    You’ll still be able to get consoles and cloud stream. The real problem is that the power to create is being taken away from regular people.

      cloud stream

      That literally plays into the concept of big business having a monopoly

          I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

            I’ve never used Photoshop in my life, but use GIMP all the time. Think it has more to do with the workflow you’re accustomed to. Granted, a vi user would probably say the same thing lol.

            Affinity is free as of a couple weeks ago. And there’s talk of a Linux native version being considered iirc.

            Requires a free license, so the old adage about you being the product probably applies.

      It seems the wealthy elite got sick of the “poors” creating memes and having discussions about their stupidity and horrendous actions and want to go back to us plebs just reading a finely reviewed newspaper with all the correct opinions they want us to have in it and none of this “free thought” nonsense.

        “Finely reviewed newspaper”? Mate, everyone actually interested in committing journalism has already headed for the exits. Shit only gets worse from here.
