    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.

        Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).

        You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.

        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.

      Every company I’ve ever worked for deserves to be bullied.

      Honestly that’s letting the bastards running those companies get off light

        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.

    I can’t see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover. I’m alright if a for profit websites hides “their” content behind a login wall, it’s their choice, but how lazy is this “journalism” where they don’t copy the images, they just link to the original tweets or whatever they called on bluesky.

      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.

        I use Affinity these days. Although it being purchased by Canva has me very worried.

        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.

        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.

      I remember reading a story a while back about someone who owned a legit CS version with a proper serial and activation.

      They had to change computer, and in doing so had to reactivate Photoshop, but it wasn’t working. They contacted Adobe support and explained the situation but support basically told him nope, not a chance, we aren’t helping you. You need to subscribe to new Photoshop.

      So Adobe accepted that yes, he bought a perpetual licence for Photoshop and that yes, the reason it isn’t working is the online activation, but they still refused to help.

      Scumbags.

      I have to open PDFs all day long at work to read our schematics. No I don’t want an “AI assistant” or an “AI summary” on drawings of electrical wiring. And I need to close multiple menus to get rid of them, and the only option is “disable for this session”, no way to permanently turn them off
