It’s as if they are in the business of making money or something

It’s ultimately up to the government to regulate both. They’re asleep at the wheel on point #2.

“Theftbots” 👍 clever word

perconstantine.bsky.social•64 days ago

I can’t take credit. I’ve seen others using it.

This is blowing up. While you’re here, I write books. You can get some for free at the link. And there’s no DRM. https://www.percivalconstantine.com/subscribe/

Writer’s Guild just finished stabbing the Internet Archive through the liver. Are they going to even call their lawyers about microsoft & google?

Their market practices and software support make me wanna bash my head in

I keep telling people to try to find CS5 or 6 (pre-cloud) versions. I still use mine, and they're absolutely fine for many/most needs. YMMV, but I suspect that most of the new stuff added only causes problems for every solution. PScs6 is great, I'll use it until the wheels come off.

Not an option if you’re a Mac user on anything above Mojave. 32-bit apps won’t run.

animatewithdermot.bsky.social•64 days ago

A shame. I'm on Windows (10). No intention of going to 11, and will shift to Linux MINT if I can't disable recall. I have my limits! Any legacy apps I'll continue to use on an offline Win10 machine.

If you do switch to Linux and have a pretty beefy machine, running windows in a vm isnt too bad

animatewithdermot.bsky.social•64 days ago

Good idea, I've had zero luck with WINE.

They’ll get it too

It's almost as if different corporations have different interests, because they work in different sectors, or produce different products.

Brutally honest and true. Infuriating.

Corporations are trying to at least pretend to be more human though that’s why they are investing so heavily in Ai so that they can better pass as people to get that sweet government kickback

AI apps should have to pay royalties based on prompt input. “Imagine a Tim Burton style character…”
Tim gets a buck.

We’ve killed the gods before, we may have to do it again. Support politicians at every level of governance that will reduce the power of these immortal, all consuming monsters.

ooh don't forget owning the copyright on the output of the theftbot

movezig.bsky.social•64 days ago

Show some respect. That'll bring Senator Theftbot someday.
