I just love this guy when he’s riled up. Makes me feel all warm and cozy 🤣

I fucking love Louis, knows his shit, isn’t afraid to call shitfuckery out for what it is.
I genuinely can’t recall a video of his I’ve watched that hasn’t been informative, entertaining or both.
My opinion if him continues to climb, however, as instructed, if he ever uses adobe premiere for a video and I find out about it, it’s an unsub from me.
Adobe responds
Louis reacts
I ignore his video and make a shitty joke about wishing he would use his right to repair to fix his channel.
For once the username actually reflects the intelligence of a user.
He’s doing gods work. I love his wit and I can’t believe he’s single handedly fighting for right to repair.
Started watching him repair boards back in the day, enjoyed him going after companies to start with, and it’s just become exhausting now
I get where you’re coming from, however I reckon he’s doing a huge public service in this regard, imagine someone just happens to click on one of his vids and learns how scummy corpos are. That’s why I believe he should continue with these callouts, but yeah I’d like to see more actual repair stuff in future.
This guy is a fucking hero for calling out these companies’ bullshit practices like that. I don’t really care if there’s some misstep about the open source thing. The content that I’ve seen from him is still good in my opinion.
Fuck Adobe.
Designers if youre in a pinch, photopea.com is free.
Lemme guess, he doesn’t agree with Adobe like the rest of the internet?
I cannot confirm nor deny.
Can you not use Adobe offline?
Nope. Creative Cloud requires internet access for DRM.
You don’t have to save your files to Adobe cloud, if that’s what you mean. It does check for a valid license occasionally, but I’ve used Photoshop when my internet was out without any problems in the past.
No. They check validation constantly with their daemon and while you can technically loop it back using hacks, no studio is doing that.

Not feasible in a work environment. Photopea works just fine if you simply need CS6 level Ps. Just need a browser.

Browser based photo editing as a SaaS is haram.
Wooooow…
They are considered malware at this point. The telemetry they collect the fact that your machine has to run a slew of daemons and that they are binding it all behind your mandatory Adobe account that has all your financial details, kinda shows how users rights are in the dark ages digitally speaking.
Yeah I’m just gonna stick with Vimeo…
Probably not
No idea, I haven’t used anything form that company in about 7 years.
I don’t trust this grifter after he tried to rewrite the definition of open source.
You don’t have to agree to someone in full or in none. There is no 0 or 1 here.
Yeah he got so much publicity with his little NY shop hating on Apple. Which is amusing because those people Apple turned away were what made him. Not citing with Apple but I’ve never trusted this dude. Most of his “pioneering” in freedoms and rights all serve his own interests and he’s always grandstanding to bolster his popularity.
Can you elaborate on that? I don’t really follow him that closely. I thought he was the guy that fights for right to repair.

FUTO is the organisation Rossmann works for.
Thanks for that. Almost all the software I use is open source, and honestly I don’t pay close enough attention to what the license is. I should probably read up on them, but I’m not profiting off them either and I try to contribute where I can.
GrayJay my ass
TLDR: do not use GrayJay
I don’t say I trust him, don’t even know him. Having said that, his videos are mostly well evidenced, and it is still super fun to see him blasting these companies.
He also repeats himself a lot. A lot. Keeps repeating himself which is why his videos are 2h. Because he just keeps repeating himself. A lot.
Just watch the first 5-10min and once you think you’ve heard something before, find something else to watch 🤷
Lol. Lol. Lol.
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.
And your clients are ok getting these files? Speaking for the studios I’ve worked out, our clients wouldn’t stick around if we didn’t give them industry standard files (psds, etc.).
What upsets me the most is everyone let me build a monopoly that has been strangleholding the design industry for like 2 decades.
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.
Ya no argument there. Adobe is way out of bounds. We have largely moved to Figma but that was like pulling teeth as every was using Ps and Ai when I joined. Ai for wireframes had me tossing at night not gonna lie!
I remember when figma was about to be bought out by adobe, thankfully the deal got terminated for anti monopology reasons
Yeah thank the heavens the deal was squashed. It was a bold move even for Adobe.
You can export files as PSD and tiff with affinity, so it should work with clients
The PSDs it spits out lose a lot of editing capabilities and have limited functionality. TIFF is destructive our clients would shit if we gave them tiffs.
He looks like a raccoon and should get some sleep :p
It makes me think why haven’t these companies got suied out of existence 😮💨🙄
I do love the term “Rufiee E.U.L.A.”
Because honestly that’s mostly what they are.
