I saw a post on Reddit about how to cancel an Adobe subscription without the asshole "early cancellation fee" and figured it's worth sharing:

1. Login to your adobe account
2. Go to plans and payments
3. Find your current plan and select "Manage Plan"
4. The third box on the right should say "Cancel Plan"
5. It will ask you why, tell them "Go fuck yourself" and press continue
6. It will offer you to change plans, select "Photography plan (20GB)" - $9.99
7. Confirm the change
8. Now go back to your Plans and it may say "You'll be able to manage this plan shortly" and that's because there is a waiting period after starting a plan, probably to ensure you forget to cancel or something. Took about an hour for it to go away, so if it's there just walk away and refresh the page every 15 minutes or so.
9. Once you are able to manage your plan, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5. This time actually cancel the plan. There will be no early cancellation fee AND you'll be refunded the $9.99.

Fuck adobe.

Winter fun! ❄️

End-to-end encryption has been highlighted as a critical privacy measure for abortion seekers and providers since the reversal of Roe, and has long been a demand from groups including racial justice activists, LBGTQ+ folks, immigrants, and journalists. https://www.wired.com/story/end-to-end-encryption-abortion-privacy/

Now, we need 🐦Apple to secure the communications of its users by implementing the RCS messaging protocol for iMessage, which would allow texts between iPhone & Android users to be end-to-end encrypted. This is a non-negotiable next step.

Despite law enforcement claims (& years of pressuring Apple to NOT end-to-end encrypt iCloud), encryption makes people more safe, not less safe. This will improve human rights & digital security globally, especially for people and communities that are already over-surveilled.

Apple’s reputation as the pro-privacy tech company has long been at odds with the reality that iCloud backups aren’t secured by end-to-end encryption. This news means peoples’ personal messages, documents, and data will be secure from law enforcement, hackers, and Apple itself.

BIG NEWS: 🐦Apple plans to implement end-to-end encryption on iCloud backups!

Apple has finally killed its ill-conceived plan to scan photos for CSAM. This is a direct result of work by experts and activists. Speaking up is important and sometimes we win.
