Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Honey, I Shrunk The Vids - a Windows transcoding frontend for FFMPEGEnglish
4·13 days agoLiterally the only thing missing is the fact that developers still go out of their way to support windows. If windows’ proliferation taught you anything, it should be that the people will follow the tools, wherever they happen to be.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gucci criticised for 'AI slop' images ahead of major fashion showEnglish
4·19 days agoI think ousourcing to ai is very much in keeping with reputations of luxury. Luxury was always toxic. By definition, it implies a lack of worthiness in spite of access/ownership. Maybe now, people will start to see how these cookies really crumble.
These questions are all beside the point. People seek help in problems they know how to solve all the time, often in the interest of time itself.
But since you asked:
- I don’t own a car, and they’re just another example of how we cuck ourselves in much the same regard by creating shitty infrastructure to support a modus operandi and economic status quo, that aren’t fit for purpose.
- I’ve some experience in home electronics.
- donlt cycle much these days but i spent many afternoons fixing them as a child; having begged for it in the first place there was no other reliable way to ride them again
- no. but again, asking for help on such matters doesn’t undermine the point because i’m not saying you shouldnlt seek consultation to solve problems you can’t manage alone. To the extent there is a point about consultation, it’s that you should understand enough of the relevant terminolgy to be able to implement the advvise offered by the consultant (the doctor in this case).
- having had a trainer (not my choice) for a dog, i can honestly say yes.
Perhaps, but computers are likely far easier to learn about than whatever that is, and infintely less expensive if you already have regular access to one. Think of it like this, if they were so hard, would so many of the dumbest people in public life have started out as “experts” in computers? Would all the moron libertarian crypto enthusiasts have been able to assemble their elaborate blockchain networks that process a whopping 7 transactions per second?
And please note, laziness alone isn’t a criticism/problem (it can often motivate efficiency), it’s when particular applications of laziness to produces results that require undoing; especially when the costs of undoing excede the cost of doing nothing at all
Not understanding the fundamentals of the tools you use daily is not a design virtue, it just makes you less effective in using them. This cancerous philosophy leverages ignorance and laziness to support billion dollar industries of greed, slop, and censorship. It enables corrupt morons to justify surveilance and exploit weaker people. And right now, it’s running blind and head first into a civilizational death trap.
If you’re on android, have you tried “unexpected keyboard” from fdroid? It’s waaaaaaay better than the standard ones you get, ime/o.
Got banned for mocking a racist
As a void enjoyer, i’m very happy it was included at all because it never seems to be. The fact it ranks so highly is the cherry on top!
