Nice ad put out by #TheOnion satirical newspaper, highlighting the issue of software as a service and software subscriptions. In case of #Adobe the livelihood of most creative professionals and artists depends on the monthly subscription. Sure software development has to be payed for, but users lack control on the price or features. The popularity of general purpose AI is set to introduce a similar 'license to operate' on broader society. Support #FreeSoftware for a way out software dependence.
