Yes it’s ToS, and also its structure - it’s basically a non-profit club rather than a for-profit business like GitHub (now owned by M$), which means it isn’t prone to enshittifying.

That spam was a troll who found a loophole in the notification system. It was obviously not a data breach. That’s clear to anyone who’s worked with software databases or web servers.

Me. The work I’m using them for doesn’t need collaboration or sharing. But it’s important to also have collaborative ones up my sleeve.

I’m using formula calculations and visual graphs, so a CLI-managed CSV just won’t work for me.

Those are both great points, thanks for explaining.

Mussolini called it a merger of the corporation and the state, and he’s the guy who started it

That’s not what corporatism is, it’s a different meaning of the word “corporation”.

You’re absolutely correct that fascism is an illiberal capitalist ideology, but Mussolini framed their movement as pro-labour, not pro-capitalist. We must learn to recognize Classical Fascism’s class-collaborationist hypothesis as flawed and pro-capitalist, especially since this rhetoric is often echoed in social democracy.

Why is it wrong to promote the things a shitty person makes?

It’s FOSS, so using it doesn’t give them money. On the other hand, a user might voluntarily donate if they’re unaware.

One might claim they’re being given a platform in the community by people promoting their product, but on the other hand I hear more loudly that they’re toxic, fascist and banned from various places.

Anything else to add?

For what it’s worth, the school computers in my school weren’t running Linux and they had Tuxpaint installed. Even proprietary OS users benefit from FOSS.

Anyone wondering about the grep for balls results around 11:40, it looks like Spotify uses zxcvbn as a password strength checker, which contains some dictionary lists of common words people put in passwords, in order of how common they are.

Hackers will use this as one main technique for password guessing (as opposed to a simple brute force, like “0000”, “0001”, “0002”, … , “9999”, it will probably be faster if we start with “1234”, “1776”, etc.). When I say ‘dictionary’, I don’t just mean English words; the name of zxcvbn itself is an example of a common pattern, one that people think they’re really smart for choosing and super easy to remember and type, but one hackers will obviously be aware of too, just like turning password into P455w0rd1!.

Sure, pity he’s an edgy shit who caters to nazi scum, but I really don’t see how it matters to this situation. Pointing out that Nazis like Linux too is like pointing out Hitler endorsed vegetarianism - that’s not “bad PR” for vegetables, Linux isn’t some corporation paying for celebrity endorsements as a reputation. All that really matters, as far as I see, is that Pew made a large and diverse audience turn their heads away from Windows and Mac towards Linux for half an hour, it’s a rare good thing, and I still don’t like them or really care about them. I’m definitely not going to be sad or think we need to stop this, I’ll just make sure to continue rejecting any reactionary scum who show their faces in the communities.

For quick little clips I sometimes use ffmpeg like that, but if I want to do anything more complicated like optimizing file size (without a known target), I often jump to Handbrake, a graphical interface to FFmpeg.

That script seems pretty neat, I’ll copy it. Gotta love an 8MB copy of Shrek 2.

Same, for quick-and-easy hobby work, it’s a great tool. Sometimes I will be surprised by looking up a video effect and seeing it can be done in kdenlive.

A few years back there was a bug with my set-up where it would crash when moving clips a certain way, but once that was solved, kdenlive has been smooth sailing for me.

Thanks for sharing the channel, I checked one of those tutorials (I can’t watch more rn) and it’s very well made, putting the end result right at the start, bringing up special considerations like watching for lighting changes or cloud movements in background footage.

By the way, what kind of “TikTok effects” are you talking about? Dynamic transitions and shaky-cam effects, or other things too?
