It's a protest now.

Brandon Thomas, developer of ArtCraft, a suite of open-source creative tools meant to replicate Adobe applications for free, has now announced apps to replace Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, respectively, named GridCraft, DeckCraft, and WordCraft, that are created with Claude. Thomas has shared his new clones to ArtCraft GitHub, making them free for all to download.

    Pirating Adobe and MS products is a practice of Nerds which thought they were hackers, since the existence of alternatives which make useless the piracy of this products.

      I don’t know where you got that idea. The vast majority of people I knew who passed around a copy of Adobe stuff or MS Office, along with a working key or keygen program back in the day, were most definitely not nerds who believed they were hackers.

      I still use my copy of photoshop from time to time.

      Photopea has been my go to alternative for opening actual psd docs for a while.

      Paint.net was my go to for quick stuff back in windows. I’ve been learning Kirta on linux now.

      But for certain work, the 10 year old copy of photoshop is still better at certain things. Specifically for editing actual photos (go figure).
