You heard #Adobe. Deep down you knew this was coming. Now all your art are belong to them. Time to move on to better things…

* Blender - ditto
Im glad open source creative software is so good now, i havent cared about adobe in ages
If you are a creative freelancer and have any confidentiality agreement with your clients, then it is now impossible to use Adobe without violating those agreements.
And there is massive liability if you mess it up.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social now do Substance Painter
@mathias @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Materialize, Blender + addons like Mask Tools
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social where’s the love for xfig?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Don’t forget Darktable!
Thank God … I’ve been on Gimp and Scribus for the past 15 years, mainly because I could never afford Adobe products for the little bit of work I needed them for.
I was open source a long time ago because I just couldn’t afford paying for stuff for the little time I needed software. Now I’m happy to be fully open source and even contribute with donations to the projects I like the most. I donate annually now to projects like Wikipedia, Libreoffice, Scribus and Fediverse developers and projects.
This is one criticism I’ll always have with open source supporters … if you want open source alternatives, contribute with donations to them. Give anything you can afford … $1, $2, $10 … because they need money to survive and stay engaged and committed to their project.
If we all just stand aside and take advantage of free open software and not give anything, then we are no better than the corporations we were trying to avoid. Instead of corporations taking advantage of us, we are taking advantage of developers.
So if you want these open projects to live and survive, contribute to them with whatever you got. If we all just gave a dollar each to these projects, no matter what they are, the developers would have more than enough to maintain their work.
And whatever you contribute, it will be far less than the hundreds of dollars annually you would have given to a big corporation that would have just counted your money as profit and not directly contribute or support the actual developers.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @noondlyt Don’t forget Serif / Affinity! Left Adobe for them a decade ago, first class tools 👏🏽
We would like to remind you that both @Krita and @kdenlive are currently running fundraisers:
#Krita :
God damn Adobe… we know you are bad but not THAT bad.
What happened?
They updated their TOS to say they can access and review anything you create on their products: https://80.lv/articles/people-aren-t-happy-with-adobe-s-spyware-like-terms-of-service-update/
access and review
and censor and re-use and use to train their AI… Basically they own your art.
Edit: That said, most predictable scummy move of Adobe’s long history of scummy moves.
And the product director is openly lying about it:
We are not accessing or reading Substance users’s projects in any way, shape or form nor are we planning to or have any means to do it in the first place.
It’s either that, or their lawyers decided to put that in without asking him? There needs to be some serious legislation for when companies try to pull this off

I don’t trust it. To me, it seems like they are pulling back stuff after public backlaah.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Now all your* art belongs* to them.
