Agreed. There are other options, but I as a beginner started with kdenlive (something looked right about it, I guess) and I really like.

Isn't it kind of the opposite though? The tendency towards increasing entropy kind of powers the stuff that lets us exist.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. It is a critical mechanism by which our culture encourages poor people to be angry at other poor people that they don't have more instead of at the people with ALL THE STUFF.

Well that is still exploitation, just nicer exploitation.

But, being nice and even slightly generous while exploiting your employees is how you get them to stick around at best and how you get them to not rise up en masse and drag you and your friends down main street until the screaming stops.

Well hey, on the upside I have switched back to browsing on my Linux PC rather than my phone. I have the monitors on arms next to my end of the couch, so I can hang out with my family and watch a movie or whatever, but also have a 27" monitor hovering over my lap. And I'm already kinda old so it will help once my eyes start going, lol.

Sure it does, if you turn them on. Here's the relevant screen in Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Bah, but thanks for the info!

It used to be that if you disabled hibernate or something, it would actually shut down completely then start back up fresh when powered on, instead of that hybrid startup thing.

If there's some new, worse version then I have no idea, lol.

This meme but with Mint Cinnamon IMO.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. Generally when I'm using a Linux PC to work on something, I don't want to be fixing the PC itself too. And we make an embedded Linux product at work, so it's not like I miss out on the fun, lol.

I use Mint everywhere. It works great. Being easier for newcomers to use and having an extra layer of polish does not restrict my use of the command line or scripting.

Tell me it wouldn't work, though!

LOOK ME IN MY FACE! I bet you can't.
