  • I’ve been learning DaVinci Resolve. I wouldn’t recommend anything else whether it’s Windows or Linux, but it happens to be natively compatible with Linux.

    Admittedly though i haven’t actually used Premiere because i didn’t make it past the installation process. The only video editor that i’ve spent time in aside from Resolve was Kdenlive, which is clearly not up to par.




  • The stability is one thing, but the list of devices you can install it on is really restrictive. Turns out all alternative mobile OSs are like this, they can’t be installed on just anything - or at least that would require technical work that they (correctly) assume the user won’t do.

    This time around i intentionally bought a phone that’s compatible with Lineage OS, but i’m scared to do it since i can’t re-install the stock Android if i fuck something up



  • Yeah i’ve finished restoring my codes. I didn’t know Aegis had this auto backup feature, seems a bit of a security hazard, but it’s not like the FBI is after me or anything

    2 is where the trouble starts. I haven’t found a way to properly back up my phone because many (most) parts of the folder structure are not accessible to apps. I can backup the contents of the Downloads or Music folders, but that’s not where the notes app stores notes for example, nor is it where the audio recorder app stores recordings. So most of the data that i actually want backed up is inaccessible.

    Google’s backups have also failed me in this case, oddly enough.

    That’s an Android issue, and sadly the alternative mobile OSs aren’t as viable as Linux is to desktops









  • That’s true in most cases, but i’ve had a lot more success posting stuff to my furry-specific Mastodon instance than posting hte same thing to generic Twitter and Bluesky. So there’s something to the ability to have a specific audience.

    But i genuinely have an issue when i go to upvote or reply and it tells me that i’m not logged in, and that’s when i find out that i’ve accidentally left my instance and am not logged in anymore. That kind of thing shouldn’t happen at all, it shouldn’t be this easy to accidentally land in a different instance.



  • According to the article, it’s done for market research, i.e. finding out who buys what, which is a thing businesses like to know. But also apparently it allows the machine to generate “AI-powered product recommendations”, which i guess means it tailors reccomendations to each user? Which it can do because it has a touch screen, and the touch screen itself already strikes me as full of shit.

    That’s what the article says this machine in particular does; but yes, it could totally change the price on you depending on what you look like, and all other kinds of deeply shady things. You can count on a private company to do that kind of thing and then use their favorite argument: it’s technically legal.
