RiderExMachina,

I used to have a custom ROM that would allow me to change the color based on which app had the most recent notification: FB was Blue, SMS was Green. Let me be prepared ahead of time if it was going to be important or not.

RiderExMachina,

This is why routine Preventative Maintenance is important. My job strives for World Class Manufacturing, so I hear all the manufacturing buzzwords all day everyday.

RiderExMachina,

If they are 12 hour shifts, so that the people can head home at 5 with everyone else. If they are 8 hour shifts, usually for the later shifts to have an okay life balance: 5-2 for day shift, 2-11 for second shift, and a third shift option that overlaps.

Even though I’m a night person, 5 is a common time to wake up for enough people who presumably want to be productive, and the benefit of getting off work before the school day ends has to be enticing. And on the second shift side of things, they get to have lunch with loved ones before going to work, and 11 is early enough that they could potentially go out for drinks or other fun before bed.

It’s also nice that for either shift, the person has time to run errands at a time when most stores are open and activity levels are low.

RiderExMachina,

So this is what they mean by “Dark Vision”

RiderExMachina,

One of my friends and I end up troubleshooting for an hour before we can actually start playing games. Every single time. Linux just doesn’t want us to play games together, I guess.

He tripped in front of the chickens while gathering their eggs, destroying all their hard work, and now they look at him in disgust and disappointment.

And that’s why you never keep all your eggs in one basket.

RiderExMachina,

it’s clicking non-stop Time for a new HDD, friend. Preferably an SSD

RiderExMachina,

What’s your degree in?

RiderExMachina,

I’d recommend finding some FOSS projects to contribute to so that you can stay sharp and also add stuff to your resume. Plenty out there that needs worked on, and not all of it can be done by people working full time at another job.

RiderExMachina,

You might have been thinking Steam gaming. Mac was at ~5% and has dropped to ~2%

RiderExMachina,

If you take out the star, there are only two lines; one connected by the upper two circles, and one connecting the “dog nose” on the right to the lower bouncing circle.

I feel like breaking my windows install was a rite of passage

Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought....

RiderExMachina,

Linux is great about providing that feeling of discovery. New tools, new processes, new paradigm… It’s the best way to breathe new life into an old piece of hardware.

If this is your first major step, congratulations! If you’re a regular, great job, keep it up; eventually you’ll be a grey beard with the rest of us.

I think the major issue is that most people see bike lanes as removing their choice to drive, rather than adding alternatives to make driving easier. These people pushing for change need to look at the MAYA principal principle, meaning they use the Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable vocabulary to ease in the transition.

Anyone who wants to platform for biking and making better urbanism needs to instead focus their campaign on being fiscally responsible and tackling traffic concerns. If pressed, they can say that there are lots of data showing that small, cheap changes to the road infrastructure can make a large impact in both traffics and taxes.

RiderExMachina,

You haven’t met some of my coworkers

RiderExMachina,

Well yeah, you gotta school them 😜

RiderExMachina,

That aesthetic is called Frutiger Aero, and would certainly be a welcome return from the current sterile design we’re currently using.

RiderExMachina, (edited )

Frutiger Aero” is the blending of nature and technology (e.g. bright nature wallpaper on a computer monitor). “Aero” is the glossy UI design.

RiderExMachina,

Are you sure its removing those packages and not updating them?

RiderExMachina,

Me, whose going to start studying EE: 😭

RiderExMachina,

Luckily I have 6 years of Electronics manufacturing experience, so the math and theory are the things I’ll need to learn most of. Unfortunately, those things are the hardest part…

RiderExMachina,

This makes sense to me, actually. Letters are usually taught with false sounds, and N and K could phonetically be taught as “nuh” and “kuh” by a teacher.

RiderExMachina,

They have a lot of practice from all the dropbears

RiderExMachina,

Times are tough, but here’s what’s worked for me so far:

  1. Spend less than you make
  2. Keep a budget
  3. Keep debts to a minimum
  4. If you live with your parents, try to save as much as you can
  5. Have an end goal

Depending on your circumstances, you might only have to work for 20 years, and if you do what you love, it won’t feel like work.

Linux video editing and Kdenlive tips and tricks for a returning user?

Just recently switched back to Linux after more than a decade away. (I’m currently running Mint Cinnamon if anyone is curious) On Windows I was using the free version of Davinci Resolve for all of my video editing. I quickly discovered that the free version of Resolve for Linux doesn’t support H.264/H.265 so after trying...

RiderExMachina,

I would say one of the few downsides Kdenlive has is the lack of the premade templates. I feel like there’s gotta be a site out there for those premade templates that us hobbyists can download and use, but hopefully they’ll just bake that in directly in the future.

The other issue I have is the effects plugins aren’t always up-to-date, so not all plugins work with the latest version.
