Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

[awsomelink]

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

Billionaire Mark Cuban Opens Online Pharmacy To Provide Affordable Generic Drugs

The company was launched out of stealth last year.

The fact that Mark Cuban can do this is just further proof of how much capatalism is f*cking people over.

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban launched an online pharmacy Thursday that offers more than 100 generic drugs at an affordable price with a goal of being “radically transparent” in its price negotiations with drug companies. 

For example, the leukemia drug imatinib is priced at $47 a month on MCCPDC compared to the $9,657 retail price.

The online pharmacy’s prices for generics factor in a 15% margin on top of actual manufacturer prices and a $3 pharmacist fee, the statement said.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS INFO

yes this is pretty unbelievable right now—but just look at the replies and reblogs of this post—look at all these people on twitter talking about their own experiences with it now too—this is actually real

and yes everyone is waiting for a catch, but remember it is a PRIVILEGE to think about not sharing this information out of spite for billionaires rather than needing this opportunity regardless of how long it lasts or if mark cuban is doing this for his own gain

so please share. thanks

I feel like a lot of Duolingo discourse should acknowledge that the reason that they have basically every national European language on there is not because of a “European bias” but because of refugees. A huge number of refugees in Europe use it to learn the language of whatever country they’re moving to or living in; the site even talks about it in the “fun facts” on their waiting screen. Languages like Swedish and Norwegian aren’t there primarily for Minnesotans getting in touch with their heritage, but for African and Asian refugees in Sweden and Norway, and indeed they make up the majority of people using Duolingo to learn those languages. The site does need to add more non-European languages; it’s gradually doing this, it recently added Zulu, Xhosa and Kreyòl, and its focus on indigenous languages like Navajo and Hawaiian is especially commendable, but there are still some glaring omissions of major world languages from Asia and Africa that need to be addressed — and even “they’re edited by users” doesn’t cut it with how many people worldwide speak those whom they could seek out! But the fact that a free language app is doing its best to provide the language learning services that those actual countries routinely deny desperately-poor refugees is a good thing actually. Reserve your rage for the inclusion of Esperanto, Klingon and High Valyrian over Tagalog and Farsi.

[kurganfilledwithbearbones]

There’s a big campaign locally to get Icelandic on Duolingo because there are no competent resources accessible to immigrants. Something like 15% of the country can’t speak the local language, a number that probably goes up to 20% or more during the tourism season. This is a huge problem in society made worse by the head of the largest low wage union saying she thinks that only the bourgeois would want access to language classes during work hours. Duolingo Icelandic could help solve one of the most pressing issues for one of the richest countries in the world - which, yes, is a completely pathetic state of affairs but guess what, not enough people vote with a mind to immigrant affairs and the political will to solve this problem simply doesn’t exist. Finland and i believe some of the other Nordics at least have fully subsidized immersion programs up to B2-C1, Iceland doesn’t. So if Icelandic shows up on Duolingo next, please consider that there’s been a large influx of especially Ukrainian and Palestinian refugees in the past year and the Icelandic government isn’t exactly going out of their way to help them integrate.

To Learn Klingon Or Esperanto: What Invented Languages Can Teach Us

[roach-works]

yeah and like people were so mad that klingon and elvish were on duolinguo before yiddish was…. but those small, compact, simple conlanguages don’t have dialects. or a real-world history of genocide-driven diasporas. yiddish is the language of people without a country. which population’s vocabulary is the most authentic? new york, israel, warsaw, berlin? getting yiddish on to duolinguo took a lot of very careful, very political, work and thought.

the klingon dictionary is already thoroughly digitized and contains roughly 1,800 words.

like, just say your activism is getting performatively mad at things you don’t understand and go.

Help i wasnt expevting to see the bottom left and i got the worst whiplash ever

[morguenecrosis]

I need advise on how to pack all my shit in prep to move I have nowhere to move yet though but I wanna get started packing bc there definitely is plans for a place in the soon future

Preferably advice from someone who had a load of stuff and had to move it all while also have ADHD and or autism bc the executive dysfunction is real and the weight of having to move 19 years worth of junk is weighing on me

[funkystuffs05-og]

Ok you gotta learn to roll shirts into compact popcan sized babies instead of folding them, it helps with space a little bit and can help fit a little more into boxes, bags, etc. thats the only thing that comes to mind right now sorry i cant help with more

[morguenecrosis]

Yeah I was thinking of throwing all my cloths and sheets and stuffed animals and such into bags instead of boxes but put my more fancy shit folded nice in boxes... I am a lot of cloths so being able to compact it as much as possible is helpful

Keep this post alive so that when CARLOS is old enough he’ll know these KIDNAPPERS stole him from his MOTHER!

[dopeluminarydreamer-blog]

Guatemalan mom: “Please help me my son was taken from me”

Those two assholes: “Lol finders keepers bitch lmao”

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Carlos was taken from his mom, Encarnacion Bail Romero after she was arrested during a work raid. Her words, “Nobody could help me because I don’t speak English,” are still resonating deeply within me. This child was kidnapped from a loving mother, and she went to hell and backwards trying to get him back, and a judge literally told her she had no rights to her own child.

https://twitter.com/evanchill/status/1010399759088193536

Completely unfit parents can get their children back like it’s nothing and this poor woman who loves her child and just wants him with her again cannot? How is this not human trafficking/kidnapping? 

Also:

The judge said the biological mother had no rights to even see her child, according to the mother’s lawyer.

Asked if the Mosers would allow Bail Romero to see the child, the Mosers’ attorney, Joseph Hensley, said the couple was “not willing to comment on that at this time.” source

[rock-fish-deactivated20201231]

reminder that many children are funneled specifically to Christian families and communities for the same reasons they always have: destroy culture, stack votes, add bodies to communities that otherwise wouldn’t hold majorities. it is literal, actual trafficking.

[trashmouse]

This is a part of genocide.  Removing the children from their parents, who generally desperately love and want to raise them, and placing them with white American families is a way to erase their culture from existence without the ugliness of directly killing children.  But it’s still ugly, and it cares nothing for the actual welfare of the child.

[morguenecrosis]

I love the interpretation that i am an earring on my free time, and you did great with the watercolours if you ever need tips on watercolours tho it was my main art medium for an entire year so i can definitely help you. Tysm for the birthday art i appreciate it, and remember I will always be here for you... in your ear... ily/p

[funkystuffs05-og]

Thank you! I defiantly need help with flesh tones and properly defining highlights lol. The idea came from when I realized that “in your ear” was a vague statement on its own and that you could be hanging from the holes from gauges and still technically be living in my ear ilyt/p

[morguenecrosis]

It's a great idea and now i lowkey wish i had merch so i could make gauges that looked like that and also maybe a pair of ear buds too hmm... maybe

but as for watercolours...

keeping highlight is hard but you can use masking fluid or just go back in with a white acrylic or white pen afterwards (that's what i used to do) and then if you don't want the highlights to be white you can go over it with a wash of colour after your done painting everything else, now for flesh tones use blues to push things back/ make shadow and reds to bring things forwards and a bit of yellow for more of a highlight ofc layer this over a wash of whatever skin tone you mixed any complementary colour can mix together to make a brown and you just gotta learn how to adjust for different skin tones (it's a lot of trial and error for me i don't have a set mix of colours i use but i don't use a colour straight from the tube I always try to mix something)

[mcsh-mmv]

Oh thank you I honestly didn’t consider using colours underneath the initial skin tone I thought I just added shadows and mid tones on top of my highlight tone, would the process you described still work with grey tones?

[morguenecrosis]

Probably I typically work with a lot of colours tho

[funkystuffs05-og]

try to use a lot of grey tones so the colour pops and it gives the more vibrant things have more significance on the page if that makes sense

[morguenecrosis]

yee i understand... but also too much neon burn retina hehe

[funkystuffs05-og]

Well by vibrant I mean relative to the colours I mix with grey tones lol also There is no such thing as too much neon
