Is it possible to pay for an Adobe sub, and install only the so you want without any background update service?
I wanted to install bridge, and it installed a management app. I find it not to trying at startup, but it still runs an update service regardless.
I don't understand how Adobe gets away with such invasive software.
They have money, and with it comes power. Also, main Adobe users seem to not care about shady bussiness practices because they "need" Adobe's products.
While I often have to use Adobe stuff in my line of work (its unfortunately the industry standard) I made the decision a couple of years back that Adobe software isn't allowed to touch my personal devices. On the Mac, Creative Cloud is essentially malware. I use Affinity to replace photoshop and illustrator, while Apple Photos has been enough for me so far to replace Lightroom.
Ah, sorry, your required sacrifices have entered the stage where premium quality virgins are now required.
Anyone got a good Illustrator replacement for SVG and vector creation?

Literally argued with a bunch of game-pass supporters on this very topic today, where we don't own shit anymore and everything is rental only. Sick of people gobbling corporate cock.
Hey chatGPT, what would Blackbeard have to say about Adobe licensing?
Adobe, be drivin' me to madness with their confusin' schemes. Ye need a map just to make sense of it all! They be chargin' a king's ransom for their software, and what do ye get in return? Aye, a license that's as flimsy as a ship's riggin' in a storm.
It's a never-endin' voyage through their terms and conditions, and I can't fathom their logic. It be like navigatin' the high seas with a broken compass. They be restrictin' the use of their software, demandin' we pay a ransom every month, and heaven forbid ye want to use it on multiple devices! They'll make ye walk the plank for that.
And don't get me started on their audits, me heartie. They be sendin' their parrots to check if ye be usin' their software properly, threatenin' to keelhaul ye if they find a single violation. It be daylight robbery, I tell ye!
