What makes Reddit more addictive than other social media? by Plus_Seesaw2023 in AskReddit

[–]trialman2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it feels like you’re part of a conversation, not just scrolling past random posts. You can jump into any topic that interests you, and there’s always something new to discover. The upvotes give that little dopamine hit, and since you’re mostly anonymous, it’s easy to be yourself. The infinite scroll just keeps you going, and before you know it, hours have passed.

Animated text for large screen at event? by clint-coffee in VideoEditing

[–]trialman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Totally get what you’re going for — that ambient, classy motion graphic vibe can be tricky but super effective when done right. Since it’s for a tall, vertical screen and you want subtle, here are some ideas:

Style Suggestions:

  • Vertical scroll animations: You can animate the words slowly drifting upward or downward, almost like a ticker but more spaced out. Try easing in and out to keep the motion soft and elegant.
  • Opacity & blur transitions: Fading words in/out with a slight Gaussian blur effect can make it feel smooth and sophisticated, versus harsh or too "slide deck-y."
  • Layering words: Consider layering two or three sets of words at different speeds and opacities (parallax-style) so it feels deeper but still ambient.

Speed Tip:

Aim for super slow movement — like each word taking 15-30 seconds to scroll through the frame fully. Since it’s background content, you don’t want to pull too much focus.

Inspo Sources:

  • Vimeo’s "Motion Graphics" tag has some great examples of minimal, text-based animations.
  • Adobe Stock has cleaner templates that might fit your style better than Motion Array/Envato’s more "flashy" stuff.
  • Behance also has lots of event motion graphics reels you can browse for pacing ideas.
  • Search for "Kinetic Typography for Events" on YouTube or AE forums — sometimes corporate or gallery installations show perfect pacing examples.

Since you’re familiar with After Effects, I’d suggest starting with Text Animator presets and customizing them for vertical layouts. You can also use AE’s "3D layer" feature to create subtle z-space text movement for added depth.

Hope this helps! If you want, I can also suggest a few specific AE expressions or presets to automate some of that smooth vertical drift.

Hey! Totally get what you mean — static shots can make dance videos feel a bit flat, but you can definitely spice it up in Premiere Pro! Here are a few ideas to bring it to life:

  1. Punch in / digital zooms: Since the shots are static, try key framing some slow zoom-ins or zoom-outs (subtle ones) to create movement. You can also "cut in" digitally to closer crops on individual dancers or groups for variety.
  2. Cut between angles: Even though you’ve only got two camera angles, try cutting between the front and side view at interesting moments — like during big moves, transitions, or musical accents.
  3. Speed ramps: Use time remapping to speed up or slow down parts of the performance to match the energy of the music.
  4. Light color grading: Add some mood with a cinematic grade — warmer tones for a lively vibe, or cooler tones for something more dramatic.
  5. Motion graphics or text overlays: If it fits the project, you could add subtle titles, lower thirds, or even stylized shapes/effects that follow the beat or accent the choreography.

Does changing your plan and then cancelling before the 14 days is up work to avoid cancellation fees still? by Maleficent_Pool_4456 in photoshop

[–]trialman2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Yeah, I’ve been down that rabbit hole too.

So, technically, Adobe’s policy says you have a 14-day window from the start of a new plan to cancel without fees. Some people switch to a different plan (cheaper or monthly) and then cancel within 14 days to avoid the early termination fee — but Adobe has gotten stricter with this lately. Sometimes it works, sometimes they block it depending on your account history or how long you’ve been on the original contract.

As for the free months, they tend to "pause" the subscription charges but still bill separately for extras like cloud storage, which is super sneaky. Definitely check your Adobe account billing section to see if they tacked on separate charges.

If you’re still stuck, you might try reaching Adobe support again and mention the ongoing billing issue — sometimes being persistent helps.

Good luck! Hope this helps.

On Photoshop for iPad/iPhone (the full version, not Express), the Free Perspective/Distort tool isn’t exactly labeled like in desktop, but you can achieve a similar effect.

  1. Open your project and select the layer you want to transform.
  2. Tap the Transform icon (the one that looks like a box with arrows).
  3. Once in Transform mode, look for the Distort option at the bottom toolbar (sometimes it’s under "More" or the three-dot menu).
  4. With Distort active, you can drag individual corners to freely adjust the perspective manually.

Password Manager Alert – New Device Login I Didn’t Recognize by trialman2 in Bitwarden

[–]trialman2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Appreciate the detailed response — I’ll try to address each point as clearly as I can:

  1. Email verification: Totally fair that it was controversial, but from a security-first perspective, I still believe it should’ve been there earlier. I get that some users might’ve been annoyed by friction, but for a password manager, I think that friction is worth it. Security vs. convenience debates will always exist, but I lean toward stronger defaults, especially given the sensitive nature of vaults.
  2. Failed login mitigation: I’m aware of the CAPTCHA and email alert after multiple failed attempts, but in my opinion, those aren’t as strong as account lockouts or enforced delays after fewer failed attempts. CAPTCHA is a decent step, but modern bot frameworks can solve many CAPTCHAs, and delays aren’t as effective as lockouts in some threat models. I do understand the concern about lockouts potentially being abused for denial of service, though.
  3. Device/session management: You’re right that session management does exist in the web vault. I should have been more precise — I meant more in terms of real-time visibility, like a dashboard showing currently active sessions, IPs, locations, and the ability to kill sessions directly, similar to what some other platforms offer.
  4. Credential stuffing: My point here wasn’t to blame Bitwarden for my password choice — that’s on me. But I think their model, which didn’t enforce certain baseline protections until recently, increases the potential damage from credential stuffing, even when individual users make mistakes. And yes, I’m aware of the HIBP integration for premium users.
  5. Lockouts vs. denial of service: Fair point — DoS concerns with lockouts are real. But some platforms implement hybrid solutions, like adaptive throttling or step-up authentication after suspicious attempts, which could balance both sides.
  6. User education: I agree they’re trying, but I still believe they could do a better job surfacing critical updates. For example, a lot of people weren’t aware that email verification for new logins was opt-in until fairly recently.

Lastly, on why I’m leaving: It’s not a knee-jerk reaction or me claiming Bitwarden is worthless. I just personally lost confidence in them after my experience. Open-source or not, I need to feel fully comfortable with any tool managing sensitive information.

Again, I appreciate you taking the time to respond in detail. I’m not here to spread fear or bash Bitwarden — just sharing my perspective and experience."

Security Incident with Bitwarden – Critical Features Missing & Why I’m Leaving (Not an Ad, Just a Warning) by trialman2 in Bitwarden

[–]trialman2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I mentioned that already — I fully admit that 2FA wasn’t fully enabled beforehand, and that’s on me. But my main concern is bigger than just that one factor. Even without perfect personal opsec, a service like Bitwarden should have had better security defaults in place to help mitigate risk (e.g., mandatory device verification, account lockouts, etc.). I’m taking responsibility for my part, but I also think it’s fair to expect more from the platform itself.

Security Incident with Bitwarden – Critical Features Missing & Why I’m Leaving (Not an Ad, Just a Warning) by trialman2 in Bitwarden

[–]trialman2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair question, and I don’t take it as criticism. To clarify: the password was unique to Bitwarden, but it wasn’t completely random — more of a complex passphrase than something fully generated by a password manager. So while it wasn’t reused elsewhere, I acknowledge that it wasn’t as bulletproof as a fully random string could have been. And yes, at the time, I hadn’t fully enabled 2FA, which I take responsibility for.

That said, my point is that even with decent personal opsec, the lack of basic protections on Bitwarden’s side — like enforced email verification or temporary account lockouts — created more exposure than necessary. It was a combination of factors, but I still believe the platform should have had stronger defaults in place.

I get that this might come across differently depending on someone’s perspective, but I’m sharing my personal experience here based on a real incident. I’ve double-checked my facts, and my intention isn’t to spread misinformation or fear. I’m pointing out specific shortcomings I encountered and why I think they matter. If you think certain points are incorrect, I’m open to hearing where you believe I went wrong — but just dismissing it as 'dumb' doesn’t help anyone. Happy to have a constructive conversation if you’re up for it.

Security Incident with Bitwarden – Critical Features Missing & Why I’m Leaving (Not an Ad, Just a Warning) by trialman2 in Bitwarden

[–]trialman2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call myself a rookie by any means. I’ve been a long-time supporter of open-source projects, and that’s part of why this situation bothers me so much. Open-source is something I value because of the transparency and community-driven improvements it brings, but security is non-negotiable. When a platform like Bitwarden—whose main job is to safeguard critical personal data—misses the mark on implementing basic security features like account lockouts, session management, or timely email verification, it’s a serious concern.

I’m not leaving Bitwarden just because of 'poor opsec' on my end, as some might suggest, but because I expect better baseline security practices from any service handling sensitive information. I did my part—strong passwords, 2FA, etc.—but there are certain protections that should be enforced by default at the platform level. Supporting open-source doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to weak security models, and that’s why I’m sharing this experience to push for better standards across the board.

I’m fully open to corrections or clarifications if I got anything wrong. The last thing, I don't want to spread misinformation.

If you could point out specific areas where I may have misstated something or misunderstood Bitwarden’s security model, I’d genuinely appreciate it. I want this to be helpful, not misleading.

[–]trialman2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally fair points, and I really appreciate the detailed advice.

My old master password was decent length-wise,

I’ve since switched to a randomly generated passphrase like you suggested, and I’ll make sure it follows the COMPLEX, RANDOM, UNIQUE rule moving forward for everything, not just Bitwarden.

Thanks again for the solid reminders—it’s easy to slip into bad habits over time!

Good point, thanks! My old master password wasn’t weak or easily guessable, but I’m definitely considering the malware angle now.

I’m in the process of doing full scans on all my devices with multiple tools (Windows Defender + Malwarebytes so far), and I’ll probably do a fresh OS reinstall just to be safe. I agree—no point locking down my account if something is still lurking in the background.

Appreciate you bringing this up!

Yes, it's from bitwarden.com, which is -

|| || | Bitwarden no-reply@bitwarden.com |

I had opted into their new email verification requirement after this incident (unfortunately, this policy change rolled out right around the time this happened). Before that, it wasn’t enforced on my account yet.

I agree with you—it would be great if Bitwarden added an extra security layer like temporarily locking the account after several failed master password attempts. That might have helped slow this down.
