Ummmm, no
Corel doesn’t seem be nosey like Adobe.
(And you're paying to play.)
CWR invented “moderate” to jerk casual readers.
Software-as-a-service is something I’ve never stopped hating - especially in its latest iteration as AI-as-a-service. When you don’t own the software you’re using and can’t check the source code, you’re at the mercy of the developer.
The new version is just more bloatware to me. What used to be a click or two is now getting frustrated trying puzzle out their new “re-imagining”.
Just as hardware became more cross-compatible, software is becoming too disparate. Simple things, like “print”, are now buried under layers of menus.
Fart in church/elevator.
Adobe has been evil personified for a long, long time. The only good thing Adobe ever did was publish the PDF document format. Of course, they tried to restrict how you could produce them for a long time. I print PDF copies of most of my bills. Love it.
Our communist masters have absolutely no limits to the tyrannical elimination of the last few vestiges of formerly Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms & liberty that the American serfs enjoy...
The hubris of these communist tyrants is matched only by the indolence and meekness of the current, well-indoctrinated American serfs...
There is no end in sight...
The tenacity of our tyrannical communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to recover our former Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
Why would the ChiComs & NorKs do this?
And that’s why I am not going past Acrobat Pro 2017.
My guess is that this is not so much about traditional personal image or document creation, but AI. Since Adobe is now including AI features that are run remotely on their servers they want to control and censor the content created on those servers. Especially AI content being generated for partisan political purposes.
