How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

Someone reminded me it's time to post some alternatives to Adobe software:

#Adobe #Software #productivity #OpenSource #Free

This is your irregular reminder #Adobe are fucking dicks:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3xk3p/adobe-tells-users-they-can-get-sued-for-using-old-versions-of-photoshop

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

So #HumbleBundle has most of #SirTerryPratchett's #Discworld library for $18 dollars.

You should not buy it.

(Of course, if you're not in the US, they've already made the choice for you. Thanks terrible international intellectual property laws!)

Until today, my experience buying #ebooks from Humble Bundle was they were always available unencumbered by #DRM. I have hundreds of #DRMFree #epubs built up over the past decade.

The #PratchettDiscworldHumbleBundle is through #Rakuten #Kobo's ebook shop, and all the books are encumbered by #Adobe and the #AdobeDigitalEdition DRM. There is zero indication that this DRM is included on the bundle page itself. and it explicitly says "Use on Any Device". On the #RakutenKobo page itself, the only indication the file has DRM is some small bottom-text that says "Download Options: EPUB 3 (Adobe DRM)".

Also, DRM Digital Editions will also "helpfully" install Norton for you as well. It's like the dogshit you just stepped in offered to stab you in the kidney, too.

This is shameful and disgusting from Humble Bundle. I know Humble Bundle got acquired years ago by IGN/Ziff Davis, but they'd avoided the levels of #enshittification to make me stop using them.

I want to move to Linux but I need to be able to access my apps that are not supported

Hey, I use the Adobe Suite for daily use to build and develop posts and videos for multiple people and can't have my workflow slow down by learning a new application, I've looked into Linux a few times and want to really move over in the future but due to it not having support for Adobe, I'm not sure what to do....

Hey, remember a decade ago when #Adobe decided to charge a revshare on people using cross-compiled game engines in #Flash and everyone jumped ship to #Unity ? i.e. the exact thing Adobe was trying to prevent?

Oh, I was just wondering if anyone else did.

Something something history rhymes.

Way to go, #Adobe, fixing something that wasn’t broken in LightRoom Mobile 🙄

In the old version, you could switch easily between the Wide & Ultrawide cameras on the iPhone, even if you had DNG/RAW set as your default.

Sure, only the W camera can use RAW, but at least I could get to the UW camera quickly if needed.

But now I have to change the file format to JPG to get access to the UW camera & then change it back to DNG again after to use it with the W camera.

Utterly pointless.

What absolute bullshit:

"We want to let you know about an upcoming change to your personal Creative Cloud account. Adobe is modernising the Creative Cloud storage experience and will begin discontinuing Creative Cloud Synced files on 1 February 2024."

That's not "modernising", that's "shutting down".

I mean, have the decency to be honest, #Adobe.

Ancient ruins, I love them. Stepping back in time, walking where others have walked but are no longer with us. Thought provoking #history. This is the Pecos ruins in New Mexico, adobe church or what is left of it. Fascinating history between the Pecos Indians and the Spanish.

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic on #DRM: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"

#Adobe did it in #Photoshop by allowing #Pantone to revoke access w/o subscription

#Sony #Playstation did it by allowng a deal that allowed #Warner to cancel shows, leaving paying customers without recourse.

This is a #watercolor painting I did a few months ago but hadn't share, until we bought a scanner here in #Greece. It arrived today, I scanned the painting under #Debian #Linux without any issues (or additional drivers), and I fixed the colors with #Gimp. It's the first time I use The Gimp for my paintings (I've used The Gimp on and off since its inception, but not for my artworks). I've been using #Photoshop instead for my collages and paintings, but I stopped my #Adobe subscription a few months ago. It's all #Foss now.

Are there any good tutorials on the Adobe React Aria component library?

Specifically on making an accessible fancy select-a-like that includes images and descriptive text, if such an article exists.

The docs seem good but I've ended up a little stuck anyway, and would appreciate something very step by step to just plough my way through.

Thank you!
