We should be able to own software we purchase. Not "license." OWN. That's how it used to be and that's how it should be again. Same argument as right to repair, but for software instead of hardware.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.
And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

automations that act (on your behalf) on a triggered sensor are generally less impressive than the sensing mechanism itself
Automations are as good as the accuracy of the sensor and a false-positive automation is more inconvenient than a false-positive sensor which you can act upon yourself

They are trying to make it so no one makes art ,
We are going to miss out on so much great art because of AI. People have ideas for X—a song, a comic, etc.—and they use AI because “I can’t play/draw. If it weren’t for AI it would never get made” BUT THAT ISNT TRUE. There is such joy in art that is made by beginners who just needed to make X

Several thoughts:
1. Non-zero chance this is a partly human-operated scam/hoax.
2. If you use an “A.i.” agent in dealings with me, I will be forced to question your judgement and work and treat you as a security risk.
3. Ban consumer-facing “A.i.”

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
