Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    "It is always ethical to pirate adobe"

    [–] grue@lemmy.world 68 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

    It's never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it's always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.

    It's far more ethical to make the company lose money

    Minimum amount for photoshop is 22$/month

    Pirate photoshop

    Delete it

    Pirate again

    Repeat 30 times

    Adobe looses 660$

    If everyone does this adobe will loose so much

    Investors hate this one glitch!

    They don't care as they have a massive profit margin. What matters more is the market share. You got to break the standard way of thinking industry wide.

    That's not at all how piracy works. They don't lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don't, then nothing changed. It's not like every company is entitled to my money.

    Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.

    You must be fun at parties.

    Lol I've been using cs5 until yesterday. V24 now

    [–] x4740N@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

    Gimp is behind on features and ui optimisation and krita is art focused

    Voice of reason

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

    I never understood that argument. Do or do not.
