<p class="about-p">VFP media started as a portfolio website for getting potential web development jobs. I eventually axed my portfolio website as I figured it no longer served me.
After awhile I started playing with Certbot and discovered I could have multiple subdomains with a wildcard DNS certificate, so now I end up controlling
as many websites as I want with the *.vfpmedia subdomain.
</p>
<p class="about-p">
Since then I've worked freelance making several small websites for myself and others, eventually the financial strain was too great, and I had to get a regular job.
I was gardening at the time, and I figured why not do something that I already kind of like doing and get paid for it?
</p>
<p class="about-p">
I met my now girlfriend and partner who encouraged me to start this business as a way to help artists get paid and have an online presence, artists that we know
are working hard at their craft rather than prompting an AI and trying to make money with it. We both have quite a disdain for AI as we've seen it disrupt the lives of our friends
and family. I believe we choose the technologies we want to exist in this world. It may seem like we are powerless, but I want to show people that you don't have to accept new technology.
I've been called a luddite but I refuse to accept a world where art isn't made by human beings. Why should we automate away the very things that make us human?

Welcome to my _new blog_ about learning Astro! Here, I will share my learning journey as I build a new website.
## What I've accomplished
1. **Installing Astro**: First, I created a new Astro project and set up my online accounts.
2. **Making Pages**: I then learned how to make pages by creating new `.astro` files and placing them in the `src/pages/` folder.
3. **Making Blog Posts**: This is my first blog post! I now have Astro pages and Markdown posts!
## What's next
I will finish the Astro tutorial, and then keep adding more posts. Watch this space for more to come.

## why should I stop using adobe photoshop as a visual artist?
1. **Your art could potentially be used to train their AI**:
2. **The Free alternatives are genuinely capable for professional Use**:
3. **Adobe has had bad business practices in the past**:
## Why should i stop using adobe animate as an animator?
1. **Adobe Animate no longer exists*
2. **Photoshop sucks as a tool for animation, and after affects is hardly similar to 2d animation**
## Why should i stop using adobe audition as a musician?
1. **Nobody uses Audition for Music Production tbh.**
## Why should i stop using adobe premiere as a Video editor?
1. **Why pay for video editing when you can use ffmpeg directly?**
