Today's learned lesson:
If you find a good software with a perpetual license for a good price, buy it before some big company buys it to make it free at first and monthly subscription based then.
I should have bought Affinity V2 this summer as I was about to do :')

Said so... I wonder how long will it take to see affinity go from "free + optional data collect not for AI" to "monthly sub + invasive AI-training data collect".
I hope it never happens... Affinity was my last resort to avoid Adobe products without giving up professionality...

Still skeptical about all this, and can’t get @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification thesis out of my mind. Starts off great and everyone flocks over to the new Affinity, yes…but then eventually…
The press release is actually readable that fast company link just opens 20 pop-ups www.canva.com/newsroom/new...

Missed @lianafinck.bsky.social's livestream a couple weeks ago, but I got all caught up. This weekend, I made my first “stranded on a desert” island gag #cartoon. This one is maybe too "meta."
