@baldur This is insane, because presumably you are paying adobe some fee to use it's products and it's still stealing data from you in a super shady way. There's a strong privacy argument for preferring local desktop applications that this "everything in the cloud" nonsense. I get that cloud storage is super convenient, but it's not _terribly_ hard to to set up a NAS yourself, but I acknowledge not everyone has the know how / wants to do that. 3 comments
I don't think it's an over-reaction. For instance, if I'm a landscape photographer who sells licensed photos, I'd happily sell my work to a company that wants to include it in a training dataset of bridges. If I take portraits and someone comes along and wants to build a facial recognition dataset, I personally might have an issue with that. Adobe is removing that choice from the legal owner of the work. If you are fine with it, great. Don't assume everyone is. Another thing I have an issue with is the "opt-out" rather than "opt-in" choice. Adobe is making the same assumption that you might be making; everyone is fine with it, what's the big deal? Opt-out feature roll-outs are a dark pattern and synonymous with bad behavior in my opinion. |

What's "insane" is the ignorant over-reaction this entire thread is full of.
