If you feel disheartened by Adobe's news today 😔💔
I know change can be hard but
I would love to point you to a couple of great alternatives you will get used to in no time:
Replace Photoshop with -> @npub19wr…pzmm 🖌️
Replace Illustrator with -> @npub17ha…thyj 🖋️
Why? Because of this: https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/06/06/adobes-new-terms-of-service-unacceptably-gives-them-access-to-all-of-your-projects-for-free
If you know any other great
Adobe software replacements,
please list them below to help others 👇

Chat Control legislation is the equivalent of forcing the use of transparent envelops for every letters sent. It is incredibly dangerous for everyone's privacy and data.
It breaks encryption 💔
It doesn't protect anyone ⚠️
It endangers everyone! ☠️
Write to your local representatives about it. Push against Chat Control with all you've got ✊
This is important.

A Word of Advice if you
intend on using/trying Microsoft's newly announced Recall feature :windows: :
Be *extremely* careful with the data of others.
Recording your own data is one thing, but if you continuously use a feature that will record others on video conferences, chat conversations, and emails, without explicit consent, you could get in a lot of trouble.
Not only this can be extremely unethical (to say the least), but it could also expose you to serious legal consequences.
Remember:
1. Be careful: The use of this feature might not even be legal in some locations/situations/circumstances. If you use it, you should verify this first.
2. Consent should always be free, explicit, and revocable.
3. Once you collect the data of others, you become its guardian. You have a responsibility to secure it properly, for as long as you keep it. This is a heavy burden.
4. The easiest and safest course of action is to simply not collect this data in the first place.
In that sense, I highly recommend NOT using features such as Microsoft's Recall.
This is a data privacy disaster waiting to happen. For others, and for yourself.

About the social media Threads
from Meta (Facebook) starting to federate (connect) with the Fediverse (Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and many other software who are part of the Fediverse family) :facebook: :mastodon:
If you are wondering if
your instance (server) will federate (connect) with Threads,
you can check this very handy website created by [@nm](https://veganism.social/@nm) here: https://fedipact.veganism.social/
The instances marked with "fedipact" have publicly taken a stand to never federate with Threads/Meta ✊💖
👉 If you decide you prefer to move your account to a different instance, here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/111926176205156114
👉 If you want to support your instance's admin(s) or new admin(s), here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/110550055620332092
