I really wish Ireland would stop hosting Zuckerberg's scammy ad company and all the other useless parasite corporations that hole up there.

Personally I don't need adobe or slop adobe. After many attempts and some effort I found that the non-AI open source alternatives were good enough, or in some cases even better, once I had a more open mind and stopped expecting them to be 1:1 to adobe.

Got it, my bad, I misunderstood. And yeah I agree, it can be extremely hard and in lots of cases even impossible to leave adobe for FOSS alternatives as a professional.
