It always seems that Adobe outright resents their users.

Welp, there goes my productivity for the next week

New comment by neonmagenta in "Apple introduces new AirTag with longer range and improved findability"

neonmagenta — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:58:47 +0000

Airtags use Find My as well once you're out of bluetooth range. The tag offers more precision once you get into range, down to inches supposedly whereas Find My is more of a general 30 ft radius

Have we successfully ported Doom to a beeper yet?

For X, it's people and bots using chatgpt grasping for a piece of the payout pie using "reply guy" and engagement bait tactics for sure. There's nothing really happening on there, just a race to see who can rack up the most likes and replies to get a check.

so more of a 'bad storm here and there' level?

New comment by neonmagenta in "We put Claude Code in Rollercoaster Tycoon"

neonmagenta — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:10:41 +0000

But will Claude pick up complaining guests and put them in a tiny isolated section of the park that only has a bathroom that charges $10 to use?

New comment by neonmagenta in "STFU"

Yea it can basically short circuit your thinking when trying to talk, BUT oddly enough it helps with stuttering with a short enough interval. There's in-ear attachments people can use that do this exact thing and it helps reduce the amount of stuttering and the brain getting stuck on a sound. My brother uses one, its crazy how it works

When I used to play, Bandcamp was always the most band/creator-friendly platform

Value your time, or others won't.

Exactly. Branding and UX are breaking out of the box for guidelines in the successful platforms. You want to be able to pick up any device and have the user know exactly what theyre doing

New comment by neonmagenta in "Resistance training load does not determine hypertrophy"

neonmagenta — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 20:43:39 +0000

That's why I always get as close as I can until I feel my form suffer, then stop that set. I've hurt my neck a few times, and it's always been from "oh i can push ONE more..." then suffer for it. It's never been worth 100% optimized gains. A few people I know did the same with deadlifts and paid for it, right now one's awaiting back surgery that's basically cost her all her savings.

It wouldn't be as bad if everyone wasn't trying to turn into a business microinfluencer with constantly upbeat posts not really adding anything of value and "What I messy divorce taught me about B2B synergy"

neonmagenta — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 05:16:52 +0000

this is something web and mobile devs can skip a lot of times it seems these days. testing on only the best screens or most recent device simulators and they leave their work looking like a mess across screens because its optimized for something specific rather than checking or being responsive

what you chose was 100% wayy too good to pass up, that wouldve been the first thing pun-lovers pointed out if you chose anything else. because ITS RIGHT THERE

Having spent some time in post-production, this reads more like a “please don’t get us sued”

New comment by neonmagenta in "Why "AI content = Bad" is a flawed mindset"

neonmagenta — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 17:15:05 +0000

Can absolutely be a great tool in addition to one's skills, it's when people solely use it at a crutch and dont do any due diligence is where it can be a mess. Friend of mine's son is in college for computer science and he's been skirting by having AI doing all his heavy lifting without actually understanding what he's doing and how the code works. Then when he landed a solid internship, he started spiraling because he didn't know how to do any of the tasks.
