Adobe in Trouble After Someone Reverse Engineered Adobe Creative Suite and Released It as Open Source
“About time we leave adobe for good.”
https://futurism.com/future-society/adobe-creative-suite-software-open-source-artcraft?fbclid=IwdGRjcAU1XupjbGNrBTVexGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEeQHugSzAv0rI5v_FBZaVmt7HZqH0ppcNpZwCr0t4qcLa5v-JOk-RySWTbGFg_aem_anldGaELHZH7I3l0dwtJOA
For years, illustrators, photographers, designers, and video editors have been held under the thumb of a single software company: Adobe.
The infamous Adobe Creative Suite, later rebranded as the Creative Cloud — a change which brought about an end to true offline use — has long dogged creatives with its incredibly high subscription fees, representing an ironclad grip on the world of artists and other creatives.
Though plenty of competitors have tried to ram their way into the market, few have been able to make a dent against the dominant Creative Cloud. That may be about to change — and not because of a tech giant like Apple, but thanks to the efforts of a four-person team vibecoding out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Introducing ArtCraft: a new free and open-source software suite for creatives whose apps bear a striking similarity to Adobe’s perennial editing tools.
There are a few caveats here. For starters, the ArtCraft apps are all in active development, with a few tools in the “early alpha” stage, meaning a professional user is probably stuck with Adobe for the time being. The apps are also packed with various AI offerings, so anybody seeking the manual Creative Suite experience of yesteryear will probably have to dodge some prompt windows, though AI use is by no means required by ArtCraft’s apps.
The vibe-coded nature of the project has likewise given some pause — as one user commented on the “FuckAdobe” subreddit, it’s a “very impressive” effort, but though “AI makes it much easier to build prototypes quickly,” they aren’t “necessarily polished, stable products.”

Norjan puolustusvoimien suurharjoituksessa paljastui vakava tietoturva-aukko, kun käytössä olleiden kiinalaisten vuokra-autojen havaittiin kuvanneen ja tallentaneen sotilaiden toimintaa. Vakavimpana havaintona pidettiin pääsykoodien tallentumista kamerakuvaan.
