  • Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky

    Poor Adobe <https://futurism.com/adobe-bullied-bluesky>. That such a
    successful company, making such huge profits off its customers, should
    be treated with disrespect, just seems shameful. It should be
    congratulated for its ability to get people to keep paying it money,
    even as they hate its guts. It takes some really clever (and
    expensive) marketing to achieve such a position.

    You must be joking.

    The success of Adobe, and equivalent junk corps, has nothing
    to to with cleverness. The success of Adobe (and its ilk) is
    due solely to the idiocy of their user base.

    Adobe's clientele, poor dumb bastards all, managed once in
    their lives to slowly learn the proper sequence of "buttons"
    to click and now they are stuck forever. It is literally
    impossible for them to learn anything else.

    It may at first be difficult to believe that such idiots exist,
    and in such large numbers, but they do.

    Even more difficult to believe is that a lot of such idiots
    are well compensated ($$$$).
