ShotCut Enjoyer vs Average OpenShot Goblin

But yeah seriously I found it to be the better and more intuitive tool to use.

Does this possibly mean the end of x86 or will it be a coexisting scenario?

I still believe that as much as some people bark on about, X86 will not die for a long time, it will still keep kicking for some time.

What is your favourite sauce of the big three :

Ketchup - Arguably the most widespread and common sauce used for flavouring your burgers, BBQ and other dishes. Can be considered the normie basic-guy option from others opinions.

Mustard - The yin to Ketchups yang, also widespread in dishes previously mentioned in Ketchup section, either exclusively used or paired with Ketchup combining the flavouring.

Brown Sauce - HP, Daddies etc this sauce is pretty popular in the UK (Where I live) and goes great on chips/fries and prior dish mentioning.

It is also a cardinal rule to be put into bacon sandwiches among the brown sauce community.

What is your favourite sauce to use?

Average vs Fame (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

What life would you prefer leading, an average but quiet and peaceful life? Or a famous life where you have glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.

I'm not sure about you but I'd prefer an average life of content and comfort knowing that while money is good, it's not everything.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hear me out, the big players in the Linux space I.e. Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE could release trailers commercially on TV and social media to general users who may not be tech savvy or have a "basic windows" lingo in IT.

I know what you'll say "Granny smith and Dave the accountant aren't gonna care". That's fair but the adverts could outright say about how MS is a nortorious privacy invader and that you and your family could save spending more money on a supported Win 11 laptpp by just upgrading to Ubuntu or Linux Mint on one you already own with carefully simple instructions.

I understand that they use YouTube, I'm just talking about more traditional sorts of advertising, these firms are pretty big in the enterprise server space and considering they offer desktop versions of their respective distros, you'd think they would try cater to that market as well.

TLDR : Big corpo has money, advertise their distro, make them a better alternative.

Ever since I got my Michael Jackson Thriller CD, I've been thinking, I have started to prefer physical releases more when it comes to films and music, because it's nice to have something you own in your hands, lend to a neighbour, and rip to your devices.

With streaming, I've cut off some services as I got tieed with the price hikes and removals of specific titles, sure, your music might be lost if you lose your phone and you can just resign in with your account on say, Spotify.

But even those have issues where they can remove the track, with CDs and Blu Ray, it ain't going away if you keep looking after it.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you big into streaming due to convenience, or do you go physical? Or maybe a bit of both?

Let me know in yer comments!

What game would you create if you had the skills and experience of a veteran game dev? I.e. John Carmack

I would create a boxing game where you play as different fighters that look like the national animal of the country they're from I.e. Germanys eagle and British lion.

(So basically, Furry Fight Night(

It'd be similar to that PS3/X360 game Facebreaker

If you had such skills and know how, what game would you create? Let me know!

I did hear that they're killing off hyper threading which is a bummer but I guess those P cores would make up for it.

I've been getting back into the CPU limelight after a few years of burnout from too much info and life goals.

This new fancy E core stuff kids talk about sure looks interesting and I see the new Xeon has butt load of cores which some interesting technologies!

However there is one thing that still itches me brain, these CPUs seem to be marketed for data centres a lot about rack density?

If I'm right in ELI5, that just means less servers with better performance overall right?

I only quiz about their advertisement for data centres since you often seen a lot of prior gen Xeons in servers, heck the school I worked for in the past had a decent end of these processors for VM use.

Am I right in thinking THESE new fancy Xeons are "data centre" only versions?

Forgive me for my ignorance on this subject.

Team Fortress 2 (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Team Fortress 2 is such a great game that I never get bored of, everything from the sound to characters to the gameplay.

What are your favourite classes to play as? Mine would be :

  1. Engineer
  2. Medic
  3. Soldier

I find Engineer to be fun and at times a cozy experience, let your gun do the shooting and grab a beer.

Medic is awesome cos of the potential to save team mates and make grand changes in the match with overcharge.

Soldier is great cos it reminds me of Quake with all the rocket jumping and blowing up enemies into mushy red gibs. Especially with The Original.

I sure hope Valve listens to the FixTF2 bandwagon because boy oh boy Casual looking a dead horse for these last few years.

After catching up to this newfangled recall controversy, it's some pretty harrowing stuff that makes me NOT wanna go from Windows 10 at all.

So the big question is, will this be the nail in the bill gates coffin of people adopting mainstream distros of Linux like Mint and Ubuntu? It might not jive with the "normie" folks who just use it for browsing etc, but more online orientated people like you and I.

I am surprised with this security worry hasn't made people advertise Linux more publicly to the mainstream.

And lastly, MS surely is going to backstop on this right? Between the Xbox fiasco and this, its just damaging their PR optics even further.

What do you think? Will it actually push the Linux train wagon? Will Microsoft just continue this fat mess anyway?

Nah, he's a pretty chill cat and from observing, is open to strangers. I live in a cul de sac area and the neighbours sometimes along the way take a bit of time petting him.

He's one smooth cat I tell you.

I am probably going to get hate for this, but I don't think too highly of this console.

Sure, some of the games at the time were astonishing and well regarded classics, but man oh man do I dislike the controller, it just feels so... alien to hold you know?

Another thing too, the cartridge format whilst snappy, suffered from making too many cutbacks compared to the disc format of PS1 and Saturn which gave you pretty much the full scoop.

I am sure Nintnedo had their reasons at the time, but to me it was almost like it was a death by a thousand cuts scenario, a really powerful machine let down by not using what is literally the next gen medium at the time.

Let me know your thoughts, it is fine to disagree as the console is well respected with both nostalgia and entertainment, I'm just an outlier here.

He is a good lad, top class kitty with a penchant for chicken.

Waltzed in here and sat down there where you see in the picture, thought I should snap a photo of this whiskered gentleman.

The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don't want is amazing.

I can stress enough that my experience with Linux has been resoundingly positive, it's almost like that finnish bill gates guy made a golden goose of an OS.

Ever since I upgraded my WiFi to pcie and moved to Fedora, it has been nothing but smooth sailing.

• AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

•Customize Fedora to my liking, made it more like windows with the extensions provided

• What's this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!

• The mascot of Linux? 10/10 and penguins are one of my 2nd favourite animals

How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?

Let me know!

Tying a tie for meetings, interviews etc.

I've always had issues trying to do myself from "my angle" if you know what I mean, I've always worn light blue or grayish dress shirts without the tie to interviews, or I'd just leave the tie spaced out so I can shrink it again when I got around my neck.

Still trying to get the hang of it!

The DLC I'll admit is what they are jokingly known for but someone could "find some treasure" can avoid that. But good answer nonetheless!

I am a chad htop enjoyer, I find btop and other alternatives too much on the eyes for me personally and HTOP has enough info for me to take a look at in terms of system resources.

Either that or I just use the regular gnome GUI system monitor lol

That is fair, but personally I felt WMR is a niche feature and those with VRs can game using Steam or other vr application alternatives.

I understand that there are people that wanna use this so I get its stupid they're pulling away a feature that you actually need.

The two apps I've mentioned are exclusively messenger apps. Think of Facebooks messenger but more secure with no big company servers looking at your chat and messages.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is true, FB messenger is as open as it will get with seeing your messages, WhatsApp is dubious too so either Signal or Session are best e2e messenger apps imo.

Linux Mint Cinnamon, it just works without any extra faffing about. Been using it for my course for nearly 2 years without any problems!
