Openshot has a long history. It used to be super buggy in the past, I haven’t tried it recently. But at least is not some new kind of AI slop.

What does he have to gain? Does Spotify pay you if your playlist is successful?

I hope the UK will rejoin the EU soon. Brexit has been a shit show, and most of the people who voted to leave are dead by now anyway.

Amazon is completely useless now. Most of the things they sell are cheap shit from China with a huge markup.

Just go on AliExpress directly and you’ll find the same exact products for half, or even one third, of the price.

And for all other things, try local online shops. There are price aggregator services that help you find online shops for all the stuff you need.

Amazon is useless and they don’t deserve any money.

+1 for Fossify, the developer is a great guy who forked the old and now ad-riddled Simple Gallery

If they shut their big system down, it’s gone.

Not only that, but if they enshittify (and they do it) there’s nothing you can do. Lemmy, by definition, cannot enshittify.

Yes, exactly, it’s truly fucked up. We should put people in prison for traffic violations, because when you drive a vehicle and you don’t follow the rules you risk killing people.

Looking at your phone while driving? Going faster than the speed limit? You may kill somebody.

Syntax highlighting? In this economy?

I can’t wait to buy a video accelerator and hard disks for cheap again. So I can’t wait for the AI bubble to pop. The only problems is that the whole economy will tank at the same time…

Italy has been “blocking” sites by forcing DNS providers to remove them for ages.

And that’s lucky, I’d say, because it’s super easy to circumvent.

And that pic is with the classic (Office 97-style) interface.

You can also switch to a more modern style, called “Notebook bar”, which is similar to the Ribbon interface you can find on Office 2007+.

(Honestly? In my opinion, the classic interface is the best)

Yes, LibreOffice uses its own custom rendering engine and that’s not the most performant…

But you have to understand that before LibreOffice there was OpenOffice.org, which itself comes from an old German application called StarOffice.

And oh boy, StarOffice! It was quite peculiar: it used to render its own desktop environment that took over Windows Explorer, with its own Start menu!

So, let’s all remember that LibreOffice still has that legacy to carry on.

Exactly, they don’t care about users, they just care about money.

Examples? See what they’re doing with Gemini. Even Pro (paying) users will be downgraded to Gemini Flash in less than one month.

Not crash them, but they’ll probably need to make Gmail/Outlook into a paid service in order to cover all the costs.

Google Ads is slowly dying, because people just ask AI instead of searching and navigating websites, and that was Google’s biggest revenue.

Me too. I’m still on macOS 15 because I can’t stand the mess they did with Liquid Ass on macOS 26+.

I’ll just move to Linux Mint in a few months…

It’s like the boiling frog problem

At this point, it doesn’t make any sense to use Reddit at all. Just go to the Lemmy and the fediverse.

Or if you hate yourself, you can also try 9gag, there’s not much difference now between that and Reddit.

Sony wanted to go full digital, so we’re going full digital ;)

Yeah, I’ve recently watched Smarter Every Day’s videos on YouTube about completely building a scrubber in the US. It was almost impossible and in the end he had to build a part in Canada.

I think all the problems he highlights in the videos are the same in Europe. We simply don’t have the tools and the knowledge required to manufacture products anymore.

YES! I want it. A way to get Canada closer to Europe… in preparation for them to join Schengen and the EEA
