Casimir Radon posted:The Taliban are a creation of Pakistan. During the war they funneled most of the money we gave them to lovely people like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, after skimming a ton of it for themselves that is. Gulbuddin got himself dumped and replaced with the Taliban later because he's an incompetent doofus. I mean lets also not forget that Pakistan literally sent 100,000 troops into Afghanistan providing training and support for the Taliban. They provided air support, logistics, strategic advise and lots and lots of weapons and bodies. Indeed, the reason why the Afghani Taliban even exists is because Hekmatyar made a fool of himself accomplishing nothing other than bloodshed during the siege of Kabul and Benazir Bhutto realized she made a bad bet. Accordingly, Pakistan decided to start supporting the other group of genocidal assholes who wanted to purge Tajiks and Uzbekis and the Hazara peoples for not being "real Afghanis." Surprisingly they actually had a handful of Tajik and Uzbek tribesmen among their ranks in the 90s (and still do I'm sure), and were less overtly racialized than the other various non-United Front tribal groups, but they still wanted to drive essentially all non-Pashtuns out of Afghanistan. Obviously, this is a thorny issue for peace talks.

I mean sure it also means you gotta nuke whatever old versions of Adobe software you use and just eat whatever lovely new (or deleted) features/bloat are in the new versions plus watch your old projects occasionally become unopenable anymore due to a new version not being compatible. But yes if you want to be technical you were just renting software and if you were happy with the old one that worked fine tough poo poo they can sue

Everything being a subscription is the worst. I miss just buying a software key and being done with it. Next console generation is gonna totally revolve around a monthly subscription to play first party games. Cant wait ti see what else gets a monthly monetization fee!

The only problem with the XBONE model was that it was too soon. Another five years or so (so almost a decade after proposed) people will be so used to SaaS leeching their every dollar that they won't put up the same fight. edit: I mean from a project execution standpoint.

FYI Adobe has full versions of CS2 and Adobe Pro 7 along with a couple other things available for free on their site because they took down the licensing server but are still obligated to provide the software. You are not allowed to visit Adobe, download this software, and then run it for free forever on your computer if you don’t have the license, of course.

From the NY Timesquote:WASHINGTON — Donald Trump Jr. and the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee reached a deal on Tuesday for the president’s eldest son to sit for a private interview with senators in the coming weeks that will be limited in time, an accord that should cool a heated intraparty standoff.

If you're using any version of Photoshop or other Adobe products from 2013 to present that isn't the literal latest version then you are theoretically liable to be sued. So yeah you're safe if you download the latest version (which if you are subscribed is what you're paying for anyway) but you're boned if you have to use any older version for any of the hundred valid reasons you can think of.

What makes this all the more lovely is that adobe changed the way their product registrations worked in the last year for CC- you used to be able to buy X number of copies of the product for a single license key, and then install it on every computer that needed it using that shared license. This was how every school and university in the country (world?) did it, as they all tend to have shared computer labs that are used by hundreds of students. Well, last year adobe invited all of their customer's sysadmins to webinars to tell them "Hey, we're not doing the shared key thing anymore, it it's on a PER USER basis now and we're switching over next year, eat poo poo." So they would require every student to be registered with an adobe account using their name and email (that I'm sure won't be sold to advertisers). The school then has to buy a license for every student that may be using adobe, or figure out a way to delegate them as needed, adding tons of overhead and annoyance. I don't know if they pulled the trigger on the new registration yet as I changed jobs before I had to go through the headache, but I wouldn't be surprised if this lawsuit was stick to get people to move on it- there was a lot of talk by salty admins about just never updating so they wouldn't have to deal with it. On top of all that I'm pretty sure once you have an adobe CC account set up, it tried to default to saving all your poo poo to the cloud if it's able, so I'm willing to bet we're 5 years from them burying some legalese in the EULA that states they may choose to claim ownership or royalties on anything created in their software.

Adobe also is going to be charging you for canceling your subscription early, to the tune of the remaining amount. They're getting their money one way or the other, gently caress you.
