A couple years ago YouTube decided to F up their search. It used to be mostly things you are searching for, now it’s:

20% thing you searched for,

20% Shorts,

10% people also watched,

10% related [extremely tangentially]

10% For You

and 30% ads.

I don’t blame anyone for wanting someone to suggest a link after YT’s search became hot garbage.

The other problem with Photoshop is that it now scans your projects.

I use Calc84 on the Google Play store, free with minimal ads and a one-time fee to remove ads.

But it seems like others have found FOSS versions here.

I’ve tried it, albeit several years ago when things were different.

Other people might have the questions that I do, and putting the information in a publicly accessible forum is a good idea to preserve that information.

Okay. What about Linux to iPad? I have a dual boot with Linux set up, and it’s not like Microsoft can read all your files in your computer yet. If you have evidence to the contrary, please let me know.

You can just do that on a Windows PC???

Edit: I thought you could only do it through iTunes on Macs for only extremely limited file types, or through cloud methods.

Is OpenRecall secure as well? One of my biggest problems with MS recall is that it stores all your personal info in plain text.

This is why I don’t use Adobe.

I’m so glad I saw the red flags from earlier and decided to stay far away from anything Adobe.

Anyways, this is the new business tactic. Start stealing confidential information by somehow forcing a new ToS change or update.

I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.

Why is the coins to awards function logarithmic?

From my experience, while LXQt uses ~20-25% less RAM than XFCE, it runs way faster and uses less CPU than XFCE.

Right back at you!

Interesting, I memorize it in these batches:

3.1415 926 535 8979 323 84626 4338 327950 2884 1971 69399 375 1058 2097 4944 5923 078 1640…

I recently took a class on ARM assembly, and yet I don’t even know half of these x86 instructions.

This is one of the areas I see this whole “AI” thing being super useful. It could probably transcribe the video, separate the text into coherent sections and paragraphs, and take stills from the video as pictures. If the AI is smart enough, it could selectively pick out the right stills.

English = green

Math = red

Science = blue

Social studies = yellow

Quick correction: Canva is web based so you can use it on Linux no problem.

For me, the Windows software I use are:

1. Musicbee
2. Davinci Resolve

That’s pretty much it. I could definitely switch to Linux full time, but Musicbee is soooo good that it feels like a sacrifice.

I don’t think Olive is a good alternative to davinci resolve. First, nothing is good if it crashes a lot. Second, Davinci Resolve is feature rich and super powerful, while Olive is not. The closest FOSS alternative is Kdenlive, but I’d recommend finding a distro that can run Davinci itself, as Davinci does have a native Linux client for some distros.

More UI customizations? A few simple settings could go a long way.

It’s hosted on GitHub, but I really want to self host one day.

What other features are missing? I’m still pretty much a beginner so it can be very tricky to implement things.
