  • Imagine how you look up a website as calling someone from a phone number, but everyone can only use addresses that go like 123.45.67.89. You can always call them through there, but that would be really hard to memorize. DNS gives dynamic names to these numbers, so when you ask for google.com; they take the request before and say “oh, google.com? That links to this number, so here you go”

    There is a company called WHOIS that is entirely dedicated to keep records of this name list, but not all DNS’s use it fully, as an example when adblocking DNS’s gets told to pull something from a site that has ads, the DNS doesnt give the number of ad services back to the browser, but gives the rest of them. As a result, you do not see the ads.


















  • Dropping all of that budget to art universities to have them teach Adobe software primarily. Inkscape, Kdenlive and GIMP do not have the funds to compete in this way, and once people learn a software to do their job, it becomes really hard to switch. Sure, enthausists can learn other open software, that’s not my target audience. My target audience is the one that uses such software to earn their money, and most of them will pursue higher education before doing so to learn their tools better, and Adobe will make that money back really easily with their subscription plans.
