I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been stupid enough to work for a company that uses Microsoft products.
Have you ever been that stupid?
I'm hoping you're still young so that you have more of a chance to mature. You're confusing necessity for stupidity and completely missing the fact that people need money to survive. My guess is that you grew up fairly wealthy so you never really had to consider that financial problems exist.
You even said something correct below in that avoiding the use of Microsoft is a privilege but I'm also guessing you don't realize exactly what that means. It doesn't make you intellectually superior to anyone, just that you're lucky you're in that position. Similar to how having enough money to not worry about grocery store prices or having no chronic diseases are privileges.
Part of being a good graphic designer is having enough empathy to connect with people so that your design goes through. Be better.
I’m old enough to recognize arrogant bullshit when I see it.
And your arrogant pretense betrays itself– – because either you had enough money to pay for that bullshit, or you’re just some jealous asshole who didn’t. otherwise, you wouldn’t be so angry, so bitter as to complain about it, about me here, decades later. zero cool
I got by by being clever enough to get what I needed without having to pay for it. And I don’t care whether or not you believe me. Because it happened. And here I am. and that’s all the proof I need to show. and I understand why you may resent me for that, you have absolutely zero right to judge me for it.
so fucking deal with it
Don’t blame me because you have a shitty job.
You're claiming to have NEVER worked at a company that uses ANY of these?
Half of their products are server-side and you'd never know you were using them as an end user. Unless you've literally never worked anywhere at all, that's extremely unlikely.
I’ve been a freelancer since I graduated from design school.
I work for myself and choose my own software. If that’s so unbelievable to you, I don’t know what to tell you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You work for yourself, not employed by another company.
So you are being disingenuous.
I think many (most?) would argue that is basically the same as lying about it.
No, you’re splitting hairs just so you can rationalize your petty anger against me over something that, at this point is just silly. I just can’t care anymore.
I don’t use Microsoft products. And I really think both of us have wasted way too much time arguing about it. I think we can both agree to just drop it at this point.
Shall we?
