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.

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.
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.
Adobe is cracked in torrents, the master’s collection. Adobe to me was just pdf editor and an animator or maybe designing clothes, the other stuff was new. Before all websites were done through Java.
It was cracked and put on there by the guy who was selling it because if he went somewhere else he had to pay to use the programs, and other employees did as well, it’s a group that does it. The same group that watched Warner bros cartoons in the early 2000s and looked over shoulders of others using computers. I said not to let anyone see the monitor turned on or they get addicted to it. It was that risky with computers or smartphones.
The union does this as well with auto desk. But in the original computer or in Linux studios, or steam, I mean in Xbox, the programs had no name.
Apple or Adobe as Apple and the reverse, does this intense marketing economy thing, and no one going anywhere besides them, they all used Mac products only because Mac was always smooth to use or something or they had older ones and made newer ones without Intel. Apple/Adobe keeps everyone broke or in debt or with small amounts of money or all the same or similar, but it’s like it capitalist potential or habitual drug use and using or buying anything that existed and traveling in automobiles even short distances. It became all porn/only fans with them or something.
They’re after all the boxed and bagged food and Mc Donald’s. But Mc Donald’s created that software.
Adobe makes it simple to do stuff like animations and website creation, and all that, there’s a long list of programs, designing clothes and movie editing, game stuff.
He kidnapped me by having me sit here in 2014 after I sold him a phone that was almost better than a computer, but he thought he was getting the master banking phone computer. A parasite did this pretending to be Mac thing then ran into Adobe which is where Apple stuff was sold, next to the Bank of England near the Ohio turn pike or further south east of Columbus. He was my biggest fan, the biggest fan of Warner Bro/Walt Disney, he won a contest where he got to meet me. What he really wanted to do was ruin the internet and online shopping or economics even drugs entirely and stock up on old boxed bagged processed food and run off somewhere to sit around watching free television like he was Italian in the 90s. You know why they call it the 90s right? Because it’s in the 90s in the summer and at least 75 the rest of the year. But we preferred the 90s but it was also the 1980s and 1990s.
Maybe that’s why the union had Kirk hit me with a dodge challenger in a blizzard on foot in 2014, I liked walking in a blizzard. Sometimes cartoons were to brainwash everyone and keep them sitting there or our lives were ruined, these people only eat and multiply like crazy, only capitalism went on for food or they got a job there. Nothing was durable and anyone just grabbed anything and took it somewhere else and used it or got whatever they could out of it.
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!
