Is it possible to pay for an Adobe sub, and install only the so you want without any background update service?
I wanted to install bridge, and it installed a management app. I find it not to trying at startup, but it still runs an update service regardless.
I don't understand how Adobe gets away with such invasive software.
They have money, and with it comes power. Also, main Adobe users seem to not care about shady bussiness practices because they "need" Adobe's products.
While I often have to use Adobe stuff in my line of work (its unfortunately the industry standard) I made the decision a couple of years back that Adobe software isn't allowed to touch my personal devices. On the Mac, Creative Cloud is essentially malware. I use Affinity to replace photoshop and illustrator, while Apple Photos has been enough for me so far to replace Lightroom.
Anyone got a good Illustrator replacement for SVG and vector creation?

Yeah I’m super glad I don’t deal with the procurement side of things
After their fallout with Pantone, I was done.
I immediately switched to Affinity and haven't looked back. Yes, there is a learning curve and you will have to spend a few hours Googling how to do the same thing but it's easily been able to do the same thing that I was doing before.
The ONLY two features I miss from InDesign is GREP and scripts. Other than that, FUCK ADOBE.
