appleprivacyletter VS photoshopCClinux

Hi, the Global Encryption Coalition doesn't take stands as a Coalition but members often do... and 90 or so groups and experts wrote a letter earlier this year in opposition to that: https://appleprivacyletter.com/ (note that ISOC, where I work, did not join that letter)

Part of me wonders if the calculus includes either (a) the open letter signed by (effectively) ~10k verified developers [1], (b) the complaint letters from groups like the EFF [2, 3], or (c) expert and qualified input from their (presumably huge) marketing department...

An Open Letter Against Apple's Privacy-Invasive Content Scanning Technology

(e.g. https://appleprivacyletter.com/)

In that light, FISA is relevant. My statement was to show that not all dealings of the US government are public, because not all courts and legal proceedings are available to the public. So "serious risk of leaks to journalists" won't likely happen in that case.

Thanks for this link. He mentions Apple Privacy Letter which is another petition for the same issue.

You can sign the petition against Apple here.

I suggest you read the open letter circulating to better understand the problems with Apple’s implementation.

Unless you need the newest features, Photoshop runs surprisingly well under Wine - and I don't mean this in the usual "oh yea, Wine totally works" way where it's a huge pain to set up and is 90% luck, it actually runs with barely more glitches than on Windows (not zero, but it's Adobe software, so you can't expect much).

This is the installer I used to use: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

This one is newer and looks even more promising: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

Indeed it is.

not an expert, but a quick google brought me here

I use this: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

this project on github might be the answer

There are Linux repacks for Photoshop which isn't exactly legal but it sets up wine and it's much easier than installing it on windows https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

Since then, I try to keep an eye on DaVinci Resolve things (like MakeResolveDeb) and things like the WinApps/cassowary, Gictorbit/MiMillieuh Photoshop installer, and Photogimp, or news like about OBS being officially supported on Linux through Flatpak and why that matters.
