JRepin , to technology in Figma is now free for all US K-12 school students
@JRepin@lemmy.ml avatar

Straight from the old Big Tabacco playbook of traps. Give away free stuff to get you addicted while in school and then when you are out they start profiting on your bad habbit you are hard to get rid off. Better to use software that is free for ever and even better if it is also free as in freedom and opensource.

And when everyone uses or is forced to use the product, they can actively start enshitifying it and squeeze every penny of their users...

If I could recommend them anything it’d be to skip Figma and use penpot instead. Same features and everything, but open-source and no lock-in ecosystem.

Having used both, Penpot still had a feature gap. For example, prototyping in Figma is much farther along. Penpot is still stuck in Invision land.

No Google service can last. I’ve come to the point where I no longer trust any new product they put out.

Yeah, I need to switch to another authenticator app because I’m not sure I even trust that at this point.

Edit: love this community, say I’m looking to switch and I get a plethora of suggestions within the hour lol

In related news, Elon Musk has been adamant about ending remote work, but that’s likely to be difficult without, you know, office space.

He also wants people to be hardcore so I guess they will just work on laptops from the parking lot. So hardcore!
