Apologies for being the bearer of bad news. “6 hours ago” means roughly 6-7pm Eastern on April 30, 2025. I have no further information; I only know because I was going to visit the wiki and . . . apparently now I’m not.
It’s under “Guides & Search Engines” in the Software section of the megathread, should anyone with rights care to update.
Im not even sure what this sub is for?
From search : GenP is a tool that allows you to medicine Adobe apps on Windows 10 and 11
Imagine using Adobe. Being bled dry.
I use a really good, free alternative to photoshop and indesign.
They’re called pirated photoshop and pirated indesign.
Photopea! Browser based and almost as good.
Though I am not a professional.
I think you mean photopea
Oh right.
Imagine
usingpaying Adobe. Being bled dry.Using it at all, even pirated, means becoming contaminated on some level with Adobe paradigms and makes more people more likely to eventually hand Adobe more money because “it’s what I’m used to”.
At least pirate something that isn’t so disgusting, like Affinity, if you simply must use corpo software.
Or, you know, “stay hungry” and keep learning new UI & methods to achieve your target results. Not everyone’s a spoonfed moron, but I do agree with your pointing out that Adobe is merely following suit in the age-old “first time’s free” routine.
For reasons that should be crystal clear at this point to anyone with half a brain, Crapple “gave” millions of their candy-colored shitboxes to schools around the country throughout the 90s, and look at 'em now. 🤮
Don’t shame the consumer, fellow citizen. You’re just as much profit fodder as the rest of us.
Yeah, every time I use a program for free, it really makes me think “man, if only I could shell out over $100 a year for this”. Such a problem I have.
To medicine?
Yeah odd but on GitHub there is mention of pill 💊, either loss in translation or lingo https://github.com/wangzhenjjcn/AdobeGenp/releases
It’s just an euphemism, “DRM / License check” = “disease”.
So to medicine is like to download lots of Linux ISOs, sometimes.
I also love to legally torrent my favourite open source software legally.
Thx
to medicine > to crack
You’d download legit trial versions of adobe shit and use GenP to disable the trial and call home functionalities. Brilliant bit of kit before I moved to Linux.
I run photoshop in wine just fine ;)
Honestly didn’t even know that’s possible
What version do you run?👀👀
CC 2021 (I know the URL says 22, but it provides both options and 22 allegedly is less stable)
Did you know that google paid wine to make cs2 run properly?
Google later paid for improvements to Wine’s support for Adobe Photoshop CS2.[27] Wine is also a regular beneficiary of Google’s Summer of Code program.[28]
Can this work for acrobat?
No idea!

Some old versions seem to run fine.
violating Reddits copyright policy
This is coming to all the piracy and grey areas of reddit
We welcome their refugees. Many of them, at least.
Yeah. I’m really surprised that r/piracy is still up. I would have guessed that that sub would be killed firstly as it’s one of the biggest.
Why is this a surprise?
Nobody is surprised. But it is sad news nonetheless.
Why is it sad news?
I really dont see it as bad news, probably people that still uses reddit sees it as a blow to piracy or something along the lines.
I really hope Reddit keeps on its road to enshittification so more people realizes what kind of shit hole it is and more open to try the fediverse they would be.
If Reddit keeps on this track its only a matter of time till the fediverse gets a proper place among the broad public

I don’t see this ever happening to be honest. Considering how much shitter YouTube has been for so much longer I don’t believe most people online will ever leave the mainstream platforms.
I believe fediverse will be like Linux. It’ll always have a dedicated userbase large enough to sustain itself, but it won’t be big like the proprietary platforms. And that’s ok.
On the other hand there’s not really a great alternative to YouTube. I mean, yes there are alternatives but these are still not as usable as YouTube (with Adblocker) is.
Hosting a video platforms on which millions of users upload millions of gigabytes is REALLY expensive so only a tech giant like google can host one to this extend.
Reddit (or the fediverse) are mostly text, some images and few videos. This is much more feasible to host than a YouTube alternative.
But yeah. Normal users probably just don’t care in the first place. We’ll see what will happen.
There are alternatives to YouTube though, there are a lot of them. It’s just none of them are viable for the viewers because content creators are hell bent on never using anything other than YouTube. To the point I believe they aren’t actually bothered by YouTube’s problems and only occasionaly complain about it for easy views.
Personally I don’t care anymore, YouTube’s problems don’t affect me. As long as PipePipe works I’m happy. And if it stops working I’ll just stop watching YouTube, or just minimize my usage to the extent it’s possible.
Lemmy already came such a long way though, when I first tried using it, it was a barren wasteland. Federated social media is the only kind of online platform that can brute force it’s way into viability so I’m confident Lemmy will continue to grow or remain big enough to satisfy it’s users. It just won’t be as big as Reddit.
This isn’t a place for the broad public though. I live in a place that is 75% conservatives and they are not welcome here. It doesn’t work both ways. Either you stay what you are and grow very slowly, or you allow different thoughts. It won’t happen, but Lemmy would quickly outgrow it’s current capacity if it did.
h. I live in a place that is 75% conservatives and they are not welcome here.
This is a public forum and you don’t make these decisions
Pipe down.
This is a public forum and you don’t make these decisions
You’re right, we all do. Which is why conservatives aren’t welcome here
🤡
If everyone disagrees with you, maybe you’re wrong.
If everybody agrees with me, I ain’t doing my job
It’s what has gotten me to move ;)
The cherry on top is that the same FOSS client I used for reddit now exists in a forked Lemmy version (Eternity).
Yeah well, it’s not news that Reddit does this. I’m still baffled how people see this as sad news here.

I don’t understand. Are you saying we should be happy to see more online communities being eliminated for the benefit of corporate interests? Why wouldn’t it be disappointing (aka, “sad”) to hear about more of that going on, even if you dislike the platform where it’s happening?
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. Anything that leads to the demise of Reddit is something I (personally) will be happy about. It’s their problem if they stay on a platform like that, knowing full well that their community can be banned in an instant. Now they have the option to create that community here.
That’s unfortunate.
Someone on dbzer0 should make a genp community.
prefix it with an exclamation mark to make an instance agnostic link.
Alright, thanks :)
New to Lemmy. Can you explain what this means?
So, since lemmy is comprised of many servers, links on dbzer0 won’t work for me, on lemm.ee .
This link will link to any server’s copy of the community.
This has always been a class war. Plebs have been lulled I to comfort but the gloves are now coming off across economic sectors.
May the odds be on your favour!
What did GenP stood for?
Seems to be a tool to patch Adobe products so that they don’t require a license
Maybe ‘Generate Photoshop’ based on the comments here.
Generate due to it seemingly being a cracking focused ommunityIt was a shit name, my bad. “Generic Patcher” lol.
Bsck when I was on Windows, I had used GenP for YEARS without knowing the full form. I have now found the answer.
