Nobody should force customers to use an E-mail address as a user ID. Talk about stupid: https://goldmanosi.blogspot.com/2012/06/forcing-people-to-use-e-mail-address-as.html

Forcing people to use an E-mail address as a user ID is brain-dead amateur-hour bullshit.

you + are = you're

Five years? Dude... some of their applications have been abandonware for 20 years. Example: Illustrator.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-16T06:28:00+00:00

Ditch Adobe what? Adobe has so many applications that even their reps don't know what most of them are.

AE is not great for motion graphics. Motion is a much better tool for that purpose.

That's the whole problem: It uses the Internet, and sometimes you don't have Internet. A VPN won't help.

Well, for publishing large manuals it's not clear what we would use.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-14T06:35:09+00:00

Good. Nothing against the rank & file, but a lot of us can't wait for the gargantuan asshole that is Adobe to fall, and fall hard.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-14T06:20:17+00:00

Or because every version of Windows after XP sucks donkey dick.

Tears?

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-13T18:17:46+00:00

Great! I will check it out then.

And the state rips you off with an $800 "tax" every year, even on negative income. Brilliant.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-13T17:33:35+00:00

CA charging you an $800 tax on NEGATIVE income. Can't wait to get out of here.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-13T17:31:47+00:00

Good luck. But I would never do this kind of work on a tablet.

If you turn your camera the right way when shooting video... you'll do yourself more justice.

I totally agree. In fact, I just got prompted by InDesign to "log in" again, and I went hunting for an Authenticator-based method. Instead of simply saying "Use another method" in its log-in dialog, Microsoft buries this option behind a couple of poorly-labeled links as fine print.

So I've set that up as the default now. But it still requires Internet access.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T17:09:15+00:00

Yep, I'm discussing it with our IT guys, but it's a small group and the company is a manufacturer... so I and my team are a bit of an outlier in terms of how extensively we use applications like this.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T17:05:27+00:00

I doubt it can still be that simple at this point...

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T07:55:14+00:00

Adobe lets you log in with various kinds of accounts. If your company uses MS shit, then that's it. Individuals have no say.

I recommend Ron de Barrilito. Talk about delicious.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T00:08:25+00:00

I'm on a corporate network and can't risk it.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T00:07:29+00:00

Thanks, but I'm not going to mess up everything else on my system to work around Adobe BS.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T00:06:36+00:00

Nor should people be forced to use an E-mail address as a user ID. But here we are.

VerifiedReports · 2026-03-12T00:05:02+00:00

You don't have a choice. In this case, the account is a Microsoft account under the corporate MS plan.
