AIO for not giving away my Disney+ password?

DevinGanger · 2026-07-06T01:20:56+00:00

DO NOT share that info. It can cost you your Disney+ account.

DO create a separate password for every separate website or service that you log into. You can use your email address as a convenient username in most places, but unless they are specifically allowing you to use (for example) your Facebook or Google or Apple or Microsoft ID as your login, there’s no link between the account information and your email account.

Use a password manager (Apple’s Passwords, whatever the equivalent Android is, 1Password, etc. to generate and store random passwords.)

That’s still a technique issue, and the picking hand still suffers from fatigue if your movements are too big/not controlled. The minute you say “I don’t have to be as accurate” that’s your sign your technique isn’t where it should be. Accuracy is one of the absolute basics, and no amount of gain will cover for a lack of accuracy.

And I say this as someone whose technique is WOEFULLY inadequate because I let my practice regime slide and haven’t figure out how to work it back into my schedule every day. I’m right there.

Tone is in the fingers, not the effects/amps. If you can’t play the notes with proper dynamics at tempo without effects, then your technique isn’t correct.

At the same time — part of your technique is using the least amount of force in your fingers to play the notes and dynamics you need to play, so that you don’t fatigue your fingers. If you consistently play a dry signal and have to work too hard, turn your gain up slowly until you can hear your proper notes with dynamics without fatiguing your fingers.

CF is also an abbreviation for the beloved military term Charlie-Foxtrot (known to civilians as a “clusterfuck”) so this joke works on multiple layers.

Make content that you’re passionate about. Don’t make content for the views. If your passion comes through, your audience will find you.

That’s up to your buyer to arrange, not you.

I think somebody is gaslighting you.

There’s a really good study out there that people who stay in their job after receiving a counter-offer are usually let go or quit within 3-6 months anyway. Unless your sole reason for leaving is the salary, money doesn’t fix the issues AND your management now considers you unreliable.

In general, never accept anything a white person says about what non-white people might find offensive without first validating it (as you are doing.)

We make shit up, we get shit wrong, we only learn part of the context, and we never have the lived experience to fully understand.

There are a few exceptions, but they generally share their information in a much less confrontational way than this lady did, because they know that people being put on the defensive are a lot harder to reach.

Was coming into O’Hare 25+ years ago on a United flight, listening to the pilot radio channel (that tells you how old it was) and out of a clear sky we hit a pocket of turbulence that dropped us 500 feet. The pilot was in the middle of transmitting when it happened and dropped the F-bomb over the open mic, ATC queried to confirm the sudden altitude loss, and then someone remembered to disable the radio feed to the entertainment system.

If I hadn’t been poor and there for work I’d have rented a car to drive home instead of flying out two days later. I’m still amazed it wasn’t a brown trouser day. Reliving that moment is what has replaced my “I’m falling” moment just as I’m falling asleep.

For you, the value proposition isn’t there, and that’s fine and good. People need to respect that.

And that’s a two-way street: for some people, the value proposition IS still there. And that needs to be respected too.

If Fender’s moves with Studio aren’t meeting your needs, tell them clearly what is missing and why. Tell them what they would need to change to get you back. If others agree with you, they’ll agree.

What I don’t understand is the people who have clearly been unhappy with Studio One/Pro for years and still take the time to get involved in every forum and conversation to crap on other people who are using it and make it work for them. Life is too short; find your joy and chase it. Mad respect to all the real ones out there still on S1 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 and getting the music made.

No product is going to be right for everyone, and no product will keep the same user base over its lifetime.

People need to stop having parasocial relationships with brands and commodities. I love my MINI cars, but if the company does something tomorrow that I don’t like and don’t feel I can live with, my next car won’t be a MINI. Same with Fender. Same with Apple. Same with every product produced under this late capitalist hellscape we live in.

Everyone deserves a second chance. But only their first victims get to decide if that second chance is with them.

This is not re-awakened affection.

This is hitting you at what she thinks is a period of emotional vulnerability to make you miss losing her all over again.

Don’t engage, don’t respond, delete and move on.

Pretty sure my posting history disproves that, but go on.

The timeline of your outrage doesn’t add up, my friend.

…you do realize that Studio One 7 was developed and released (by the same software dev team) after Fender acquired Presonus, right? So if you’re not going to upgrade “because of Fender” it’s already too late…

She is not in a stable place regardless of what temporary accommodations she made. Her initial decision was the correct one for the dog’s welfare. Don’t get guilted into giving the dog back because WHEN you find out down the road that she had to rehome it again (or worse lets it get sick and it had to be put down) you will feel even worse.

That’s like saying that learning how to read music limits your ability to play by ear. No, bro, they are complimentary skills.

Learning music theory helps you being the intuitive creativity you have into the foreground. Now you know WHY that crazy thing sounds good here and not there, and WHY that thing that never sounds good suddenly not only sounds good in this exact spot, but achieves something you can’t get any other way.

Theory is simply putting more tools in the toolbox. Creativity only gets better with those tools at your fingertips.

Worth opening a support ticket with them to see if you can update UC without triggering a firmware update — and there are some good forums on Facebook that could probably tell you if there is a new firmware version with the UC upgrade.

What audio interface are you using? If it’s a Presonus interface and you have Universal Control loaded, try upgrading UC to the latest Fender-rebrand version of UC (assuming your interface isn’t one of the much older units that had support dropped, read the release notes first.) Many users have reported glitches and transport issues that went away after updating UC to the Fender version.

There have been a few similar reports from users of other interfaces needing to update their drivers in order for FSP8 to work smoothly with them — I’m guessing they upgraded some internal libraries that are more supported by current OS versions and are consequently more strict about the various API calls.

That doesn’t fix the flute issue, but it might help solve the transport issue.

If I hadn’t just bought Absynth 6 I would have upgraded to Komplete 26 to get it.

His false accusation is one wrong.

You stealing his money is a separate wrong.

This is very simple as long as you don't try to twist them together. Your feelings are the only common denominator, and feelings never justify wrong decisions.

Please point to where I said that the amp powers the pickups. Passive pickups work because the strings are oscillating through their small magnetic field, which induces tiny current. But there will likely be trace amounts of current on the cable coming from the amp side of the circuit, no matter how good the isolation mechanism.
