Adobe Cuts Perpetual License for Elements from Lifetime down to just three years
Adobe Cuts Perpetual License for Elements from Lifetime down to just three years
So long, lifetime license.
Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.

At this point, I treat Adobe like malware on my personal systems.
Enshittification seems to be accelerating.

Pretty fun dumb thing to play with. Use it to entertain friends and impress
Ludditestech-illiterate boomers like my Dad.Occasionally someone is able to manually finesse it into making it do something actually cool.
Edit : To be clear, I support artists and do NOT support the replacement of genuine and meaningful art created by individual minds.
At the same time, I also would pay to watch a live real human choir + orchestra performance of that “Newton’s Genius” song if someone put that LLM song to sheet music.
luddites weren't anti technology, they were pro workers rights. they would find gpt style ai offensive.

The article you linked is much more detailed than the one I read, so this interaction has benefited both of us.
Gotta love mutual aid! 🫡 thanks for providing me the incentive to learn more as well.
I dunno, luddites like me aren't impressed at it. We're rolling our eyes at it.
No worries. It’s not for everyone.
I’m hoping the dumb songs that I have that company fart out for free as jokes supporting Lemmy comments, or as backing tracks for clips of my friends and I playing Fortnite that I share just amongst our group of 10 people won’t somehow upend and displace the countless artists whose works I’ve supported over the decades via concert ticket purchases, royalties via movie soundtrack licensing, and buying official merchandise.
Yup, I don't have any Adobe software on any of my systems, and I intend to keep it that way.
