Affinity has been bought by Canva, to compete with Adobe.

It was of course a matter of time before Affinity would outgrow its status of sympathetic small-scale Adobe alternative, and be sold for large proceeds.

Canva is into AI. Hopefully Affinity will get some useful AI-powered image processing tools, like upscalers and denoisers, but Canva will probably add generative shit and introduce subscriptions sooner or later.

@metin This sucks :(

But to be honest, before switching to Affinity, I was still using old Adobe suite software, versions from before the subscription model... Even if Affinity goes to the subscription model, you probably don't need the all new super fancy version. If you bought the v2 just keep it, use it for 5-10+ years, until another competitor rises and the cycle starts anew! πŸ˜…

@metin Fuck. Can't ever have too much of a good thing.

Man, why can't we have a single good Vector/Publisher/photomanip that doesn't enshittify?

@metin why do I feel lucky that I never bought something from them and stuck with open source.

Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?

Just include from:me in the search field.

Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.

If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)

If it doesn't work, have a look at this:

@metin note that this only applies to instances with full-text search enabled. Especially low-resource ones will not enable this.

@metin

Doesn't work for me in the web interface. Is this something that's implemented in one of the apps? or a new version of Mastodon?
