  • The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

  • While their boot is on your throat, it is difficult to mourn what your oppressor used to be.

  • They are better than they were. But they are still at least 10 years from being able to match Adobe software - partially because we need to wait for Adobe patents to run out, so that other software can replicate an intuitive software experience.

  • I'm a creative. I've used InDesign since version 1.0. I've built my career with Adobe tools.

    Adobe Creative Cloud peaked around ten years ago. Since then, it's totally jumped the shark. I'm not even talking about the company, just the software and its features.

    When I open InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator I'm trying to work. It's software I've used for, in some cases, 25 years. My point is, I know it inside and out.

    The past few years, every new "feature" gets in the way of my work. Adobe has been changing things that already worked very well, or has added extra steps to do something that used to be easy.

    Even worse, Adobe has started to fill its software with notifications that can not be disabled. Invasive blue dots. Invasive blue buttons. Invasive blue overlays that stay visible on the screen even when the software is minimized. Rich tool tips that aren't disabled by the option to disable rich tool tips.

    Adobe has lost me as a devotee. It's been taken over by venture capital. The company only cares about adoption of new features.

    Now, I use it out habit. Because my workplace provides it. Because it's what folks on my team are used to... but because they've come to the ecosystem so late, they only know a fraction of its capabilities.

    If Adobe faces demise, I will mourn what if once was. But not what it has become.

  • Just because language is stupid and human-made, and just because you're correct, that doesn't make the comic author correct 🤣

  • It's amazing how many people not only screw it up, but insist you're wrong when you try to correct them.

    It's because the stems are so much better.

    What's the deal with M.2/mPCIE/mSATA and how fast are they?

  • The easiest way to be sure might be to check it yourself.

    If Linux is already installed on these machines, run Hardinfo2. It will tell you specifically how many lanes each slot has. It should also report back on lots of hardware capabilities.

    If drives are installed, you can benchmark them yourself.
