivate.

      That’s you.

        Lol that is cringy as fuckkkkk.

        And you couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve ranted about how much I despise Adobe on many, many occasions.

        Two things can be true: Adobe is a huge piece of shit parasite evil capitalist bunch of fuckfaces, and some of their products are good even outside of the bias I have by having learned them and being able to use them like second nature. Adobe Illustrator, for example, is a fantastic vector graphics editor.

        It must be a hard life you lead, always ignoring practicalities and adhering to ideology. I don’t have the luxury of having 15 hours each day to learn a new Photoshop equivalent. I really wanted to make Gimp work for me but it’s just painful. The day I can figure out all the basic features without a painful struggle, I’ll switch to it in fact.
