FUCK ADOBE!
While logged into Adobe, with several Adobe programs open, I try to download a stock video from them but no sorcery on earth or the underworld can trigger a download that doesn't ask me for money that's already been paid. It's amazing how many years this has been going on and it's getting worse.
- You already paid for it?monospaced
- The company I work for pays for it. It turned out I was eventually logged in but wasn't able to download that one particular video.CyBrainX
- I'm not even sure what the restriction was. It was a CGI cow on green screen.CyBrainX
- it's 2026 still using Adobe?!grafician
- Until the company I work for stops paying for it I don't even have a choice. I also don't see any viable alternative to After Effects out there.CyBrainX
- u cant use davinci resolve? its freecherub
- Can it import a psd or some king of layered file and make a comp out of it?CyBrainX
- I just took a look, Resolve is a video editor, not an animation tool.CyBrainX

Thinking about the death of an aunt in San Francisco. She was almost 90 years old.
The hospital had a protocol called “comfort”. Basically, it consists of putting the person in a larger room, where they slowly die in front of their family and friends. No water, no food.
When we put some damp cotton swabs on her lips, my aunt grabbed them and squeezed them to get the water out, in obvious desperation...
In my opinion, it was a cruel scene; nothing about that experience was comforting.
Is this a common practice? I would prefer assisted death, but who knows...
This also leads me to question all the bitterness and pointless conflicts in which I sometimes find myself entangled.
At the ends we all vanish like dust.
- I’m so sorry you had to go through this. It’s heartbreaking. Was this different from palliative care?monospaced
- Apparently that was palliative careSalarrue
- I went through similar less than two years ago. This is as close to assistance as they go.monospaced
- Months ago, visiting my mother, The patient in the next bed wasn't progressing well, so before moving her to palliative care, they changed her room...OBBTKN
- and there she came back to life!
She'd listen to something the nurses said. We call the palliative care unit "El secadero."OBBTKN - yeah it's pretty sad to see and go through, a tank full of piranha would be more dignified...or at least quicker_niko

Romania calling
A €1bn (£875m) Dracula-themed park, named Dracula Land, is being planned in Bucharest, Romania, promising a multi-sensory experience rooted in authentic Romanian mythology.
The park will feature six unique areas with 40 attractions, including 'Transylvania', 'Dracula's Castle', 'LondonTown', and 'Port of New Orleans', blending adventure and storytelling. The major development also includes three Dracula-themed hotels with 1,200 rooms, an aqua park, a thermal spa, a racing track, and a 22,500-seat arena for events.
An official opening could occur as early as 2027, with visitors able to use DraculaCoin tokens in both the digital and physical 'metaverse' worlds.

Fever again, stamina at %25, tiiiiiiired, on inhalers, this isn't looking good :'(
By Tuesday, I'm going to the doc... I've had this "flu" for almost three weeks.
- Doc sounds like a plan. Feel better...mort_
- I had a flu turn into pneumonia once, took me out for weeks. Just like you describe. Doc tomorrow is not a bad idea.monNom
- 3 weeks is rough, and a little out of the norm. I hope you feel better soon. FLUIDS!monospaced
- Thanks guys, I woke up sweating like crazy, paracetamol, some dairy and juice... I have broth for later... seems better today!OBBTKN
- Three weeks? jeez. Something serious? See the doc asap. Get well.NBQ00
- I finally had a doctor's appointment today. They took x-rays, and I'm having full blood work tomorrow. I hope it's just an infection :(OBBTKN
- @NBQ, it hasn't been continuous, I've had a few relapses... but in the end they've consumed all my energy.OBBTKN
- Feel. Better, Felix. My wife and I are week 2+ of something very similar.PonyBoy

making beats
so after leaving it dormant for 10 months.. i finally got back to my vibe coding project i teased last year.
basically i pushed it to the point where I realised i had to rebuilt the entire thing.. i had built it using swift and the AVFOUNDATION engine to handle all the audio, but the major limitation was i could ONLY use the default system audio, so couldnt for example set an external core audio interface for input and output..
needless to say that was majorly demoralising as i just spent 3 months fighting chatgpt every step of the way to vibe code.
in the meantime, gpt 5.2 has been released, but more importantly codex.. which i am yet to finish using, but legit seems to be rewriting my entire swift project into C++ one part at a time..
will keep you updated.. but yep.. CODEX at the moment is saving my project.
- did a solid 13 hours on it yesterday. ported ALL of the backend stuff, and now am moving on to the UI.. feels like did 2 months wrestling with gpt in 1 day.autoflavour
- Im in a similar boat - i made a tool for OP-1 sample exporting, and was asked by the community if i can make it so you can choose your audio output but :(mantrakid
- What are you building it in? I was using swift but am rebuilding with JUCE at its core..autoflavour
