proprietary software eats other proprietary software (canva acquires affinity)

Did you see there is now a book about enshittification that you can buy?

… as I like to say when stepping out of the shower :smiley:

Ah, sorry. Force of habit. Most forums forbid swearwords, but shirts are allowed.

Canva talks big about no auto opt-in for this but it happens by default and you have to explicitly undo it. Big surprise…

I just downloaded a copy of the Affinity Photo 2.0 installer while its still available, so I know I can rebuild it if necessary. I only use it occasionally and mostly for photo stitching and focus stacking (and that may change as Shine Stacker gains its legs), so I’m glad I don’t have to worry about any shenanigans from Canva.

Right now I’m feeling like Darktable and Rawtherapee are becoming a safe harbor for photo editing.
