I've had to cave and use some services (for work reasons) that I'd swore I would never use. No matter how much we value privacy and look for alternative software/services when possible - we still have to eat and pay bills.
If you are in the same boat and you must use services like that, then my advice would be to keep it strictly business. Keep your personal details and personal social connections to a minimum unless where it would be otherwise beneficial for work purposes.
Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.
For the kind of work I have been doing I have not needed to hand over any psd files. Photoshop is(was) only a small step in my workflow and the main thing I get hired for is 3D modelling services. Regardless, I still work with NDA'd content and Adobe's terms are invasive as hell.
Just cancelled my Adobe sub. Even if I was comfortable with how they use my data (and I am most assuredly fucking not) I'm also uncomfortable with them helping themselves to the NDA'd projects I do for clients. I trialed Affinity Photo and it meets 98% of my needs and is on sale 50% off right now. Bite my ass, Adobe.
Almost nothing. I don't like how loud they are.
Welp, there goes my morning. Now I have to spend a few hours unfucking everything.
Never trusting this app ever again.
Used to a lot, but use dropped off a lot as I started to work more. I do use it often when I travel... but I don't actually travel much at all. It was free (game awards) so I'm not too upset over that. Maybe I'll look into getting some of my old childhood favourites running on it as a challenge project.
This is disabled if you turn off telemetry in the settings, which users should already be doing anyway. I don't see this as any worse than what they already do.
Holy crap. They actually found a way to do it worse than Apple. Congrats, that's quite an achievement.
I wish I could make useless trash and be given unfathomable amounts of money by infinitely gullible investors.
Grass is green, water is wet, the sky is blue, and privacy settings don't do anything.
