And then you get bankrupted by the excorbitant creative cloud license costs.
Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate! 🎶🎵🎶
I remember the first time I ever saw that video was when I tried playing Enter the Gungeon. I didn’t even pirate it. I just screwed up when I was installing some mods lol
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (Does not work for lemmy.world users)
Also: Doesn’t GIMP also do the same thing?
Yes
Exact same.
And this is why I switched away from .world
lemmy.world has a mental health community that used to not allow posts mentioning suicide. Yes, a mental health community. Like wtf man. They only changed the rules because I made a meme criticizing that rule.
Yup. Adobe may not be the ones causing the housing crisis, but all this nickel and diming from other sources is part of the problem too.
Hey Adobe, if you want people to stop pirating your shit go back to a pay-once model or lower your subscription costs. Then maybe use some of that money you’ve got to help us out over here so we can afford to pay you.
They wanted to DNA test my dog and keep his biometric data on file as part of the terms of the last lease I was looking at.
I uhh, didn’t fucking sign. The neofeudalist movement is for real.
This so they can fine you when you leave your dog’s shit on the ground for other people to step in. I’m here for it. I lived in a place that did not enforce picking up after your animals and it was absolutely disgusting.
They won’t send don’t do that at all anyway, but hey at least the professional landlord class gets to inflict upon you one more indignity for some imagined benefit.
The park adjacent to those buildings has so much dog turd in it you’d think they were purposely producing low quality fertilizer over there.

Hate to break it to you dude
"We are the DNA dog waste management company offering a solution to pet pollution in 7,000+ communities across the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. It isn’t just a problem in your community—it’s everywhere. "
And here I thought it was pretty common to have your children and pets DNA tested by your apartment manager. Hasn’t this always been the case?
Yeah, they do that these days to identify who lets their dogs poop around the property and don’t pick it up.
Or…They threaten to do this and just keep your $600
It’s really the threat that motivates people, and it’s the free $600 non-refundable deposit that motivates the landlords.
Mandatory “use GIMP: is free and open source” comment
The only problem with GIMP is that is comes with every sensible keyboard shortcut mapped to some random function you use once in a lifetime.
Can you give an example? The defaults seem perfectly sensible to me.
The other problem is that if it’s on your resume, I’m not hiring you.
Yeah it really sounds like i wouldn’t want to work for you.
BRB, putting GIMP my resume.
I use GIMP but it’s annoying how the keyboard shortcuts are totally different and I’m used to photoshop
You don’t even need photoshop. Just use the inspect function in your browser and edit the values directly in the HTML. Free and much easier to not fuck up the formatting.
Works if your statements are in a web format. But most of this stuff is a PDF you download.
You wanna live alone? Get gimp.
But if I had a gimp, I wouldn’t be alone. 🤔
Nonono, you have to get adobe. You want a home, you have to build it yourself! With your bare hands!
Or Abode.
Nah, no need for Adobe. Just use https://photopea.com
For whatever reason the nested comments aren’t loading but I’d think twice about uploading my bank statements or anything personal to an online photo editor.
GIMP is a good free offline alternative

People downvoted you because your sarcasm is too subtle

Photoshop is an Adobe product. They never said anything about Acrobat.
correction, and steal Adobe.
They don’t check your credit? They checked my credit the last time I rented.
Also you don’t need to photoshop when it’s easier to edit the html.
You can have good credit and a low salary.
Landlords also ask for pay stubs / proof of income.
Yes, but also you don’t get good credit by entering into contracts you can’t afford. What I can and can’t afford are my decision to make.
Just like you can have good credit and low income, you can have high income and be shit with money. It really doesn’t prove anything by showing a pay stub.
Credit doesn’t show income. It is just a score with income not factored in.
Experian offers a service called “theworknumber” that will sell you income data to anyone for $60.
You cant opt out because fuck american laws, but you can demand they “freeze” it like credit, so any inquiry is just rejected.
That may solve who’s texting me if I’d like to sell a property. They keep asking me about properties i haven’t owned for years but I use to live at.
At least you get texted about properties you once owned. I get texted about some dude’s properties across the country even though this hasn’t been his number for a good decade now
Haha it’s just weird to get a txt asking if I want to sell x property I haven’t owned for twenty years.
It has to be a credit report thing as my gf gets txt about the properties and she has never been on the loans or titles. The properties are always in my name.
Get pirated adobe or use gimp
Updoot for FOSS (and high seas)
Yeah I’m pretty based
Ok I woke up the gimp, now what?
I “forged” documents with gimp once — needed to print out and sign something for a wire transfer when I was abroad. I pasted in my signature and sent it back, but they said it needed to be print out, scanned, and sent back. So I opened it in gimp, added noise and rotated it by a degree or so to look like it was scanned — and they accepted it, no questions asked. So…I forged my own documents.
Banking in the US is sometimes a bit humorous. (Meanwhile, in the country I was staying, at the end of the night someone picked up the tab, wrote down their bank account number, and said “transfer me $XYZ thanks” — was pretty great.)
krita
Renting is fucked. Some people probably know about this site but just fyi https://ratethelandlord.org/
Lol that place is something else
“Written Review WORST FUCKER AND PROPERTY MANAGER IN NW CALGARY. SHE IS A WHORE AND ASSHOLE LADY WHO FUCKS TANANT’S SOUL”
… 4 stars.
Nah that’s just your average landlord
It’s land ownership laws that’re fucked. Here’s the original game of Monopoly before it was stolen by a capitalist- The Landlord Game, a teaching aid for workers to understand why land owners are the problem. It’s a pretty old problem.

Meanwhile Adobe: “Hello, I like money!”
Step 1: File articles of incorporation for an LLC. Step 2: Open bank account for your new business. Step 3: Write checks to yourself from said business. Step 4: Tell future landlord that you’re “self employed.” Step 5: File dissolution of LLC -or- make sure to pay any annual franchise taxes, depending on your state, if you decide to keep it active.
oh yeah landlords love to rent to self employed people.
fraud is pretty rad 😎
The uber rich are frauding our entire nation so it evens out
Gimp or photopea will do the trick also
Or Krita.
