It seems Adobe is modifying hosts files without permission now. If you're using their programs or pirating, maybe give your hosts a look for new lines.
You've had 30 years to send pull requests to the GIMP.
Hosts file are a half-measure.https://github.com/tnodir/fortPut the entirety of Adobe EXE's behind a firewall.

Affinity is legally free-of-charge.
>>108510424>WAMCompletely dedotated.
>>108510442I don’t work for free.
>>108510500>canva account required
>>108510442You could rewrite their entire UI to be 100x better visually and functionally, and it'll be rejected for some autistic reason.
>>108510424what the fuck are you people doing? why is adobe even able edit that file? do you run everything as admin?
>>108511170Yeah that's the problem right there, any writes to that file should be asking for admin access but they aren't. So they're likely using the system account.Adobe software is effectively malware.
>>108510442>>108510698I've been using GIMP my whole life without issue. I've never even used Photoshop before, so what am I actually missing out on?
>>108510424I have been thinking about this lately nearly everyone I know uploads binaries they download to virustotal to check if its same or not what happens if they just have a script to fetch the "exploit" later on? It doesn't even have to be much just read all your private shit and upload it elsewhere. Linux users are fucked they don't get a immediate response and these days with fiber you don't even notice uploads in the 100s gb .
>>108511301>so what am I actually missing out on?You're still somehow missing enough talent to hit the low skill ceiling required to understand just how badly GIMP is gimp'd in comparison to real tools.I know they finally fixed it after decades so this only applies to people who have used GIMP for a long time, but going so long without the ability to shift click layers means that you're a knuckle dragging retard.
>>108510424>right click>properties>tick read only>apply>okez
>>108511870You already need admin rights to modify anything in System32, removing the read only attribute isn't a problem for whatever they're doing.
Whatever. I'll block them at the router level.
>>108511795+1 insightful
>>108511795That will be $99 dollars per month + tip. Don't think about leaving early or that's another $500. Also we need to install Denuvo, Trusteer rappot and Adobe Genuine Services to make sure that your subscription is legit.
>>108511227The adobe installer would already be run with admin, genius. They'd do the mod to the hosts file there.
>>108512306all your schizo rambling would have been moot the moment you tried affinity before it was acquired by canva, I can't imagine how zogged the current offering can be, just glad I got versions 1 and 2 as they appeared
I have the full suite of pirated adobe products and nothing in my host files
>>108511301stuff that takes a gimp user like 5min and some googling takes them like one click with smoothing and antialiasing
>>108510463how is this compared to simplewall
>>108512468i have lines in my hosts files that block my pirated adobe products from phoning home
>>108510442Or just use Krita.
