I of course used to use #Adobe big time in my early web days. Once they went subscription, I did annual for a few years then dropped them for Pixelmator Pro (a #MacOs app that I paid a one-time fee for, but paid to update later).
»Adobe will Zugriff auf Inhalte von Photoshop-Usern:
Der Konzern hat seine Nutzungsbedingungen aktualisiert. Wer zustimmt, gibt dem Unternehmen das Recht, auf seine Daten zuzugreifen.«
Ich empfehle und nutze schon länger @krita, @GIMP, @inkscape, @Blender und/oder @penpot aber ich bin ja kein Grafikprofi. Abgesehen davon wird selten zugegeben, dass die Fixierung auf einen Hersteller nicht unbedingt professionell ist.
🧵 …und immer noch wird Apple so wie Adobe als professionell und nicht als Spionage oder/und Ausnutzung angesehen. Vom Copyright und Co. sprechen wir hier noch gar nicht, denn dies ist so umgesetzt keine Freiheit.

»Adobe's new terms of service unacceptably gives them access to all of your projects, for free«
@kubikpixel Was #Adobe da macht ist nicht akzeptabel. Trotzdem werden es alle Idioten vermutlich schlucken. Warum Apple Software SpyWare sein soll, kann ich allerdings nicht im Ansatz nachvollziehen / nachempfinden.
Whilst I find the whining of #Windows and #Adobe users about privacy infringing changes mildly annoying (We've been telling you for 20+ years that tying yourself to multi-billion-dollar corporations was a bad idea, but most of you actively chose that anyway), this might be the final push for public institutions and companies to demand open standards and formats in order to award contracts.
The tricky thing about being a company that I don't trust is that even when you try to clarify something you need to be aware that specificity can sound suss.
"Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content."
The way this is worded does not say your content is not used in training AI models, just that it's - SPECIFICALLY - not used to train "Firefly Gen AI models."
I don’t understand the outrage over #adobe’s EULA. The new terms are basic boilerplate. Anyone hosting content on the web has the same terms in their EULA.
Am I missing something? Or is this just another hoopla over nothing?
Veo gente que depende en exclusiva de software de #Microsoft igual que los artistas que dependen exclusivamente de software de #Adobe y no soy capaz de imaginarme tranquilamente apostando todo a una sola compañía aun sabiendo que esa compañía está dejando de ofrecer un buen servicio y perdiendo la ventaja competitiva frente a otras a nivel de utilidad y accesibilidad.
Para usos puntuales que siguen resultando convenientes es razonable, pero no tener ni la menor curiosidad en aprender de otras...
#Adobe used images from #Midjourney to train its “ethical” #AI. Now, it’s using Ansel Adams’ name and artistic style to in its tools. Adobe’s position against using unlicensed works to train LLMs was never one of principle. Rather, it already had access to copyrighted works, so “ethical” was a means to exclude competition while concurrently violating the principle anyway. https://mastodon.social/@verge/112552260437207900
Many of us photographers try to channel Ansel Adams' vision. Maybe someday attitudes will shift about AIs training at scale on millions of images, seeing it more like millions of photographers training at the individual level. Today, it's a fraught issue. #Adobe#AIhttps://www.threads.net/@anseladams/post/C7nOLfgP3Uf
Talos recently disclosed two vulnerabilities in #Adobe#Acrobat, along with multiple remote code execution issues in a popular line of PLC CPU modules. Get caught up on the vulns our team recently helped to disclose, and patch, in our latest Vulnerability Roundup. https://blog.talosintelligence.com/vulnerability-roundup-may-29-2024/
You know what would be nice? Knowing that if you can read/place/open one image file format in one #adobe Creative Cloud product, you will be able to work with it in another Adobe Creative Cloud program as well.
