I’m not sure if one /s cancels another out or multiplies it.


I’ve used it to set academic (mostly scientific) works and it was rather lovely in that context… But it really highlights that sometimes efficiency isn’t always what you want in a creative process.

I see Resolve has just moved to challenge Lightroom too, which is kinda of amazing.


Between the affinity apps, reaper and Resolve there’s a fairly competent replacement set for Adobe apps on windows.


I wish Linux was as good.


My main gripe is the lack of professional typesetting software. Scribus just doesn’t cut it.

Your account is 2 months old.

You called me "dense".

Not really in a position to opine there.

Ok chief. Because it really reads like you just said that in the comment above.

How's that working out for you, chief?

... But more sensibly, the argument you are using enables corporations to steal the work and labour of individuals.

It is the argument that means only middle class wealthy individuals get to make art.

It's a shite argument, and it's been debunked a ton of times.

I don't think pithy means what you think it means.

So, something is only theft if it is profitable?

That's a wonderfully liberating new definition.

This isn't piracy though.

They aren't consuming media. They are reselling it.

They aren't downloading a film to watch or "illegally" accessing a text.

They are using the unpaid labour of other humans as *their* product and will gouge the rest of society for it through entertainment media, civil infrastructure and healthcare.

Whilst your pithy, cliched statement is fun to throw around when we talk about torrenting a marvel movie, it's completely useless in this context.

That's probably because Google are deliberately nerfing your viewing because you are using an ad blocker.

They tell you as much in the little pop up.

Aside from the visual cues. The context is clearly bullshit too.
