Data is already plural, so the form datas does not exist. It even has the rarely used singular datum as it is just Latin for "given", but using data instead is generally also regarded correct.

Datas is more fun to read.

I agree, although some very unsympathetic part of me internally screams every time I read that.

OP is obviously Dr. Noonien Soong

Technically correct, which is the best kind.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago

Datas is correct if you are referring to multiple distinct populations of data. Which in this case works.

If pirating a product that is for sale is "theft"

Is pirating a product that is for rental (like adobe).... Squatting?

(Joke obvs)

I wonder if that means we can claim adverse possession

Even when you pirate their stuff you are giving them things; market share, data, seo pumps, bug reports, data.

You could try putting firewall rules and block it from ever connecting to the internet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

You're still giving them market share and training yourself in their software. When you need to search up online how to do a gradient, you give views to tutorials for their products.

Not as intuitive for someone who was taught photoshop at an early age

I find krita quite easy to use

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Okay ill try kitra

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I stared with Photoshop cs2, now iam using just krita for years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Always found gimp far easier than Photoshop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

photogimp exists and is fantastic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

How about Da Vinci Resolve?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

you two surely have nice chemistry

There is one say in Spanish: "Ladrón que roba a ladrón tiene mil años de perdón"
