Data is already plural, so the form datas does not exist. It even has the rarely used singular datum as it is just Latin for "given", but using data instead is generally also regarded correct.

Datas is more fun to read.

But the keyboard has no Ban key

I agree, although some very unsympathetic part of me internally screams every time I read that.

[–] ISOmorph 9 points 1 month ago

OP is obviously Dr. Noonien Soong

[–] pbjamm@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

Technically correct, which is the best kind.

[–] Umbrias@beehaw.org -3 points 1 month ago

Datas is correct if you are referring to multiple distinct populations of data. Which in this case works.

If pirating a product that is for sale is "theft"

Is pirating a product that is for rental (like adobe).... Squatting?

(Joke obvs)

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 7 points 1 month ago

I wonder if that means we can claim adverse possession

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even when you pirate their stuff you are giving them things; market share, data, seo pumps, bug reports, data.

You could try putting firewall rules and block it from ever connecting to the internet.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

You're still giving them market share and training yourself in their software. When you need to search up online how to do a gradient, you give views to tutorials for their products.

Use GIMP and skip the bullshit.

[–] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 14 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Not as intuitive for someone who was taught photoshop at an early age

[–] first_ad4972@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I find krita quite easy to use

[–] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

Okay ill try kitra

[–] polle 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I stared with Photoshop cs2, now iam using just krita for years.

[–] pbjamm@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago

Krita is amazing

[–] IanM32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Krita is A+.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Always found gimp far easier than Photoshop

[–] yuri@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

photogimp exists and is fantastic

[–] sillyhatsonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

How about Da Vinci Resolve?

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

you two surely have nice chemistry
