Adobe Creative Cloud, which despite the name is pretty much local. And although Microsoft Office works online, it has a series of issues that the desktop version doesn't have, like broken formatting on Word.
The thing that irks me the most is that those things work. They'll see a little complain from the most vocal ones, and that's it. The revenue will increase, their shareholders will be pleased, the OS will be worse, and we'll have no viable alternative.
Unless governments start to regulate the hell out of tech companies, it's only downhill from there.
Edit: about Linux, it's not viable if you're outside IT or rely on commercial software. That's a debate for another post.
Oh Jesus Christ this shit is getting more abstract by the minute, and the scary part is that I'm getting it. how long until people start laughing at a TV noise screenshot?
It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don't have commercial software available on Linux so people won't use it, so you don't have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won't be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.
You know what's funny? I dream of a form factor like the Nintendo Switch: fully plastic, even the screen, so I could put a high quality glass screen protector like the one I have on the console. The thing is a tank, surviving many falls without a single damage, and I had to swap the protector once in all these years I have it.
I dont know, I'm pretty happy with my S22 running OneUI 6.1 and it feels really fast. Also, the native apps like Health, Notes, Mail and Calendar are really good, and I don't use Browser because it doesn't have a desktop app to share bookmarks like Firefox.
Yeah, say that to professionals whose workflow rely on the thight integration and features of Adobe's software. I'm sure migration to a piece of crap software with a S&M name that can't even do CMYK will work great.
Affinity is a good alternative still, at least until Canvas implement the subscription model (which I still believe they will do).
Thats not fair, since everyone says the main app suck and you'll have a better experience with Moshidon. This is true if you're already there, but the comment makes it clear that it still lacks for newbies.
People talking about pixelfed are missing a key point: Cara is super easy to find and join. You go, type your email or login with your google account and that's it. You don't even have to remember a password. Nobody wants to find a server, apply to join, hope to get accepted, then somehow find all other artists like you.
Also, it looks good. Like, really good. That's a thing that grab the attention of artists.
Wait, so if my girlfriend says I'm hot that doesn't mean what I originally thought?
