Apologies for being the bearer of bad news. "6 hours ago" means roughly 6-7pm Eastern on April 30, 2025. I have no further information; I only know because I was going to visit the wiki and . . . apparently now I'm not.

It's under "Guides & Search Engines" in the Software section of the megathread, should anyone with rights care to update.

Im not even sure what this sub is for?

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 58 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

From search : GenP is a tool that allows you to medicine Adobe apps on Windows 10 and 11

[–] dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To medicine?

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah odd but on GitHub there is mention of pill 💊, either loss in translation or lingo https://github.com/wangzhenjjcn/AdobeGenp/releases

[–] Dumhuvud@programming.dev 42 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's just an euphemism, "DRM / License check" = "disease".

[–] dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So to medicine is like to download lots of Linux ISOs, sometimes.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

I also love to legally torrent my favourite open source software legally.

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Thx

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Imagine using Adobe. Being bled dry.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I use a really good, free alternative to photoshop and indesign.

They're called pirated photoshop and pirated indesign.

[–] SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Photopea! Browser based and almost as good.

Though I am not a professional.

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you mean photopea

[–] SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh right.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

Imagine ~~using~~ paying Adobe. Being bled dry.

[–] TeamAssimilation 35 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What did GenP stood for?

[–] SanicHegehog@lemm.ee 33 points 3 weeks ago

Seems to be a tool to patch Adobe products so that they don’t require a license

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe 'Generate Photoshop' based on the comments here.
Generate due to it seemingly being a cracking focused ommunity

[–] Sydnxt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It was a shit name, my bad. "Generic Patcher" lol.

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago

Bsck when I was on Windows, I had used GenP for YEARS without knowing the full form. I have now found the answer.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Someone on dbzer0 should make a genp community.

[–] hyderite@programming.dev 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

!GenP@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

prefix it with an exclamation mark to make an instance agnostic link.

!genp@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

New to Lemmy. Can you explain what this means?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

So, since lemmy is comprised of many servers, links on dbzer0 won't work for me, on lemm.ee .

This link will link to any server's copy of the community.

[–] hyderite@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Alright, thanks :)

[–] lemmywinksthegerbilking@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

they should come over here to the bright side lemmy

[–] Sydnxt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Your wish is granted ;)

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Welcome!

[–] lemmywinksthegerbilking@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

nice

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why is this a surprise?

[–] utnoar@lemm.ee 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Nobody is surprised. But it is sad news nonetheless.

[+] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev -15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why is it sad news?

[–] daisykutter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I really dont see it as bad news, probably people that still uses reddit sees it as a blow to piracy or something along the lines.

I really hope Reddit keeps on its road to enshittification so more people realizes what kind of shit hole it is and more open to try the fediverse they would be.

If Reddit keeps on this track its only a matter of time till the fediverse gets a proper place among the broad public

I don't see this ever happening to be honest. Considering how much shitter YouTube has been for so much longer I don't believe most people online will ever leave the mainstream platforms.

I believe fediverse will be like Linux. It'll always have a dedicated userbase large enough to sustain itself, but it won't be big like the proprietary platforms. And that's ok.

[–] Lolen10@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

On the other hand there's not really a great alternative to YouTube. I mean, yes there are alternatives but these are still not as usable as YouTube (with Adblocker) is.

Hosting a video platforms on which millions of users upload millions of gigabytes is REALLY expensive so only a tech giant like google can host one to this extend.

Reddit (or the fediverse) are mostly text, some images and few videos. This is much more feasible to host than a YouTube alternative.

But yeah. Normal users probably just don't care in the first place. We'll see what will happen.

[–] weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

There are alternatives to YouTube though, there are a lot of them. It's just none of them are viable for the viewers because content creators are hell bent on never using anything other than YouTube. To the point I believe they aren't actually bothered by YouTube's problems and only occasionaly complain about it for easy views.

Personally I don't care anymore, YouTube's problems don't affect me. As long as PipePipe works I'm happy. And if it stops working I'll just stop watching YouTube, or just minimize my usage to the extent it's possible.

Lemmy already came such a long way though, when I first tried using it, it was a barren wasteland. Federated social media is the only kind of online platform that can brute force it's way into viability so I'm confident Lemmy will continue to grow or remain big enough to satisfy it's users. It just won't be as big as Reddit.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This isn't a place for the broad public though. I live in a place that is 75% conservatives and they are not welcome here. It doesn't work both ways. Either you stay what you are and grow very slowly, or you allow different thoughts. It won't happen, but Lemmy would quickly outgrow it's current capacity if it did.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

h. I live in a place that is 75% conservatives and they are not welcome here.

This is a public forum and you don't make these decisions

Pipe down.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is a public forum and you don't make these decisions

You're right, we all do. Which is why conservatives aren't welcome here

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

🤡

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, you are!

Or are you seriously going to try and tell me the Conservative communities here are welcoming to them? Or that they don't get massively downvoted and bullied until they either leave or learn to shut the fuck up?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Anyone can sign and join Fediverse that's the entire purpose of it a decentralized platform.

I am sorry politics hurt your brain to a point where you can't understand world outside of the idiotic American left right cricle frame of reference.

But sure keep jerking yourself as a good liberal lol

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Good job, you know the basics! Doesn't mean they're welcome, though

you can't understand world outside of the idiotic American left right cricle frame of reference.

Lol, random unrelated insult thrown in here for no reason, I see

But sure keep jerking yourself as a good liberal lol

I'm not a liberal, nor am I jerking myself off as one. You seem pretty upset to have a basic fact about the website you use pointed out to you, bud

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If everyone disagrees with you, maybe you're wrong.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

If everybody agrees with me, I ain't doing my job

[–] AstralSerenity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's what has gotten me to move ;)

The cherry on top is that the same FOSS client I used for reddit now exists in a forked Lemmy version (Eternity).

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 11 points 3 weeks ago

This has always been a class war. Plebs have been lulled I to comfort but the gloves are now coming off across economic sectors.

May the odds be on your favour!
