  • In my opinion, social media is extremely harmful to society. Fediverse has implemented some proper moderation, while those more popular platforms tend to amplify what makes this world crazy (and eventually completely destroyed).

    If there’s one reason why it’s not okay that those platforms are more popular than the fediverse, it’s that at least the Fediverse has the chance to properly moderate content, while on those platforms it’s either unmoderated, or even worse, the quality content is oppressed.

    Damn, I’ve been eyeing the Affinity suite for quite a while, but I still couldn’t bring myself to buy it, because they don’t have a Linux version. I do have a Windows on my computer, but it’s only for Rocksmith basically. And I don’t even remember the last time I used it. I don’t wanna buy anything for Windows anymore.

    For now I have to stick to Inkscape, which is amazing in functionality, but I wish it would crash less often when I’m handling large files.


  • Regarding the Adobe part: I see what you’re saying, and I’m uncomfortable with the subscription model too. But to be fair, you never really own software, unless you write it yourself. When you purchase a software license - no matter for what software - you’re purchasing the right to use such software. You aren’t purchasing the software itself. But yes, even that feels better than just a subscription.

    Btw, I’ve read an interesting conversation elsewhere about subscriptions. In some cases it’s not a bad thing at all. If you’re seldom using a software, why would you pay a full boxed price, when you can also just pay the fraction of the price for one month of usage? In my opinion, subscriptions do have their place, but companies should offer a dual pricing model: a boxed one-time price for one version, and a subscription for always the updated version. And it would be up to the customer, which one suits best for their use case. For example, JetBrains does something like this.
