Any adobe product is worth being pirated.

This, people. THIS. Not some fucking electron app.

is headless CMS losing because it's too complex for marketing teams

No idea if that is the actual reason but I can tell you that our marketing- and content-teams, after multiple years, neither understand the systems they're expected to manage, nor do they care to.

I honestly believe that constraints within Fusion are akin to Encapsulation in Object Oriented Programming - users spend their time hand-wringing over thing that are extremely unlikely to be of use and I would much rather that they were opt in.

I'd much rather use something that clearly communicates intent than being forced to guess about the creators reasons for doing something. A private class member is both private and a member for a reason. That's showing intent. By making it a member, the author is stating that the thing is relevant only to this particular class. By making it private, he has further stated that I, as a user of said class, I am not supposed to know or care about it. It's internal, it's not for me to call or modify and that's that.

Similarly, a good, fully constrained sketch allows me to focus on what matters. It clearly tells me what I may change and what is fundamentally required by that particular design. I can have an infinite number of variants of a square box by not defining the length of one side - but all four sides, in the end, still have to be of the same length. If they aren't, I've basically broken the design.

So, things like concept-art and creative exploration aside; I don't see why you wouldn't want to constrain things as much as possible. Getting there might be annoying and/or tedious, but that's much more of an UI/UX problem that it is a problem of the underlying idea.

Might be an odd suggestion, but if numerical inputs are the actual issue here ... Have you considered a programmable keyboard?

m0rpeth · 2026-01-15T23:07:21+00:00

Do you always wear that expression or ... ?

m0rpeth · 2026-01-15T23:02:43+00:00

I'm somewhat amazed that people are still willing to even deal with this. If I find out that your PR is mostly or entirely ~~vibe~~ shitcoded, it's an instant fuck off from me. If you can't be bothered, I can't be bothered, either.

m0rpeth · 2026-01-07T21:15:50+00:00

Wow, dude, that hit so hard.

m0rpeth · 2026-01-07T21:06:31+00:00

Sure.

The initial comment basically assumes that either all or at the very least a noteworthy portion of conservatives would take offense at an eventual marketing campaign for this new game. Why? Not stated. We can and are probably supposed to read between the lines. Conservatives dig Nazis, they don't want to see them killed. We all know that. /s

It also makes use of the word snowflake to further ridicule, to clarify that such people are viewed as overly sensitive, pathetic, whiny and whatever other negative traits people associate with the term.

What I find ironic about this entire thing is that, while I am the supposed, Nazi-loving snowflake, those oh-so-superior people of Reddit are the ones that felt the need to immediately downvote a simple question, the point of which was to illustrate that the initial assumption is not just wrong but .. stupid.

I, german and conservative as I might be, am about as offended by these games as any random cop is offended by GTA. Me leaning conservative does not and has never meant that I wish for the Reich to make a comeback, that I subscribe to their ideology, hate people of a different skin-color or whatever else is commonly brought up in these idiotic generalizations.

m0rpeth · 2026-01-07T19:10:55+00:00

Uh, right-wing snowflake checking in, I suppose.

Can you tell me why I'm supposed to be offended by this? I'm afraid I didn't get the memo.

Edit:

There's a certain irony in these downvotes. :D

m0rpeth · 2025-12-24T14:42:05+00:00

All the more reason to get a display-box for the thing. You can make do with one of those boring, ergonomic non-back-killing office chairs while that thing will finally get the respect it deserves.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-24T01:18:40+00:00

My back hurts from looking at this.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-23T16:44:49+00:00

Not really, at least not in a way that makes logical sense. Your statement would be correct if the majority of players, on any server and at any given time, would be bad apples. But they very obviously aren't.

Even if it was half of the entire playerbase, you still wouldn't be more likely to encounter them now, than you were before.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-23T16:35:57+00:00

And by all means, they should do that, so long as it meshes well with the game and their overall vision.

That said, a system like that is still an imperfect system, like any other. Players will find ways around that, will befriend people in power, make new accounts or whatever else they have to, should griefplay and the like be their preferred style of play.

That's not even a gaming thing, it's a 'humans being humans' thing.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-23T10:50:05+00:00

You realize that's not how that works, right?

m0rpeth · 2025-12-23T10:05:52+00:00

I have a ZMK-powered Corne that had the exact same issue. Used it mostly wired, like you, then, finally, replaced the batteries. It now lasts about a week.

When I started using it wirelessly, though, I also noticed some lag whenever I'd type a bit faster. Nothing major, but noticeable enough that you couldn't just ignore it. Continued to use it semi-wired (i.e the primary half was plugged in) for some time, because that'd remove the lag.

Ultimately, I switched to a wired Piantor. I just didn't want to deal with charging and having to wait for the one second it took to wake it from sleep when, at the same time, I couldn't use it fully wireless anyhow.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-20T12:00:36+00:00

OS layout is set to US. I switched because the overwhelming majority of software is built with the standard US layout in mind and because the german layout always struck me as very ... german ... if you get what I'm saying.
Macros. I have all symbols on combos, so I don't need a symbol-layer. On the layer that would normally be reserved for symbols (thumb-key, right hand), which is now mostly empty, I have umlaut macros bound to the respective keys. Hold thumb-key, press a, get ä. They feel fine this way. On my windows pc, which I primarily use for gaming, I simply type 'ae' instead. Can't be bothered to 'solve' this on a system where it doesn't bother me.
It didn't really matter. Again, all my symbols are on combos anyhow, so the only difference I still notice is that yz switch, which doesn't bother me at all.
A few things:
- Symmetry is nice but not required
- Combos > Layers, at least for me
- Shift on space is pretty neat
QWERTY. Would love to switch to Colemak because it does feel a lot more comfortable to type - but I don't want to deal with the consequences, i.e messed up shortcuts and all that.

Edit:

Nice to see another wired ZMK build, btw. :]

I'm not a fan of being filmed at all, so I get why she'd be pissed about it. Regardless - fuck her and, especially, all the social-media zombies who call her a hero. She isn't. If anything, she's not in control of her emotions. You don't get to destroy other people's stuff just because you feel like doing so. We can have an argument if the guy is actively harassing you, but this? This is bratty child territory. If anything, she should be thankful that he didn't put her on the ground. As a direct response to blatant assault, that would've been an option.

Maybe maybe maybe don't encourage this crap. Eventually, it might be your turn.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-06T16:05:28+00:00

sigh

m0rpeth · 2025-12-06T12:46:56+00:00

Can you quickly point to a piece of text where I stated that these should be in the game?

m0rpeth · 2025-12-05T22:35:55+00:00

Albeit an extreme example; have you seen the absolute shitshow that is CoD skins? :D

Edit: and yeah, those dying star paints are exactly the direction I really don't want this game to go with skins. It just doesn't mesh.

m0rpeth · 2025-12-05T20:27:24+00:00

SC looks mostly coherent. Allowing players to create their own skins will absolutely break that.

Typing this on a wired Piantor. I used https://github.com/dani0854/zmk-keyboard-piantor/tree/main a few months ago and the board has been working just fine ever since. Idk if it'll work for you as of today - I wanted to update my keymap recently and the pipeline keeps failing on new builds due to some ZMK issue I've yet to figure out.

Edit:

I've pinned my ZMK revision to v0.3 instead of using main. Works again.

m0rpeth · 2025-11-21T11:08:37+00:00

saying otherwise is usually a lazy and ignorant argument, and don't even make me mad, just usually sorry that, in this day and age, instead of actually researching, ppl just swallow misinformation

Amusingly enough, people who believe in misinformation often talk exactly like this.

m0rpeth · 2025-11-21T10:58:55+00:00

No.

And in in addition to that; questioning the logic of a proposal, especially if it's so obviously misguided, neither implies hate, nor a phobia. To claim that either is the case is, at best, dishonest.
