It seems the only thing Bluesky hates more than Donald Trump is AI — and Adobe had to find that out the hard way.

            It’s in French, but here’s a link:
            https://www.watson.ch/fr/!884988581

            Basically, Yen did an interview for Watson (a magazine) where he talked about the swedish government encroaching on encryption. He got political when he started talking about how all of the Swedish government officials were useless bureaucrats, and praised the US government’s methods instead.

              Where does that article say anything like that? I could find neither a mention of Sweden nor of the US.

              You’re gonna need a bettet source than that, because this article and your comment say very different things. Why do people upvote comments like this one?

                Because reading articles is hard, better to blindly trust a headline and summary comment. People on Lemmy wouldn’t lie to me, would they?

                  they would surely fear the shame their names would get if it turned out they were lying, don’t you think?

                The Switzerland part:

                There are three problems to be insulated. First of all, by extending the scope to a larger number of companies than was previously regulated for a few telecommunications giants, a massive expansion of Switzerland’s surveillance state is in fact being carried out.

                There have been cases where we have seen demands against climate activists in France, we have seen situations where Catalan independence leaders have been unfairly targeted. I have many other examples that are not yet public about inappropriate targeting by the SCPT Service, which does not make any verification.

                Switzerland is not a favourable land for tech start-ups? The Swiss start-up ecosystem is now more competitive than Germany, more competitive than the EU, more competitive than the US itself. But with this consultation, we are making it much less attractive by imposing massive obligations and burdens on small businesses that do not have the resources to do so.

                I couldn’t find the US is awesome part though.

                  mic_check_one_two did not mention anything related to Switzerland. They’ve mentioned Sweden.

            It’s weird. It’s like there’s some kind of paid advertising campaign using bots who are never seen outside of shilling their company for some reason.

      I have to open PDFs all day long at work to read our schematics. No I don’t want an “AI assistant” or an “AI summary” on drawings of electrical wiring. And I need to close multiple menus to get rid of them, and the only option is “disable for this session”, no way to permanently turn them off

      I remember reading a story a while back about someone who owned a legit CS version with a proper serial and activation.

      They had to change computer, and in doing so had to reactivate Photoshop, but it wasn’t working. They contacted Adobe support and explained the situation but support basically told him nope, not a chance, we aren’t helping you. You need to subscribe to new Photoshop.

      So Adobe accepted that yes, he bought a perpetual licence for Photoshop and that yes, the reason it isn’t working is the online activation, but they still refused to help.

      Scumbags.

    I know Adobe is a dick of a company but all this event shows is how toxic Bluesky is. Seems the toxicity joined them from X.

      I don’t necessarily agree that this means blue sky is toxic (and I’m speaking as someone who doesn’t use the app), I see it as a toxic company finding out what people think of them.

      As you noted adobe is a dick (and that’s one hell of an understatement), and they regularly make anti-consumer choices with their software and pricing. This is just them seeing what you’ve been ignoring for a decade or more.

      Maybe the multi billion dollar company should grow subscribe to my monthly subscription to thicker skin.

        I reckon it would have been far sweeter if they were completely ignored IMHO. 1000% more brutal. Toxic people tend to need to put it out there.

      No shit. It’s like people who join Lemmy and then complain when it’s too much like reddit. The design of the platform determines what kind of community you get. People on Bluesky are going to bully corpos because that’s what they did on Twitter, and both of those platforms make it really, really easy.
