No comrade corodra, since you're (implicitly) accusing another user of being a shill, I can only conclude that you are the shill who, this being your first deployment on the GRU's shared HN account, is not aware of this forum&#x27

Even if you're correct, how is denying these people Photoshop doing anything and why is Adobe punishing the other 10%? Otherwise I can't imagine how you could frame graphic artists as the true enemy of the people.
