@pernia @coolboymew @fluffy As an ancap, I think there are too many anti-competition laws like copyright and patents which have no place in a true capitalist society. Microsoft is notorious for using patents (which requires a state) to stunt competition. I don't know that much about Adobe, but I remember hearing that the Flash format was patented for a while.
@pernia @coolboymew @fluffy These companies literally work with big governments in their mass surveillance and censorship programs. They will never fuck them over unless one of these governments goes through a reformation.
@pernia @coolboymew @fluffy All the major tech companies are moving to that model. It should be no big surprise that Adobe is doing it as well.
@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage GIMP is compatible with Photoshop plugins and PSD files. The only think that's holding it back is the user interface.
@coolboymew What Adobe product are you using? There is almost no reason to use any of them these days.
@adrint @judgedread @brother @coolboymew /leftypol/ was an 8chan board. It was never on 4chan.
@icedquinn @matrix I heard that they have terrible side effects such as affecting your speech and destroying your productivity.
@coolboymew They also leave out that the fictional politics in games are often left to interpretation by the player or sometimes left as in-game choices.
@coolboymew I use MonoGame which isn't really an engine, but more of a multimedia software framework for C#. If I did 3D stuff, I would probably use an engine or mod an existing game, but since I'm only working with 2D, it isn't that much of a problem.
