A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

When it comes down to the wire, every single corporation will bow down to fascists and oppressor nations. Adobe will royally fuck US citizens, while giving a culture that oppresses women and hates homosexuality free services.

I mean all of their products are subscription based and this is only a 1 year subscription. They're just giving away a free trial to open up a new market is all. Not really big news. If they were making it free for the life of the product, that might be a bigger deal.

But yeah, also F*** the SA government.
