Acrobat. I hung onto a license for years until The Slop started a year or so ago.
Now I use Bluebeam. I asked the IT boffins to remove Acrobat from my PC and was delighted to discover it gone a week ago.
Buh bye!

@hacks4pancakes I just bought a domain from GoDaddy, and it added an AI chatbot to my temporary landing page...that I couldn't turn off. I got a refund and took my business elsewhere.

godaddy is owned by a bunch of misogynistic techbro creeps. I won't do business with them.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@bruce I didn't know that, but I assume all tech companies are these days. They refunded me, and those are the last of my dollars they'll ever see.

They've spent years trying to repair their reputation, but I still don't trust them. Maybe they're better now. Maybe not. But I keep Maya Angelou's warning close at heart.

GoDaddy built its business on sexist ads but then changed tack

The internet company is actively promoting women and has tackled its laddish culture

@ohmu @hacks4pancakes I have bad news for you...

[ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us]

@ondrej @hacks4pancakes
Oh I know.
But they aren't pushing it in my face. It's there as an option if I feel so inclined and I hope it stays that way.

Acrobat popped open a "Did you know you can do an AI thing?" window with almost every mouse click.

@alice Where’d you go? I’ve been satisfied with namecheap, but heard they recently got VCed, so am bracing for awfulness.

[ondrej@mastodon.rfc1925.org]

@ohmu @hacks4pancakes No disagreement here…
