It's not just Adobe. Now Logitech wants me to go to a random website in order to add peripherals to my computer, and I'm met with this when I go to the page they tell me to

If they’re hosting the manual then they can keep it updated (typos/mistakes/changes etc.).
This was never a problem with manuals when they were hosted offline.
Printed manuals can become outdated by the time it reaches the buyer.
What, the product magically changes during shipping?

The reality of Big Tech's 'fake work' problem - Inside the perverse system of 'lazy management' that's destroying the tech industry

If management weren't lazy they would make work much much smoother so engineers can actually solve problems they are excited about instead of workaround shitty management policies and decisions.

Your value is not determined by your productivity.
A lot of sociopaths propagate the lie that everyone in the world is as selfish and corrupt as they are. These people are the ones who are controlling capital. It's their incapability to be normal like everyone else that's responsible for their sociopathy and also their projection of values.
Don't be fooled, you're sane if you reject the capitalistic ideals. It's insane to make somebody else disproportionately wealthy with your hardwork and ideas.

To be fair... us common folk keep hearing stuff about the economy.. but the only outcome at the end of the day is we get screwed in higher prices, lower wages, fucked up climate for our kids. People get tired pretending this Economy isn't rigged by wall street and the U.S Govt or people close to it.

Actually a little bit of humiliation goes a long way towards diligence when conducting expensive space experiments. Russia used to be the leaders in these fields. The world used to rely on Soviet vehicles for launch. They deserve to be held at a higher standard.

There's no billionaire who didn't steal from the hard work of others. Every billionaire is a scoundrel of some sort, a thug if you try to take their cash cow from them.
