Just been concerned about blithely being told I'd be falling into economic ruin within 30 days.
Everything's fine now though. This is an exceptional outcome for my needs. I would not have been alone in this regard. Animate is so fully integrated within the animation industry, this would have been a massive job killer. There just aren't other programs anywhere as good for so many of the 2D things it does.
I'm currently in the middle of a html5 animated ad campaign and another producing animated title/lower-3rd/end cards for video using Animate. It's kinda like that all year along side my other design projects.
Adobe's reddit post is actually pretty nice about it all. I feel sorry for the guy who wrote it. He's catching hell in the comments. https://www.reddit.com/r...

Adobe: Just kidding! hehe...heh... unless...?
WTF, I thought they announced that they were indeed removing access.
Adobe is the perfect example of products I was enjoying using and then the great enshittification. I even got to be part of a focus group once and had pizza in their office, had positive feelings about them as a company.

@dad They absolutely did. Those are my screenshots. Yesterday, the letter had a link to a support page that stated in no uncertain terms that, the sky was falling, but you could maybe use some other Adobe skies for some sort of makeshift umbrella. Today, that same link thankfully backtracks like mad.

A black and white photograph of an ornate (but somewhat worn down) movie theater, with "Empire" in script across its marquee, which advertises "Always 3 Great Kung Fu Hits" (in this instance they are "The Master Strikes Back", "Super Dragon", and "Wild Panther", rendered below with some letters missing). A group of mostly Black people walks in front, wearing groovy early-80s fashion.

I think it's a little later than 82. The Master Strikes Back is listed as an 1985 release on hkmdb. And WL Panter might (??) be Wild Panther, which was a 1984 release.
Had I been in NYC in the mid 80s I would have lived in this theater, no doubt.

@ian_whitney You're probably right; I saw it listed as 1982 on Pinterest, I think, and it's not dated at Giannatti's website.

I'd already seen it 2-3 times but it had been awhile. Andrea knew nothing about it and we went in cold. I don't think there's even a title card. She was pretty floored. It's an amazing film.

Learn how to do a respirator seal check, folks
alt text
I'm coming at this from an entire career having to use gas masks as well as from the BLM protests, and I've worked around compounds that can genuinely kill you with <100 PPM so I've had some pretty hardcore training. With all the interest in "gas masks" out there these days I'm really frustrated that 2 very important components to respirator safety aren't being addressed as often as they could be in all the advice, which is why I'm offering it here:
1) Learn how to do a respirator seal check, both positive and negative. Practice doing so quickly. Also, and this comes from experience - unless you genuinely have to run as quickly as you can - taking that moment to do a seal check once you have your respirator on can be a calming and grounding moment to help you keep a clear head in most situations.
and 2) Practice, practice, and practice putting it on. A good way is to wear it around your neck around the house and have a friend or partner shout "gas" at random intervals. You'll be surprised at how much time you can reduce by doing so, which means in a real world situation you'll be available to help others or film or whatever else needs to be doing. (Once you're good at it, this also means that you can have it on you instead of wearing it the whole time you're out there, which can get tiring quickly as well as affect filter and strap life.)
And for some of what they're using out there folks, YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT FILTERS. And let's just say they're starting to use more and more hardcore substances.
Not having a correct seal and/or the right filters will make things WORSE for you by trapping substances/particulates against your skin and inside the mask, causing you to inhale them. (And I hate to say it, but this means that you have to shave, guys. Or else you're just wasting your money.)

I'm a big fan of the 3M secure-click line of respirators. They have a built in negative seal check button, a speaking diaphragm, and the new filters have more airflow.
downside: the new filters are more expensive.
@williwaw, what cartridges do you recommend for what gases? I've seen conflicting information on whether standard organic vapor cartridges will help with the newer gases, or if acid gas carts are required? I may just say 'fuck it' and get cartridges that are good for both.

p.s. guys, if you don't want to shave, you can get a PAPR, but those pretty much start at $500. PAPR mask/helmets can also be easily removed by fasc if you aren't careful, exposing you to the hazard.
@cristin tl;dr: Get ones rated for BOTH OV *and* AG: for 3M - 6003 cart + P100 filter or 60923 combo unit; or rated MG (multigas) - 6006 + P100/60926 combo). For NATO 40 Mill masks - CS/CN/P100 or CRBN (which is overkill but but sometimes easier to find). If it's from a company that has it's own proprietary system, look for a NIOSH certified CBA-RCA cartridge with a P100 filter that filters "certain organic vapors" and acid gases.
Although you would probably be fine in more situations with just a regular OV cartridge (6001/60921 for 3M bayonets) IMHO (and what I do) definitely get cartridges that are rated for both OV and AG (or just MG) for 2 reasons:
1) We've already witnessed the deployment of at least 2 lesser utilized agents, DM and HC gas. We don't know what else they may use.
2) These are *chemical munitions* that are not being used according to code. They're using far more than regulation, and, more importantly, they're MIXING them. That's a big no-no! Current guides by regulatory agencies for respirators are tested and written for singular use. Not only that, those guides are based upon chemicals that have been properly stored, properly deployed, and aren't expired. I don't really trust these goons right now to follow proper procedures for chemicals when they can't even follow the Constitution. I'm sure "safety third!" is their byword if they even consider it all.
Add in different dispersal methodologies, e.g. solution or aerosols, slightly different compositions/brand name types, and even basic environmental factors - like UV light - within that open and quite stochastic system and whew: I could spend a day just doing the simplest organic chem calculations and come up with a variety of chemical reactions. (Frankly, the use of HC gas scares the hell out of me. Carbon-chlorine bonded compounds can be extremely toxic. And they bioaccumulate very fast. The most famous substance in that compound group? DDT.)
So best to protect yourself by going beyond the simple NIOSH sheets. Make sure you also use a P100 particulate filter, either in a combo unit or with an adaptor attachment. I like using the attachment with 3M masks because you can change the filter on the fly without taking your mask off very easily, which is useful with pepper spray.
You'll want more than one if you anticipate more than 30-40 hours out there. If you know people that can use the same ones, go in together to buy in bulk from 3M directly or a distributor like Uline to receive discounts. And keep 'em sealed until you have to use them!
****If you're in a location that gets quite heavy wildfire smoke - and next summer looks like it's going to be very very bad in the North American west - having some multi-gas rated carts on hand can also be very useful as wildfire smoke has all kinds of nasty toxins in it.

me in a gasmask and protective goggles
Finally, FINALLY found protective over-the-glasses goggles that work with a extra wide glasses AND a gasmask.

are they ballistic grade? also are you planning on shaving?
@williwaw I doubt I could take a shot. Also I'll shave when if I get serious.
(if don't already know) be careful out there then if they're using sponge grenades & other non-lethals, which can turn goggles into eye killers
So true.

A sticker on a graffitied electrical box. The sticker has a white background with a red border. It shows a woodcut illustration of Mary (from the bible, not sure how else to explain) in blue with red beams (blood?) coming from her hands, the left side hitting a snake with the word 'I.C.E.' on its body. To Mary's left red letters say "Hail Mary Full of Grace" and on her right "Kick I.C.E. Out of This Place".
