Well that's a game changer, because I've been using ffmpeg directly to trim the files and it's very clunky by comparison.
On this public News Brief, we are joined by author and historian Jeff Schuhrke to discuss labor's response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the history of union support for (and opposition to) U.S.-le
3°C jump in 2023; emissions budget shrinking fast…
Unequal epidemics, biotech in Africa, capitalist greed, climate history, fracking…
"That's one of the tricks that the dollar stores play on people, is that they actually are getting poor value and usually paying more in a per ounce or per pound basis."
"A good practice for the press would be to explain to their readers and to their viewers that what is coming from the right is totally false, that they are creating these conspiracy theories and this theory of politicized persecution for their own benefit."
Attacked in the field, in the office, and at home, Israel's war on Gaza has killed more journalists than any other conflict on record.
Yep, though the dpkg ecosystem also had more inertia than the rpm ecosystem did. Before Flatpak existed, pretty much everything that was packaged for Linux had a .deb file for it, but the same wasn't true for rpm. So people who didn't want to package shit themselves flocked to the Debian-based ecosystem. But these days we have Flatpaks and everything moved to the browser, so it doesn't matter as much as it used to.
I put my tech illiterates on Fedora with GNOME without issue. If you're the one doing the installation and can install the RPMFusion stuff like drivers and codecs then yeah it's pretty smooth sailing.
Socialists care about this stuff too and it's from a socialist magazine, though I do agree that it would make for a good crosspost to neurodivergent communities if you want to do that.
Police in Minnesota are buying and flying more drones than ever before, according to an annual report recently released by the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). Minnesotan law enforcement flew their drones without a warrant 4,326 times in 2023, racking up a state-wide expense of over $....
In the last four years, state legislatures in at least 28 states have taken up proposals to roll back child labor protections; 12 states have passed such laws.
Atlanta’s Democratic leadership is trying to build a massive police urban-warfare training facility before the public can stop it. The outcome will set a precedent for the political future, with implications well beyond the city itself.
This week, the NLRB handed down its first Cemex order against Station Casinos in Las Vegas, which engaged in heavy-handed union busting before workers lost a vote to unionize. The ruling may force the casino chain to bargain with the union anyway.
Contrary to critics' focus on gender, the film's central premise functions as a metaphor for neurodivergence in general and autism in particular.
LibreELEC with a FLIRC dongle and a cheapo infrared remote. If you have any bluetooth console controllers laying around, you can use those too so long as they have good Linux support. There's Kodi addons for popular streaming services and LibreELEC also offers an SFTP addon in case you want a local media server setup instead.
How many of these corporations have been giving money to anti-LBGTQ+ politicians while donning the rainbow?
"Susan Rice examines U.S. foreign policy strategy with The Post's David Ignatius," read the title of a 2016 Washington Post Live conversation. "Key player in war on climate change? The Pentagon," CNN
Columbia University’s task force on antisemitism revealed its plans not in a communiqué to faculty and students, but in a planted Israeli newspaper article.
From the jump, the lawsuit challenging the legality of mifepristone was a cynical endeavor. In a 9-0 opinion, the Supreme Court threw it out.
With two months to go before Venezuelan elections, Western outlets are busy crafting familiar narratives, and leading the charge is the New York Times.
As the world watched on social media and responded in outrage, US corporate media, once again, provided cover for the perpetrators of Israel’s genocide.
Firefox has been great since Quantum released. They finally fixed the performance issues and it's still more flexible in what it can do than the Chromium browsers.
Queer folks and leftists tend to be aware of this guy on the one hand
Guess who the CurrentAffairs demographic is. :D
Literally a magazine for internet socialists, who absolutely know who this guy is, especially if they've been reading it for awhile. Your average Joe Schmoe doesn't know what CurrentAffairs magazine is. More people know who lobster man is, honestly.
Also be sure to check out Alan MacLeod's update for the internet era. It's a short and easy read.
Marx is being juxtaposed here because the article the author is addressing did that; he's not equating the two, nor is he trying to legitimize lobster man (the dude's already gotten on mainstream platforms and has a fuckton of fans---that ship has sailed). The CurrentAffairs audience is expected to already be familiar with this guy on account of the fact that it's a niche libertarian socialist magazine that writes critical pieces about him every so often. The author agrees that he's a charlatan and intellectual fraud that peddles reactionary bullshit to depressed young men.
If you want to do a deeper dive into why lobster man sucks (or share other pieces that do), then that would be a good contribution to the comments section here. Or post it to the beehive, provided that it's socialist critique. Either would be welcome.
Is it though? The entire piece is taking a swing at his "put your life in order before criticizing" shit him and his fans do in the political arena. I don't see the article speaking positively of him.
The tech subs that I'm subbed to on that instance have seemed fine. Is it specific communities where this is occurring?
Steam with Proton works OOTB for me if you enable the option in the system config.
Not a video, but I always use this EFF article to introduce the concept.
Lemmy's interop with the microblogging portion of the Fediverse (which is by far the largest part) sucks. You can't follow users, so there's no way to pull in content from there and there's no hashtag support built in for posts, so Lemmy posts don't get to take advantage of the discoverability features on the microblogging side. Beehaw in particular is picky with whom they federate, but it shouldn't matter since there's plenty of microblogging instances that share their ethos. I was already a Mastodon user for a few years prior to any of the exoduses and it bummed me out that you guys didn't get to experience Fedi in its full glory because of these limitations. Hopefully the next platform that Beehaw migrates to will be better about this.
I'd say that the Indie game experience can still match that. Doesn't have to be old titles.
I would say that the decentralized nature of the platform means that the demographics that don't get along don't have to share the same space. Reddit is full of communities that fucking hate each other and the centralized nature of the site means that those userbases have to occupy a lot of the same subreddits; those users have a low barrier to entry to go troll each other and pick fights. In the Fediverse, these communities are separate instances and will just defederate from each other, putting an end to it. Instead, like-minded communities and instances can congregate together. The federation model also provides incentive for users to behave, since instances can be cut off from everyone else if they're deemed too toxic/annoying.
Now this looks like an interesting option. I'll be checking it out over the next few days. Thanks!
I too have noticed a number of minor behavioral differences that I've found annoying, but it is what it is. This was the closest I could find to an active fork of Cantata, but nothing has been released at this time, though the dev has expressed interest in a Qt6 port.
