Adobe Is Ruthlessly Killing Off Software That Animators Around The World Are Using Every Day
On a page morbidly-titled "End of Life FAQ", the company writes:
Adobe Animate will no longer be available to download for new customers, beginning March 1, 2026. Enterprise customers can access the application, download their content, and receive technical support until March 1, 2029. For all other customers, technical support, application access, and the ability to download content will be available until March 1, 2027.

Hello brains trust!
My fairy wand as the Wattle Fairy Godmother is more of a walking stick. It is both cute and badass! Don't mess with fairies with big wands! hehehe!
For seven years the ceramic bird glued to the top has held steady. Last year it came off. I asked people what to use in order to re-attach it. A particular glue was suggested as being extra tough. It was a two-step thingo. It lasted one day at the festival for which I needed it, but by late afternoon, someone pointed out that my bird was hanging by a gooey thread. So, I removed her before she could fall off and possibly break.
Does anyone here have any ideas how I can attach a ceramic bird to a rubber cap on a wooden staff?

Would be great if some anti hack/malware companies offered free options for FOSS developers. Or maybe they already provide and I'm not aware about it.
