I will definitely be downloading #affinity and seeing if I can make the switch. Pretty certain I will have to keep using InDesign for work reasons but I'll be very happy to offload the rest of the #adobe suite if I can. So fed up with being treated as AI-fodder after years of loyalty.
@bryan dementia would suck, but I'm hoping they'll have that figured out by the time I get there. They seem to have some pretty good leads. Shingles is strongly linked to cognitive decline, for instance, and I guess the vaccine protects against that.
@bryan survivorship bias survives on survivor anecdotes. My grandmother, a lifelong smoker, died when she was about 60 from lung cancer. No dementia, though, she had that going for her. Entirely aware all the way to the end.
@swelljoe My grandmother quit smoking when she was 70-ish. She stated her habit of smoking daily at 12. Anyway, at 70, she was taking care of her mother at the time. Her mother (my great-grandmother) spent the last 10 years of her life with dementia.
The experience made my grandmother decide she’d rather be dead than “talk like a fool”. So she started to smoke again. She passed many years later and never had dementia.

I suggest that you avoid purchasing any products or services from #Adobe.I base this on my recent experience with Adobe, buyng an upgrade — that fails to run on my computer. There is (apparently) no way for a customer to talk or correspond with a human being at Adobe. Because I have no record of any (impossible) correspondence with any Adobe human, Adobe and my credit card company both decline to issue a refund. REPEAT: I suggest that you avoid purchasing any products or services from Adobe.
#paintdotnet: #GIMP is an okay #Adobe a#Photoshop alternative, but this free app is even betterhttps://www.xda-developers.com/paint-net-better-photoshop-alternative-than-gimp/?utm_source=XDA-NL&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=XDA-202511170700&user=cGFvbG8ucmVkYWVsbGlAbGliZXJvLml0&lctg=d7fec414ea07565de0b2e04d9afaf3765a0e4f76762461a0da6bf9cd486b3f8a> It's faster and works more like Photoshop
