Pirating Windows for what? It works as full version even if you let it be, watermark does nothing.

Piracy is cool, but I prefer to use community-driven software rather than ones driven by corporate profits. I prefer a model where many can contribute to it, fork it, and for which making integrations is much easier thanks to its openness.
Do you donate for the efforts?
Yes
Not OP but still good.
It takes many small efforts to make a big change! :)
Hell yeah
Krita has a better brush engine and the AI plugin is amazing. The live AI painting with layers is so cool. It's like magic
When monopolies exist. How everyone didn’t care for the last 25 years is even wilder. Adobe has been controlling the design communities forever *flips water bottle
Yarr, ye by digging yourself a Mass Grave if you be running them Next Gen programs of the P variety.
Honestly, though, how long is that going to work for you? Windows 10 runs out of service like next year, sooner for most versions. It's just not sustainable.
You can still pirate Windows 11 matey. And don't forget Win 10 LTSC edition still has support until 2027.
Windows 11 LTSC was also released recently for anyone that has to use 11.
Windows 10 LTSC ftw.
You can use windows 11 too? Just run an activation script and boom
Yeah but Windows 11 is even worse than Windows 10 which was already a step down from Windows 7.
True, i hate windows too but there are always debloaters and privacy scripts thatll help a little bit
Not that I condone piracy, but I thought photoshop switched to a SaaS model from CS6 or so that made it unlikely to be pirated?
CC is very piratable.
It's still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.
When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.
Yup. The only real difference is the pricing model, the program is pretty much the same.
I rememeber they tried offering online libraries of stuff for download to justify the subscription for some products.
Last time SWIM used a patcher, it came with a malware dropper. Is that still how this "free" works?
Sometimes yes.
