Adobe In Fear of Finger Pointing! --- Avoiding the Censorship (photoshop-free linux)
[WITH RAISED HAND]
This is my favorite line of the post:
"[Edit: a portion of this post was removed. Please do not personally attack anyone, including Adobe employees.]"
Apparently, "Not Adobe" (sarcasm) is so paranoid that they need to censor out things that might make them look bad, not that they need any help on that front. The appalling thing is, why not support a platform that clearly has tens of thousands of users that would purchase their software? Unless of course, someone is giving that "special somebody" (sarcasm again) a fat chunk of change to deliberately NOT support a platform in fear that it might further cause harm to that "special someone's" platform. And when I say special someone, I do NOT mean Microsoft or Apple (wink wink!).
At this point in time, its pretty easy to make cross platform software, what with Qt and cross-platform compilers. I'm sure that they have at least one or two lead programmers that could whip up a port in a matter of months and even get it releasable by the end of 2016/early 2017... but why shut the door and say "never"?? Remember when someone said we (users) would "never" need more than 640k of RAM, how did that go? of course, if someone paid them to keep the limit at 640 i'm sure things would have panned out differently, see what I'm getting at?
I am of course talking about fictional characters here, had these been real companies and people I would not be able to say such things directly.
If I end up getting censored, I guess I'll just have to make sure I mirror the post somewhere else
