    It’s so refreshing to actually have my tax dollars starting to fund consumer protection again.

    If Trump gets in office again, it’s back to backsliding. Because apparently consumer protection is “big government” or some such shit.

    I remember when Adobe was a cool company that built art tools. Now it seems like the art tools are an afterthought, tacked onto a money-siphoning scheme.

      Did they ever? They bought PageMaker in 1994 and Photoshop in 1995. They bought Macromedia in 2006, GoLive, Live motion, Typekit, Behance… Is there anything they’ve ever bought they haven’t slowly ruined with financialisation or just outright shuttering what would have been competition?
