    Cathartic to read. So much potential and goodwill squandered to make the buggiest nonsense whose sole job it is to render text and graphics. Is morbidly funny to see how our collective 8 billion minds haven’t figured out this one thing, built an open source protocol, and moved on. The mind virus, because there is one just not the one that’s oft referenced, is allowing rent seeking monopolies to do a shit job repackaging and enshitiffying basic digital infrastructure. These ideas are so self evident.

    We could have moved on to the next item in the list of solvable problems. But more likely than not Adobe will kick this dead horse for another half century as we all watch. The extraction model is at odds with humanity’s needs. May the realization of this be our eventual salvation.

      How practical is using davinci fusion for adobe stuff, I lowkey love nodes for making amateur visuals and feel like they’d be useful even for stills over layers, im just not sure what people are missing that is typical for a photo worflow when using nodes meant for videos

        I just haven’t used photoshop or illustrstor in ages so I have no idea what I’m missing out on, tried inkscape and gimp a little, both remind me of blender in that they are not intuitive and require watching some tutorials to figure out how to do anything

        Which also goes for nodes, but adobe programs always felt a bit more intuitive and easy to just hop in and figure stuff out, like if you knew one itd be even easier to use another
