  • They’re also the company who mainstreamed the software subscription model.

    It used to be that only services required subscriptions. Applications would be a one time payment. But, Adobe converted to the subscription model and because they hold a monopoly over the design space, people/companies had no choice but to go along. Once they were successful, every business in the world decided that they also wanted that sweet monthly payment and now software licensing sucks.

    I refuse to even pirate Adobe products on principle.

    TL;DR Fuck Adobe, use open source.






  • Communism =/= leftism. It’s an extreme form of socialism.

    My biggest problem isn’t even the communist ideals. Have your ideas, that’s fine. I don’t care.

    My problem is the amount of people coming into post comments attacking American Imperialism® on posts that aren’t even related to communist ideals or, sometimes, that don’t even mention America. It gets tiring reading how much America sucks when that’s not even the point of the post.







  • Hell, I’m using the free tier. Zoho has the most relaxed offerings for free tier of any email provider I’ve looked into.

    Their Admin UI sucks though. It’s almost impossible to find anything, and once you do find a link to what you need you’re forwarded to some other new tool they’ve created in the last year. Giant pain in the ass.







  • It’s an internal message to employees of Reddit. As someone who’s been in the corporate world for a long time, I’ve seen some variation of this message many times. Economic downturn, bad press, low sales, losing expected incoming cash… there are a lot of catalysts for this style of message.

    Most messages we’re seeing are from users, who want Reddit to crash and burn or just do what the masses want, or whatever. But, on the other side is a bunch of people who may be worried about how this whole thing will affect their livelihood. Even if Reddit stays up another 20 years and not everyone loses their job, what scale will it be? Will Reddit fire some amount of their workforce to make up for lost income? Will I be someone who gets fired?

    These are the thoughts that this message is intended to address.
