Data is already plural, so the form datas does not exist. It even has the rarely used singular datum as it is just Latin for "given", but using data instead is generally also regarded correct.

Datas is more fun to read.

I agree, although some very unsympathetic part of me internally screams every time I read that.

If pirating a product that is for sale is "theft"

Is pirating a product that is for rental (like adobe).... Squatting?

(Joke obvs)

I wonder if that means we can claim adverse possession

Even when you pirate their stuff you are giving them things; market share, data, seo pumps, bug reports, data.

You could try putting firewall rules and block it from ever connecting to the internet.

You're still giving them market share and training yourself in their software. When you need to search up online how to do a gradient, you give views to tutorials for their products.

Always found gimp far easier than Photoshop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

photogimp exists and is fantastic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…
