Deserved. Fuck Adobe!
Why dont they get bullied on X as well?
Consider X’s current audience and you’ll have your answer
What would be a good alternative to Adobe After Effects ? Something that works in the same way.
I only used kdenlive an open source Video editor, I do not know how similar it is to AE though.
- cut and arange video snippets in a timeline
- apply effects like transform/lens to video
- I can apply simple audio effects with the pitch effect, or generate white noise. Slow down Video
- they have AI-effects and audio editing in their roadmap …
Sounds similar to AE from what I read on its wiki entry
That is a video editor much like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so would not be a replacement for AE. After Effects is essentially Photoshop but with motion and animation. It’s mostly for VFX and Motion Graphics. Not video editing or audio.
I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.
Is it possible to learn such sorcery ?
I was so happy to help in ensuring it ocurred
adobe will charge you $20 a month to read their skeets then charge a $100 cancellation fee if you want to stop following them.
It’s $20 for the readers bundle, $1289 per year if you want to see photos and comment.
what are skeets
Tweets, but BSky. It’s gross on purpose because the devs didn’t want it to catch on and they Streisand’d. They’ve since embraced it lmao.
Slang term for ejaculating, usually with some projectile distance implied. Very popular term in the mid-2000’s, see Get Low by Lil Jon.
Skeet skeet motha fucka
Skeets ahead or behind?
Apparently tweets, but on bluesky
The CEO asked people not to make skeets catch on, so of course that’s the word for them.
My skeets always catch on.
I’m guessing blue sky version of tweets
That’s correct. It’s stupid so I just say tweets.
FAFO
I’ve replaced my Adobe Audition with Reaper. I do recommend it
Finally lost my reaper purchase after nearly 15 years. Remember when buying it at uni thinking of been a bit hard done by I was only supported till like version 7
I didn’t, but I do want more people to switch to Reaper so that they can get more money and keep getting better.
From being digitally issued the “curse of RA”
Lmao
Honestly nah, there are lots of other good options. Support the devs and people fueling real creativity rather than staying in Adobe’s ecosystem, paid or not.
Honestly nah, there are lots of other good options.
Unfortunately as someone who uses Adobe programs for work, the FLOSS alternatives are just not there yet :/ (especially considering how seamlessly Adobe programs work together)
My partner is a graphic designer and although she undeniably had some growing pains switching away from Adobe, she hasn’t looked back.
Thanks, that’s interesting to hear! Can I ask what sort of graphic design she does?
My work primarily involves CMYK publications made in InDesign, using graphics made in Illustrator and Photoshop. So inter-operability and compatibility with professional CMYK printing are key for my needs.
She also worked with Photoshop and Illustrator. She does many things. Freelance design work for people, as well advertising design for her work. She also does design for our website and ttrpg hobbies.
Thanks, glad to hear the alternatives work for her! Does she use FLOSS ones (Inkscape, Scribus, GIMP, Krita, etc.) or Affinity’s programs?
Affinity primarily.
I use Affinity these days. Although it being purchased by Canva has me very worried.
Exactly this.
Any Lightroom classic alternative?
In the theme of above lightroom classic (cracked)
Otherwise not really. You’re looking at digiKam for the library management side and either RawTherapee or Darktable for editing.
Rawtherapee or darktable for example.
Had me at the first 1/10th.

On macOS I found that getting Photoshop to stay cracked was a hassle. This didn’t make me buy Photoshop, it just made me use something else.
I had a legit copy of CS6 for my windows computer, then switched to Mac and was unable to get a copy for it so I kept my windows laptop around for graphic design.
It died and now I use Affinity on my Mac and iPad.
I dumped Adobe completely several years ago, and found that Pixelmator has been an excellent Photoshop replacement. It even now does vector images - used to use an app called Graphic for that (for an Illustrator replacement), but should now be able to do all of that from Pixelmator.
Yeah, I used Adobe CS3 on the Mac for a very long time, because I may have had the activation key for my college’s site license…
That never gave me any trouble. But using other keys or cracks, a real pain in the ass.
Ooooo nostalgia. Who remembers the time of Aldus Freehand and Aldus Pagemaker, Quark XPress and Ventura Publisher. Those where the days :-) 😍
We should all be bullying companies more… Less bullying people and more bullying companies and orgs!!
Yes people make up a company blah blah blah… Don’t care. Just don’t bully the people working there.
The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.
Well yeah I said leave the people working there alone and target the corp or org. And my reasons are what you just outlined in great detail. They are victims of capitalism.
Who do you think should be next?
Boycott all shitty companies… We make a list and we keep adding shitty companies to the list and present a list of alternatives.
I am really staring to detest most of the biggies. Amazon. Nestle, google. I’m not even American and I think the health companies need hounding.
I’ve spent a good portion of the past 5 years detangling my life from them. The unfortunate hard one I face is amazon.
All companies need hounding in this hypercapitalist situation we have found ourselves into.
Amazon has been the easiest to get rid of for me. I just stopped buying shit. I’d rather do without than continue supporting this. My Alexa’s got dumped. I just need to replace my firestick and I am done.
Its the subscriptions, it makes my monthly stuff easier to manage. Other grocery stores have merged anyway so it’s kinda watching 2 monsters fight, either way we are fucked lol. Alexa I get that. The firestick is decent hardware for the price you can try side loading Kodi and using that to bypass all their amazon BS. That way you get their subsidized hardware and avoid their ads.
Do you think we need a crusade group? I noticed a story about a tent group making money out of the camps earlier. Maybe we can all torment them. Happy to give a portion of my day bullying corps.
Every company I’ve ever worked for deserves to be bullied.
Honestly that’s letting the bastards running those companies get off light
And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.
I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.
Bullying a bully is not bullying.
Followed by his Starlink connection dropping out.
So, cyberbullying and toxic gamer communities are very much a thing and definitely a problem, but I have to admit, that story really did make day… I laughed for a while, I shared it with my neighbors, it’s still fucking funny!
You know, the thing is… the whole mess was entirely Elon’s fault. If he just wanted an escape from his stressful life, he could totally just play the game and it would work out fine for him. But because he felt the narcissistic need to live stream it (because he apparently desperately needs others to tell him how awesome he is), he got his stupid face kicked into the mud. And that’s really on him…
There’s definitely a power dynamic aspect to bullying. Bullying down? Or bullying another shmoe? Not great. Bullying a rich powerful asshole? Different story.
Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).
You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.
An old meme once said:
The only good nazi…
You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa.
Yessir
Just don’t bully the people working there.
What if they’re C-suite
They aren’t people, they are demons. So my rule still stands 🤣
Key word is “working” people. C-Suite don’t work, just tell others to work.
If one isn’t a total nutcase who can pass every left wing social purity test ever devised you will be bullied off of Bluesky. Just like if you cannot do the same in reverse with right wing purity tests on Twitter.
Adobe sucks, but Bluesky is trash as well. Which should have been expected considering it is a Twitter clone.
Where you bullied of Bluesky for saying something they didn’t like?
Nah, I left before it got that bad when I noticed I was being blocked and put on mass “block lists” with MAGA folk for saying the Democrats are just as much to blame for Trump as the Republicans are.
You think that people blocking you is “bullying”? Nobody is required to listen to you.
Not what I said. But go off.
Jesus Fucking Christ man… is this really how you see the world?
OP’s being abrasive, but I sympathize with the sentiment. Bluesky is algorithmic just like Twitter.
…Dunno about Bluesky, but Lemmy feels like a political purity test to me. Like, I love Lemmy and the Fediverse, but at the same time mega upvoted posts/comments like “X person should kill themself,” explulsion of nuance in specific issues, leaks into every community and such are making me step back more and more.
Spoiler: if you didn’t like reddit, you won’t like Lemmy.
Counterpoint: There are extremely good reasons to hate Reddit which don’t apply here. For example, the Lemmy admins don’t regard the users with abject hatred
Bluesky’s algorithm is entirely optional and replaceable with user built algorithms
Agree that BlueSky is trash, but it’s more of a shitlib echo chamber. I agree though that the problem is largely intrinsic to the structure. Public microblogging and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity etc.
Funny you mention that, I was just reading this 2019 article on starbreaker about the hard limits of public microblogging as we’ve been reproducing it over and over, even here on the fediverse.
It’s kind of got under my skin.
It’s pretty easy in both places actually, just don’t talk about politics.
Turns out our Grandparents were pretty damn smart with that “Don’t talk about Religion and Politics” rule.
Your Grandparents had a Nazi problem that was never resolved as a result of “Not talking politics”. One cannot resolve bad politics or religion by ignoring it until it goes away.
“Three things you should never talk about at work: politics, religion, and seggs.” Ageless advice.
And if I were using a work account, I’d agree with you.
I know Adobe is a dick of a company but all this event shows is how toxic Bluesky is. Seems the toxicity joined them from X.
No shit. It’s like people who join Lemmy and then complain when it’s too much like reddit. The design of the platform determines what kind of community you get. People on Bluesky are going to bully corpos because that’s what they did on Twitter, and both of those platforms make it really, really easy.
I don’t necessarily agree that this means blue sky is toxic (and I’m speaking as someone who doesn’t use the app), I see it as a toxic company finding out what people think of them.
As you noted adobe is a dick (and that’s one hell of an understatement), and they regularly make anti-consumer choices with their software and pricing. This is just them seeing what you’ve been ignoring for a decade or more.
Maybe the multi billion dollar company should
growsubscribe to my monthly subscription to thicker skin.I reckon it would have been far sweeter if they were completely ignored IMHO. 1000% more brutal. Toxic people tend to need to put it out there.
