Ancient Greek Historian Herodotus (484-425/413 BC), often criticized for inaccuracy in his Histories, but on the customs of Persians is regarded as accurate. He is also accurate in his description of birthdays as important annual events as Persians and also of instituting serving of desserts after meal. He is also correct in his passage in same chapter on Persian love of wine and their policy of making decisions drunk and then reevaluating same when sober.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.
