  • are shotcut and kdenlive any good video editors? just curious
  • 8orange8 8orange8 10mo ago 100%

    Personally I think Kdenlive has the most user-friendly interface of any video- editor (pay software included) so I think it's ideal for a newcomer. It's also fairly light on system resource comparatively.

    A few years ago, it used to have a reputation for being a bit buggy but seems to be very stable in my experience these days.

    The main problem would be the lack of guides/tutorials, though there are a few on YouTube.

    Yeah, I had the same problem and the same thing fixed it. Fully log out, then log in. Seems like version 19 Changed authentication or something similar requiring a fresh sign-in.

  • hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

    If you like Tree Style Tabs I'd also recommend trying Sideberry. Does the same thing but has some additional functionality.

  • Can we trust mediaeval copies of ancient books?

    Have you read the article? The author is a scholar who studies the exact "branch of historical science" you are talking about.

    The article shows how this kind of study is carried out.

    Perhaps I should have made that clearer when posting it.

    Humans trod the landscape of North America thousands of years earlier than previously thought, according to new research that confirms the antiquity of fossilized footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico using two further dating approaches.

    Here's the main [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpuV-kpXZRI) if you don't want to read the article. There's actually a surprisingly good basic description of subtractive synthesis(considering how new it was) as well.

    What open source programs do you recommend for Windows? (Windows exclusive or not)

    PhotoDemon is close to what you're asking for. It has the basic functionality the average user needs yet is still lightweight and fast to start.

  • LocalSend cross-platform application for transferring files on local network
  • 8orange8 8orange8 1y ago 100%

    They have different usage scenarios.

    LocalSend is for the occasional sending of files/folders from A to B or B to A (One direction only).

    Syncthing's primary usage is for keeping the exact same copies of files on A and B automatically.

    Not sure what OS you are using but make sure you have write permissions in the folder you've extracted the app to. If you're on Windows you might want to try running it as administrator.

  • BBC starts experimenting with the Fediverse, running its own Mastodon instance
  • 8orange8 8orange8 1y ago 100%

    Yeah definitely. I remember the fake "Detector Vans" designed to frighten people but I suspect going forward with more and more younger people only using Netflix/Amazon Prime etc their attitude will have to change.

    Technically the BBC are not "state-funded" but funded by UK viewers paying for a voluntary licence to watch.

    I would certainly agree though that the UK government's influence in appointing staff in the upper echelons of the organisation (and also general government interference in its day to day running) leaves it open to criticism.

    tbf Estonia is a stable EU country and Sunaurus (the admin of lemm.ee) is from Estonia so it's not that strange

    I'd definitely recommend David Mccullough. He wrote quite a few Biographies of presidents. Truman, John Adams, Theodore Roosevelt etc.

    Glad you managed it eventually.

    It's probably just a bug that needs to be ironed out in the new Lemmy software.

    I also had that problem briefly. Tried it again about 10 mins later and it worked fine.
