  • Adobe hikes Creative Cloud prices with a rebrand no one asked for

    If what you need is an equivalent of Adobe's Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, check out what Affinity offers. One option is apps for all platforms—Mac, Windows and iPad—for a one-time payment of $164.99. No subscription cost. That's about what Adobe charges for a couple of months rent.

    Does it work well with print houses which only use Adobe?

    I had the problem recently where I couldn't get Pixelmator to export to .ai format (guessing this disappeared when Apple bought them). So I tried exporting to PDF, but it wouldn't preserve the layers when the print house opened the file in Illustrator. Even though reopening the PDF in Pixelmator showed the layers just fine. Smells like there's Adobe lock-in, and so I'm wondering if Affinity figured out a way around it.

    That still exists?!
    It used to be the only wait to preserve all of the extended file attributes on Mac files when transferring them to different machines across a network. I remember totally ruining an iPhoto library transferring it via SMB about 20 years ago. But now that SMB and iCloud Drive work well (haven't used AFP for about 10 years), it's definitely time to retire it.

    And here we go with AI generated comments designed to keep real people locked in the Matrix of arguing with social media bots while nothing changes in the real world

    Indeed, in most democratic countries this money giving process during elections would be seen as outright corruption. 
    Pretty much my view as well. When it costs over $1bn to run a political campaign, you know that the people who contributed that money are going to want something in return for it. This is where the ideals of democracy, where you have a government which truly acts in the best interests of the country (not the small minority who contribute to their party), fall down.

    Time to come out of your news bubble. China shutting down majority of factories calling it a worker holiday. With no wages of course and no idea when or if factories will reopen. Factory owners all over tik tok selling equipment showing the devastation. Two more weeks and 80% of factories will close. Four two six weeks Chinese economic collapse. Most Chinese companies receiving nothing but order cancellations. Chinese are terrified. Those videos are shocking. I had no idea their economy could be brought down so fast. 
    Ask others to come out of news bubble and then he writes the most stupid thing in the thread
    haha, I was thinking exactly the same thing. No one has EVER posted anything fake on social media before to manipulate public opinion /s

    People have lost critical thinking skills so badly that they can't discern random social media posts from real journalism anymore. And that's exactly what the power brokers of the world are taking advantage of.
