When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn’t play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

    Pirating the stuff wouldn’t counter a lot of my ethical reasons for not using Adobe (and would arguably undermine them too.)

    I don’t like the idea of a single-sourced software solution becoming the basis for entire creative and professional industries. Hardware either, for that matter, but that’s a different issue.

    So I don’t use Adobe. I avoid using MS Office.

    Probably a silly hill to die on if it comes down to it, but I turned down a 1700 dollar free Macbook on principle.

      And because I know it will come up:

      No, I don’t like relying on Windows for things either, hence as much of my suite of software being cross-platform as possible.

      I’m willing to go Windows more than Apple simply because, while Windows has a bit of a stranglehold, it’s one of apathy rather than malice (like I feel much of Apple’s exclusivity and control is.) Windows’ hold on gaming and productivity markets is dying as Linux gains a stronger foothold, as it should.
