  • Kdenlive is excellent. Probably top of the line in terms of features when it comes to FOSS and just works unlike the probably-better-in-theory freeware alternative on Linux, DaVinci Resolve.

    I recently tried iMovie on the Mac to see how it is, just wanted to cut a clip out of a YouTube video I downloaded, and while its interface is much more well integrated, it completely froze during import of the video (I think it tried to transcode it in the background and ended up swapping hard because believe it or not Apple, there actually are workloads you need a lot of RAM for). Kdenlive didn’t struggle at all on the same machine.







  • Their stated reasoning here sounds bullshit and I’m sure the actual reason is a technical one, where they’re trying to retrofit the MS accounts login system to a protocol that wasn’t designed for it and for some reason are refusing to extend the RDP protocol to support the new auth mechanism. SMB network shares probably have the same issue I’d assume.

    I’m sure AD domains don’t have this problem since it uses Kerberos, otherwise this would have been a problem already decades ago.

    Using the password for a public account for local login is a disaster anyway, they should have done it like Apple and kept the local login password separate from the MS account login. I have never used a MS account for local login but it sounds to me like it just leads to people using insecure passwords for publicly reachable accounts because they don’t want to type a long password every time logging into their computer.









  • Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn’t have this problem (especially if it’s the default install directory).

    (The error code 0xc0000096 (Privileged instruction) also doesn’t indicate this at all but hey, there’s been weirder cases of errors caused by completely unrelated seeming conditions.)





  • Came out to long time friend couple days ago. Turns out he’s queer too which I absolutely didn’t expect.

    I don’t want to say I have found a new name yet but I have pretty much found one.

    2 months on HRT and my hair has just visibly started regrowing. Crazy honestly. Still needs a while before it stops being sucky though.

    Getting better at trans voice, I can get something down pretty consistently now even though the way it sounds is still questionable (though that might be because it’s really hard to tell with my own voice, getting feedback from someone in a bit).

    So yeah pretty great I’d say. At least in terms of transitioning.
