“Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content. Firefly generative AI models are trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired.”

This references a single particular product. lol. If they’re training a model by a different name with customer data, it would still be a true statement.

The points about lawyers and NDA’s hit the nail on the head. I thought something similar with the Windows Recall debacle. That’s a juicy set of data for anyone looking to find journalist sources or scrape a hospital’s network. In every case it relies on the end user (business or individual) to know how to disable those features with GPOs/registry options… There’s no way 100% of them realize the issue and have the knowledge to fix it.

They just wanna review your work 😀. What if you’re trying to put a penis on Trump’s face and it’s too big or it’s pointing the wrong way or something? You know. Wouldn’t you want to be told stuff like " the police is coming unless you erase this now!" You know, things like that? It would definitely come in handy to catch kids doing nudes of others. Or adults doing nudes of other adults who didn’t know. I wouldn’t want to end up in a collage of nudes that is 20MBb 1080p or 4K.

But “big brother” would mean they watch you.

I read everywhere that they claim the rights to your projects, which is far worse than just watching over your shoulder innit?

Eiim ,

Where did you read that? I can bet it wasn’t the TOS, because that’s not in there. The TOS allows Adobe to review anything you create with its products using manual or automated means, and maybe restricted to normal screening for CSAM and such (although it’s really ambiguous about what they’ll actually do with it).

Bullshit

I have a sub. I download their app. And the they have the gall to install anti piracy software?

asteriskeverything ,

But did they super duper pinky promise, cross their heart, hope to die, poke a needle in their eye??

Dear Adobe:

I. Don’t. Believe. You.

regards,

Me. And probably your entire end-user base.

Interesting, we get to either hate them for going full big brother, or hate them for going full adobe in the first place. It’s nice to have a choice sometimes.

fluckx ,

Here’s a License change which implies we’re datafarming all your assets.

Here’s my word that we’re absolutely not goijf to be doing that. Trust me bro.

restingboredface ,

Guys, seriously. The entire Affinity Suite is $150. Paid for updates through the current version. It’s solid.

Dump Adobe.

joojmachine ,

even better, use the money you’d pay for adobe suite and donate to open source alternatives

makyo ,

I’m going to give Krita a try for some of the photobashing sort of stuff I do

joojmachine ,

I can totally recommend it, during the time I worked with design it was the closest I could get to photoshop when it comes to features and workflow, even more than GIMP, it’s awesome!

probableprotogen ,

Honestly Krita is reallly awesome and I would also reccomend

PsychedSy ,

Only thing I miss is smart fill so far.

Inpainting I guess =D

Looks like it’ll run on Linux with Bottles:

forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/166159-…

PopOfAfrica ,

Thats outdated. Only version 1 ran on bottles, and quite poorly. V2 is busted

makyo ,

I’m on their site now and the full suite is on sale - €90, not sure if that’s the same for everyone’s local schnorples.

restingboredface ,

Nice! I got it right after the latest version came out but that’s been a while. They do sales pretty regularly though. It’s definitely not as massive as Adobe wrt features, but they cover the essentials well.

zbb ,

Please reconsider.

Since Affinity have been recently acquired by Canva, many of its users doubt that perpetual license will be respected.

Just look at the comments of its announcement.

PopOfAfrica ,

Would love to, but they are neglecting Linux Support.

@tsonfeir@lemmy.world avatar

I hear you, but so is adobe. Linux isn’t in this conversation.

jol ,

What do you mean? This is Lemmy. Linux is always in the conversation.

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemmy.world avatar

The conversation should be the lack of competition in the image manipulation space and on Linux.

Most of my software boxes have been ticked, but that’s a major deterrent for a daily driver.

Blisterexe ,

It does work great throigj wine apparently

lazycouchpotato ,
@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

It’s 50% off right now.

zbb ,

Being recently acquired by Canva stops me from trusting that deal in the long run.

tyler ,

Doesn’t replace Lightroom Classic sadly. Affinity is good, but literally nothing compares (no darktable isn’t anywhere as good)

fluckx ,

When i see stuff like that I want to buy it. And then I remember I’m not a graphic designer. And unfortunately I’m terrible at any type of layouting or drawing. Be it webdesign or otherwise.

It looks like a great tool though. And very fairly priced.

OhmsLawn ,

claims that the company often uses machine learning to review user projects for signs of illegal content

OK, so what happens when Florida starts deciding more content is illegal?

Literally big brother shit.

EldritchFeminity ,

This is what Tumblr did too after they banned porn. It couldn’t tell the difference between the Sahara Desert and boobs.

Relevant Wikipedia?

HonorableScythe ,

Exactly my thoughts. Adobe is not the police and they should not be the ones trying to deter crime by any definition. How many horrible things have governments done to “protect the children”?

Riiiight. And, pray tell Adobe, why in the everloving fuck woul you ever need to “review” private content that’s not posted anywhere? Stop acting like you’re the goddamned pre-crime agency from Minority Report and keep your dirty paws off stuff people are creating privately.

You are providing tools, and that’s it. I can do horrible, illegal shit with my drill, but it doesn’t give Black&Decker any right to break into my house to do random checks and see if I’m drilling through kneecaps instead of wooden planks…

SpicyLizards ,

Well, let’s have the adobe track record speak for itself…

WallEx ,

Okay, I promise the did go big brother.

So what now, my word against theirs?

palordrolap ,

Big Brother? No. Not yet anyway.

Abusive in other ways? Let Uncle Louis tell you all about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXxMCm941WA
