Notice to all authors: If you make your adverticements in Canva, your creations may become flagged as AI in META services (I do not know if this extends elsewhere) and may become tagged as AI even if you don't use any AI features. This is to comply with the new EU law that all AI content needs to be tagged accordingly.
Using an app that uses AI can also flag your content (like Grammarly), so maybe avoid using them.

“Four senior #leaders at #Canva have left the design #software giant this month at a time when the company is undertaking big changes to reposition itself as an #ArtificialIntelligence
platform.
Growth lead Iain Dowling announced his resignation on Monday after eight years in senior positions across the design team. Senior #engineering director Jonathan Ross will leave at the end of this month.
Their departures follow that of head of design Andrew Green, announced days after the company’s giant “Create” conference in Los Angeles unveiled a suite of new #AIFeatures. The company’s chief #technology officer Brendan Humphreys also quit about the same time.”
These redundancies due to growth & priority change while the business market approaches recession.

Graphic design platform Canva has a number of AI tools available to users, but it turns out they have some real strong editorial opinions—including removing the word “Palestine” from designs. The issue was spotted by X user @ros_ie9, who shared an image showing Canva’s “Magic Layers” feature changing the text of a design from “Cats for Palestine” to “Cats for Ukraine.”
Automating erasure.

I'm #hiring again and I really do wish people would look me up more before they applied. I'm not going to be impressed with your #google workplace skills, or your use of #canva, or any #socialmedia app.
If one, just one applicant, mentioned their open source or #selfhosting skills, that would be a ticket to an immediate interview.

A good 70 to 80% of my print clients are now using Canva. Pretty incredible, how far they've come when you think about it.
I often try and talk them into using Affinity instead, but at the end of the day, they don't really need anything more than Canva.
Fair play. It's got all of the settings we need for commercial print. They're happy, we're happy. Job's a good'n 🙌🏻

Affinity by Canva Accessible PDF Output Test v2: The results are nearly identical; the only change I noticed was a regression: The footer text on the master page now appears once at the very bottom of the tag tree instead of being properly artifacted out. michaelhans.com/eclecticism/20…

Canva is seriously considering porting Affinity to Linux - a move that could transform desktop Linux and challenge Adobe.Duncan McLeod (TechCentral)
I'm still very very very suspicious of Canva being a good new owner of Affinity — "Free with no strings" in 2025 just feels like a trap.

Thoughts on Canva AI in Affinity 🧐
Most Affinity users aren't keen on AI. I hear you. But without veering too far into generative territory, some of the Canva add-ons are well worth a look 👀

Affinity by Canva Accessible PDF Output Test: Canva/Affinity is making improvements, but Affinity in its current state is definitely _not_ ready to be a replacement for Adobe InDesign. But I'm happy to see the progress they've made, and really hope they keep improving their accessible output capabilities! michaelhans.com/eclecticism/20…

So basically DO NOT install #Affinity.
#canva filled it with #ai and giving you data away is ON by default. That is the definition of #malware.
Start using / donating to #GIMP, #Inkscape, #Krita, #scribus, even #LibreOffice and #blender3d .

If you signed up for Canva to download the new #Affinity app, go to canva.com, log into your account, navigate to Personal Account > Personal Privacy, and switch everything to off.Merveilles
Initial Thoughts on Affinity by Canva: We'll see how things go over time, but all in all, if not cautiously optimistic, I'm at least cautiously hopeful about the just-announced changes to Affinity. Seeing more improvements in their PDF accessibility tagging is encouraging! michaelhans.com/eclecticism/20…
